I dunno. I still think Ronald McDonald is better at DDR and senselessly killing people courtesy of his fast food.

I would absolutely try 12-panel if there were such a thing...or 16-panel...or 20-panel in PIU. That's why the games switched to widescreen monitors, right? ;)

Didn't one of the XBox home versions have 16-arrow charts or am I mis-remembering that?

Hmm. I think maybe it had a 4-player mode, but I don't know about 16-panel. 4-player would have been super easy--especially given that the console supports 4 controllers anyway. 16-panel, on the other hand, would have required the development of new content. I'd love to be wrong about this, but Konami seems way too lazy to have bothered with that.

If it's true, I definitely want to try it!

But it seems like it would have similar issues as Xbox 360 Kinect did: holy shit that would require a lot of space in front of the TV!

Well shoot I guess it does exist! It's called quad mode and it looks really, really difficult:

I don't know much about the CS releases and I've never played DDR on Xbox.

Bowling question:

I recently learned that if you bowl a 'perfect game' (i.e. 12 strikes in a row) across multiple games it's called a Varipapa 300. Does the bowling community recognize resetting/restarting? For example, if I'm bowling solo and I roll two strikes and break my streak am I allowed to abandon that game and start over? Is that considered bad manner? Is this commonly done?

I've bowled 12 strikes in my lifetime. Does that count?
