Unofficial word about Ultramix's Canadian future.

It appears that due to a licensing SNAFU that a Canadian release of DDR Ultramix has been put on indefinite hold and will likely never see the light of day. This was scooped by Nikashi from his talks with a Konami representative. Until an official representative of Konami confirms to us, consider this unofficial word.

Thanks to Nikashi for the information and for being so persistent on this issue.

The Konami rep says Song content is up to MS whether they'll allow Canadians to download the songs if they import.. I'm waiting for information from Microsoft, but from previous talks, there shouldn't be an issue since Xbox Live doesn't know what region you're connected from, and most likely wouldn't disable downloads to Canadians since it's a paid service, which gets around the whole licensing fees thing.

Why? Why??!! WHY?!!!!

Konami, please DON'T DO THIS. Yes, I could always import, but this is a complete mistake. I live in Canada, and just, Oh. My. God. I certainly hope this comes out in Canada or else I am never buying another Konami product again.

Why are we always getting screwed?

Grrr... At least, for most people it won't be too hard to just order it from the States. I know I had to order my PS2 to USB adapter from Texas because I couldn't find any place here in Calgary.

Stupid Konami, stupid Microsoft.

That totally bites not being released in Canada

REMEMBER:This is UNOFFICIAL news as of now.They might release it in Canada.

I on the otherhand,think that Konami should just pay the extra licensing fees or whatever...makes some people happy right?These are die hard fans of your game,Konami!Do us a favor and do that for our Canadian pals.

I think that DDRUltramix will probably hit Canada stores because they will have to market it out to people other than Americans to make more money and profits.It would be a smart move...maybe I'm just thinking weird...but that would be what I would do...

Again,I'm just a stupid dorky 13 year old who has no life and likes DDR too much,but yeah...I think this way.

This is not confirmed in any way, but someone in Canada has tried to go online with DDR Ultramix, and were not able to play against anyone on live (No games were shown available), and the Song Pack was not able to be downloaded.

Sure going out of their way to make sure we can't get those songs or play online against americans, geez...

Call me curious George of you want but....what effort does it take to import and play games from the US? Do Canadian machines hve territory lockouts?

I have been an importer since way back in the days of the SNES and despite our different TV system, inflated prices ($110 for Super Mario Kart anyone??!! or how about $135 for StarFox 64!!!), low supply & high demand it really is the only way to go. It seems to me that this is just a trivial matter.

By all means correct me I am wrong.

Only Canada has the EXACT SAME TV and electrical systems as the US do... you know how on PS2 games it says "NTSC U/C"... well the C stands for Canada
