As announced tonight on Orange Lounge Radio, the upcoming Xbox and Xbox 360 releases of DDR Ultramix 4 and DDR Universe (respectively) will feature a new game mode called "Power" mode, which will have short (~3-5 minutes) megamix songs available for play, much like the megamixes present in Solo 2000 and Solo Bass Mix.

If you can't wait until Q4 2006 to hear the new megamixes, Orange Lounge Radio will be airing content from the V-Rares through September, so tune in!

Debuting in the 4th quarter of '06 on the XBOX, Dance Dance Revolution: Ultramix 4 will contain a new "Power" mode accessible via a returning feature known as "Party" mode. "Power" mode will allow the user to play a Nonstop music course (four initially available), approximately five minutes in length. These new "Power" courses not only feature a stream of nonstop dancing arrows, but seamlessly mixed nonstop music. Long time fans of the DDR series will recognize this feature as one similar to a Nonstop mode featured in Japan-only arcade release "Dance Dance Revolution: Solo 2000".

Beginning Sunday, September 3rd 2006, Orange Lounge Radio will be offering exclusive first listens of the new Power courses each week on Sunday night, along with bonus V-Rare track previews from the Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 4 V-Rare and the Dance Dance Revolution Universe V-Rare. The music will be debuted during Orange Lounge Radio's live broadcast of Orange Lounge Radio Live, which airs at 6PM Pacific Time. These preview listens will be re-broadcast on the syndicated run of Orange Lounge Radio Live, airing on All Games Radio http://www.allgames.com the following Monday at 5PM Pacific Time and Tuesday at 9AM Pacific Time. The preview listens are exclusive to these live broadcasts, and will not be available on Orange Lounge Radio Live's Podcast feed.
