How would /v/ save rhythm games in a Western market?

Release console versions of the arcade games. I can't live off the ps2 ones forever

I wouldn't. Last time rhythm games becane big in the West we got endless GH and RB rehashes that killed the genre. Keep it in Japanese arcades and just import various machines to Western arcades.

You don't. Bamani games are already fucking great and have a good position in Japan. Enthusiast overseas fans can buy arcade-quality controllers and use them on very good PC simulators with the exact same songs as arcade or even use arcade data itself with the right hookups.

Trying to popularize non-DDR Bemani games in the West would result in a far weaker song selection due to licensing/Westernization and it would also result in Konami going after Bemani aracde data, fan severs, and possibly even simulators and controller sellers.

What Konami should do is license out the Japanese cabs to certain arcades and leave the games as is. They already do it with a few Round 1s in the West but they could expand it even more.

There's no need, there's plenty of Guitar Hero streamers and osu! is pretty much the biggest competitive rhythm game globally

How do normies have fun playing Just Dance? I was at a party and it was on the wii and all I did was wiggle it to the beat without moving my body and got the highest score. There's literally no skill involved with the game.

Osu is great since it acts as a filter for all the Reddit fags and other weeaboo plebs that want to get into rhythm games.

They just like to dance. My girlfriend plays it every day for a "workout". I don't mind watching. But it is incredible how many bitches own a Wii and their entire library consists of dancing games.

I play DDR because I can mix in movements of dancing and it's a game that takes a lot of time and effort to get good at. Whereas Just Dance requires you to vaguely get the gestures of the song right and there's no difficulty options. Why play a rhythm game that doesn't challenge you? I guess it's just extreme casual fun. Sad that Western rhythm games have come to this.
