Hmmm...
To do:
  • Rip and check for any unused stage.
  • Check the unused .ss4 step charts files.
  • Try to restore the unused songs and character slots.

Dance Dance Revolution II is all about finality. For one, it was the final game in the series for the Nintendo Wii, as well as the final Dance Dance Revolution game released for a home console. It is mainly known for having tracks from the arcade release of Dance Dance Revolution X2, including its boss songs. Now you can play the first 19 at home!

Unused Text

The directory text contains the game's text files. Among the strings displayed when unlocking a song, several go unused:

NEW SONG!!
"VANILLA ICE?" Unlocked!

NEW SONG!!
"ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT" Unlocked!

NEW SONG!!
"☆shining☆" Unlocked!

NEW SONG!!
"WH1TE RO5E" Unlocked!

These four strings refer to songs that don't appear in this game at all. "VANILLA ICE?" and "ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT" might be working titles for BEFREE and All Thu The Night, which would later appear in the Xbox 360 game Rhythm Party. "☆shining☆" and "WH1TE RO5E" refers to the songs by Pink Turbo and Y&Co., respectively, which appeared in the arcade release of Dance Dance Revolution X2.

NEW SONG!!
"HEARTBREAK (Sound Selectaz Remix)" Unlocked!

NEW SONG!!
"The Heavens Above" Unlocked!

NEW SONG!!
"Haunted Rhapsody" Unlocked!

NEW SONG!!
"Something Special" Unlocked!

NEW SONG!!
"Get Back Up!" Unlocked!

NEW SONG!!
"Take A Step Forward" Unlocked!

NEW SONG!!

These songs are already available by default, so these strings are not used.
