The mystery of DDRMAX 6th Mix...

Hi, Does anybody know why there are so few DDRMAX 6th Mix machines out there? I have only seen 1 (in las vegas last summer) and when I look around the machine locations page, there are barely any in existance it seems. I love 6th mix, it is what got me hooked on DDR in the first place. I just want to know why there are so few machines out there? Does any know?...or at least have a good guess?

Thanks

The song list on it is really good in my opinion...I can't really see why people would not like it. And the DDRMAX interface is awesome too.

except like 3, all of the songs where on max2 plus a whole bunch of new ones and oni's, so most places upgraded.

6th had some hard songs too...

The songs I miss are BBBB, and flash in the night, and fantasy (good version!)

But overall, it had a weak (and short) songlist, max2 was SUPPOSEDLY better, even though I hated it, and extreme just owns everything, so 6th mix machines are kinda rare now

I dunno,it was a pretty quiet time when 6th Mix was released.

Also, I'd like to point out that 6thMIX has NO IIDX SONGS. It doesn't even have 5-key Beatmania songs.

BM ports, counting remixes, have appeared in DDR since 3rdMIX.

really when 6th mix came out i imported it for ps2 and at first i hated because all the songs were new and didnt have any of my favorite songs but after a while i started to like the mix......but people are right it had a short song list and when max2 came out it blew max out of the water because it pretty much had all the songs max had and more .......the reason many people upgraded thier machines

Because Konami decided to go with the idea of only having new songs on the mix, the result was a pathetically short songlist (totalling in at..27?). Max2 had 95% of the songs on Max, as well as a large amount of new songs and songs from older mixes, AND Oni courses. Extreme is Extreme.

Therefore, Max sucks. Which is why I hate Birmingham.

Max does have some of the best music. But the short song list, and the lack of other features makes it shitty. I'd take almost anything over a max machine because of that.

I personally liked the 6th Mix despite the lack of Long Version songs, Nonstop, Onis and songs but it was okay I think. It didn't have much J-Pop as I would like but more of techno, trance and euro stuff I think. I miss BBBB and Flash In The Night and wish they were on EX, I didn't understand why it didn't make it?

To answer your question, lack of the things I mentioned. And not many people liked it and like every old machine like from 1st-3rd you won't see many around. You'll see more of MAX 2 and EX by this year is over....

I LOVED 6th Mix...

-FOllow Me
-Bye Bye Baby Balloon

*Sigh those songs kicked serious buttocks

6th mix also opened up the lengths to many things that led to the DDR it is today.

R.I.P. DDR Max

in a way it reminded me of ddr 1st mix

I'm not sure if Max one said this but the quote states "We're starting all over again!"

Meaning they wanted to get rid of all their old songs and start w/ new ones. that's probably one of the reason the list was so short.

I think it is a great mix but not in the arcade, the home version rocked because it didn't have that many less songs than the other mixes at home. The whole starting over thing was pretty much saying the whole idea is being completely changed, adding freeze arrows, no more character selection, better graphics, a more IIDX style video system, the list goes on. The problem is with all these great changes, they still made it only have 30 songs. Also another nail in MAX's coffin was Max2's release only months after, and everything have upgraded to be better in Max2, including bringing in ONI, although Nonstop won't be brought back until Extreme.
