Konami’s upcoming version of DDR (DanceDanceRevolution) is set for Multiplayer – on Mobile!
Multiplayer games haven’t exactly set the Mobile gaming world alight before now, but apparently Exit Games’s Neutron engine allows for lots of clever real-time multiplayer shenanigans.
Konami has licensed the engine so that the mobile DDR will allow you to dance off against friends in real-time directly from your mobile as well as upload your score for friends to see on the online leaderboards.
I am not so sure on this one – with a games that depends so much on accurate timing, the latencies of wireless must surely prove a huge obstacle – it will be very interesting to see how the games copes with this…..

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
