DDR your GBA

This one's a little messy, and involves the death of a perfectly likeable DDR pad, but it's all for a good cause. Jason1820 modded up his DDR pad to control his Game Boy Advance, and got himself a good game of Pac-Man going. The video after the break demonstrates the very type of hijinks that can ensue, and also serves as a helpful reminder why Nintendo was insane not to include a backlight in original Advance. Yeah, we're still bitter about that.

I just bought DDR Universe 2 for Xbox360 and when I went on XBL there were just 2 people on thee leaderboards...in the entire world.

I'd like to see a DDR game for the PSP since you can hook it up to the TV now with the AV cables. They just need an adapter for the PSP's mini-USB.

Using this to control some sort of 'old skool' fighting game would be awesome *imagines button bashing on a DDR pad*

There WAS *several* versions of Dance Dance Revolution for the DS. They might be more suited for a dance pad than Pac-man is.

"...a perfectly likeable DDR pad..."

Its pastic...therefore, nothing likeable about it.

Also, as I have felt the need to point this out in EVERY DDR releated post.

Yeah, I want backlight on my classic gba!

its a trick!!! hes pressing the arrow keys while he pretends that his feet is actually controlling it! no way it can be that advanced.

I thought so that one also, but, when they zoom to the GBA screen, they took out the pad.

What they did was wire the DDR pad signs to the GBA pad, or something like that

i can only imagine how many times he will drop the GBA when he starts really getting into it.

These nerds just wanted an excuse to dance in public.

I always wanted to get so good at a DDR song I could do it without even looking at the screen, and play a Game Boy while doing it. I guess with this you could at least fake it. :-p
