It looks like Dance Dance Revolution Universe has run out of breath. Originally set for a fall 2006 debut on the Xbox 360, Gamespot is reporting that DDRU has been delayed until early 2007. Konami cited Microsoft's draconian rules for 3rd party peripherals as the reason for the delay. Which leads to the next tidbit: because of said draconian rules, the DDR dance pads will be wired on 360 (at least initially). Wireless pads are a definite possibility for the future.We didn't even realize a DDR game was bound for the 360 in the first place, so the news has only partially saddened us. What about the rest of you? Were any of you anxiously awaiting Dance Dance Revolution Universe?

1. Well I'm hardly anxiously waiting for it (like I am GOW and Guitar Heroes II), but it's good to have these out on the 360 to broaden it's appeal a bit.
It also definitely needs more 2+ player party games a la Bomberman, Mariokarts etc, but Live Arcade seems to be going in that direction.
