Konami has detailed its newest DDR title ahead of its March release on PS3. Bundled with a mat controller, New Moves will use both it and the PlayStation Move to allow for full-body movement in the action-rhythm title.

As previous games, players will have to match the arrows appearing on-screen in time with the music, but will also have to match the movement of the Move, which appears as a ball of light on-screen, with another set of arrows. You'll also be able to upload video of your sets, recorded by the PlayStation Eye, onto social network sites.

The game boasts fifty tracks, ranging from pop hits to dance anthems. DDR New Moves adds new game modes to the mix. From the press release:

"In 'Dance Off' Mode, two to four players take turns running through the same dance. The player that is able to keep in step more accurately will earn more points and be crowned the winner. In 'Club' Mode - which has been specifically created for die-hard DanceDanceRevolution fans - gamers can play over and over again in a marathon session. The difficulty level of the tracks will change along with the dances the players are challenged to match, as they get further and further into the session. As an added obstacle, various tricks will also come into play. Gamers will be able to play from four to 20 tracks in succession depending on their skill level."
