Internationally, 2001 was a big year for non-Japanese DDR fans, as KONAMI started releasing DanceDanceRevolution titles internationally on the Sony PlayStation. [[CS DDR US|DanceDanceRevolution CS (America)]] came out in the U.S., containing a decent mix of songs from [[AC DDR 1st|DanceDanceRevolution]] through [[CS DDR 3rd|3rdMIX CS]], while [[CS DS EuroMIX|Dancing Stage EuroMIX CS]] came out in Europe. Both North America and Europe received [[CS DDR Disney MIX|DanceDanceRevolution Disney MIX]] ('''Dancing Stage Disney MIX''' in Europe), a ''very'' loose port of [[CS DDR Disney's RAVE|Dancing Stage featuring Disney's RAVE]] that eliminated most of the non-Disney based licenses with 4thMIX KONAMI originals. The only major addition is MANIAC charts for all songs on Single, but you need to play all the songs on TRICK first to unlock them, which is a tad tedious. | Internationally, 2001 was a big year for non-Japanese DDR fans, as KONAMI started releasing DanceDanceRevolution titles internationally on the Sony PlayStation.

DanceDanceRevolution also saw a big first in BEMANI; the first mobile BEMANI game. Years before [[jubeat plus]] or [[REFLEC BEAT plus]], there was [[CS DDR i-appli|DanceDanceRevolution (i-αppli)]], which allowed one to play MIDI versions of DanceDanceRevolution songs on your mobile phone. | DanceDanceRevolution also saw a big first in BEMANI; the first mobile BEMANI game.

GUITARFREAKS & drummania found itself struggling with the limitations of the KONAMI BEMANI SYSTEM 573 DIGITAL hardware. The series was losing as many songs as it was introducing, many of which ''never'' returned to the series again, including KONAMI originals. Space limitations got so bad that by the time [[AC_GF6DM5|GUITARFREAKS 6thMIX & drummania 5thMIX]] came out, KONAMI had to remove near all the older songs' BASS charts just to have enough room for all of the songs. Both releases did get a boost with a certain add-on this year, which will be explained below. On the CS front, only one new home release for PlayStation 2 - [[CS_GF4DM3|ギタドラ! GUITARFREAKS 4thMIX & drummania 3rdMIX]] - came out this year, selling so poorly that KONAMI didn't bother to port any further games on PlayStation 2 for over four years. | GUITARFREAKS & drummania found itself struggling with the limitations of the KONAMI BEMANI SYSTEM 573 DIGITAL hardware.
