North American DanceDanceRevolution Games

Here is a listing of all the North American DanceDanceRevolution console game releases. Songs are listed by system in order of release. Little blurbs will be added below if applicable.

This page is VERY much under construction.

PlayStation

• DanceDanceRevolution US CS
  • A collection of 27 songs from the AC/CS releases of the Japanese games from DanceDanceRevolution 1st through 3rdMIX CS. SMOKE's background is edited to meet ESRB standards. Interface is based on DDR 3rdMIX.

• DanceDanceRevolution Disney MIX
  • A loose port of Dancing Stage featuring Disney's RAVE, containing only 19 songs versus the original game's 25. All of the Disney covers (except ELECTRICAL PARADE (Retro Future MIX)) remain, but all of the Club Disney licenses aside from (Are You Ready) Do The Bus Stop have been removed, as have several original licenses. Some of the slots have been filled with DDR originals from DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX and its CS counterpart. The staff credits have also been removed from the post-game credits, though the video itself still plays when you finish Arcade mode. On the plus side, all songs have new Single MANIAC charts now.

• DanceDanceRevolution KONAMIX
  • Final US PlayStation DDR game. A collection of 52 songs from DanceDanceRevolution through DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX CS, all of them Konami originals. First US DDR game with Edit Mode, and the only game in the US DDR series with Solo Mode. AFTER THE GAME OF LOVE's lyrics have been removed (it's now just called AFTER THE GAME), the chanting in THE EARTH LIGHT has been removed, and the banner and background for CUTIE CHASER have been censored to remove the gun shots. Interface is based on 4thMIX.

PlayStation 2

• DDRMAX: DanceDanceRevolution
  • A collection of 71 songs, though few of them are from the original DDRMAX arcade game (only one license, ORDINARY WORLD, made the cut), though most of the CS crossovers and a few of the new Konami originals are in this mix. Most of the songlist consists of DDR Konami originals and Dancemania licenses from DanceDanceRevoluton 2ndMIX through 5thMIX, some of which (like THE CUBE and many of the Club songs) have never appeared in a Japanese PS2 release. Also includes 5 new BEMANI crossovers, 5 new licenses, and 4 new remixes by Sota Fujimori. Also has Oni Mode, even though the original DDRMAX had no courses. First US CS DDR game with Information Mode, which includes detail on each song and other info tracked by the game.

• DDRMAX2: DanceDanceRevolution
  • A collection of 69 songs, with slightly more accuracy to the arcade DDRMAX2 release than DDRMAX US CS was. However, it only includes 7 of the Challenge-only charts. Most notable among the various Konami originals / Dancemania revivials is the return of GHOSTS (VINCENT DE MOOR MIX), which finally has foot ratings. Beginner and Challenge charts make their US CS debut, and a traditional Challenge Mode replaces the 4-bar version from the original arcade game (the music is also replaced). Some of the licenses have their own videos, a first in the CS DDR series, and a trait that eventually the Japanese games would copy. THE WHISTLE SONG (Blow My Whistle Bitch) was renamed to THE WHISTLE SONG (Blow My Whistle Baby) to keep the game's E rating. Overall the US DDRMAX2 includes 8 new licenses, 3 new CS songs, and 4 new BEMANI crossovers.

• DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME US
  • A collection of 70 songs, with very few of the songs being from the original arcade release. Only three new songs remain from the arcade release; The legend of MAX, TRIP MACHINE survivor, and MEMORIES. Most of the other songs, as usual, are older Konami originals and Dancemania licenses. The latter has two noteworthy songs; the first is DON"T CLOCK ME, the only Dancemania license from Solo BASS MIX (not counting GET UP'N MOVE) to ever appear in a US CS DDR game. The other is THERE YOU'LL BE, which makes its first CS appearance in any region. THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON (Revival 2001 Mix) was renamed THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON (notorious mix). A completely new interface involving a jukebox like songwheel replaces the original game. Songs are worth 7,000,000 points at max (bonus points are distributed after the song is over, up to 3,000,000 max), and you must full combo a song now to AA it, not unlike 4thMIX and needing to full combo a song to A it. On the plus side, the new game interface restores the top and bottom parts of the playing field that have been removed since 5thMIX, allowing you to see better the arrows from below. Several of the new licenses are covers from Karaoke Revolution to advertise that series' release. First US CS PS2 DDR release with Mission Mode, a mode in the earlier Japanese DDR titles where you completed certain requirements. Completing this mode unlocks everything in the game, but you have to play a certain amount of songs first to unlock it. It's also the first US DDR game compatible with Sony's EyeToy accessory for mini games. Overall, EXTREME US has 13 new licenses and 4 CS songs (though two of them come from the Silent Hill game series). There are no new BEMANI crossovers.

• DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME2
  • A US-only "sequel" to DDR EXTREME with 74 songs, containing many of the songs/Konami originals/crossovers from the original arcade game that weren't present in EXTREME US CS. Virtually every song has its own unique video/overlays now, the only US CS game with this distinction. (The one exception is Get Busy, the game's sole live-action video.) Other songs includes various Konami originals and Dancemania licenses, including popular songs (such as butterfly (UPSWING MIX)) and more obscure songs like LOOK AT US (Daddy DJ Remix). It's also the only US CS DDR game with a song from E-ROTIC, possibly owing to the game's E-10 rating, the first in the series. AGAINST ALL ODDS (Definite Mix)'s title was changed to AGAINST ALL ODDS (TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW). 6 more Challenge-only charts make their US CS debut. The MAX2-EXTREME era songwheel returns, but it's been redesigned a bit, looking like a prototype for the interface in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA. EXTREME2 also contains an expanded Mission Mode, which is required to unlock all the Konami originals in the game except for You gotta move it (feat. Julie Rugaard), a song from famous Japanese video game musician Yuzo Koshiro. You can also save from the song select, a first in a CS DDR release. The game also uses the same exact scoring system as EXTREME US CS. Overall EXTREME 2 contains 13 new licenses, 6 new CS songs, and 5 new BEMANI crossovers. (This is the last US PS DDR game with new BEMANI crossovers.)
    

• DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA US CS
  • A loose port of the recent arcade game of the same name, with some (though not all) of the new Konami originals, very few of the new licenses, and some of the game's BEMANI crossovers for a total of 74 songs. Most of the rest of the songlist consists of new licenses, songs from DanceDanceRevolution STR!KE, and leftover EXTREME songs not in the last three games. This is the first game since MAX US CS to not have Challenge-only songs. It's also the only US PS2 DDR game with no Information Mode, and also the last one with an older Dancemania license; FRECKLES (KCP Re-Edit). New license Robogirl from The Crystal Method was renamed from its original title Roboslut due to the ESRB. Unfortunately, 5 of the game's new songs can only be played online, and are not playable outside of online. (These songs were thankfully added the following game.) Overall SuperNOVA US CS contains 14 new licenses (along with 2 from STRIKE!), and 5 CS songs (though 3 can only be played online).

• DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2 US CS
  • A very loose port of the arcade game from 2 months earlier. Only 16 of the 26 new Konami originals (dream of love and volcano were moved to the license category), 2 of of the 14 licenses, and 4 of the 10 BEMANI crossovers are present, with a total of 72 songs. The Groove Radar songs are completely absent. Most of the songs consist of the remaining SuperNOVA songs missing from the previous game, the Japanese SuperNOVA CS songs, some more leftover EXTREME songs, and e-motion, making its first PS2 appearance in any region. The once online-exclusive songs from SuperNOVA US are also included. Overall SuperNOVA 2 contains 23 brand-new licenses and 2 new CS songs.

• DanceDanceRevolution Disney Channel Edition
  • US-only DDR game, containing the US PS2's era smallest songlist at 40 songs. As the name suggests, it contains licenses from various Disney Channel shows at the time of the game's 2008 release. There are overall 20 licenses, all of them covers; the other 20 songs are Konami originals, but some require insane requirements to unlock, such as a full combo Marvellous on a song! The usual DDR cast are replaced with various Disney Channel actors as well.

• DanceDanceRevolution X US CS
  • A somewhat accurate port of the then-unreleased arcade version, containing all except one of the game's new Konami originals (A Geisha's Dream, which wasn't out at the beginning of the game's arcade release either), and even has most of the arcade licenses, with a grand total of 75 songs. It is missing, though, the Japanese licenses (along with Koko Soko), the 5 new BEMANI crossovers, and some of the new options/display settings. It's also missing, like the later Japanese CS release, all the X-Special charts and HOTTEST PARTY crossovers. Most of the rest of the songlist consists of most of the remaining SuperNOVA 2 arcade songs not included earlier, along with the Japanese SuperNOVA2 CS songs (except license LEAVE ME ALONE) and SOUL CRASH, the latter finally making it US CS debut. Overall X US CS contains 7 new licenses and no new CS/BEMANI songs.

• DanceDanceRevolution X2 US CS
  • A collection of 62 songs, this is the final US PS2 DDR game. Some of the new Konami originals and some of the licenses from this game later appeared on the then unannounced arcade X2 game. (These same Konami originals also appear in DanceDanceRevolution HOTTEST PARTY3, released the same day in the US.) The other remaining Konami originals consist of the BEMANI crossovers and A Geisha's Dream from X AC, SuperNOVA JP CS song Moonster finally making its US CS debut, and some old Konami originals from other arcade installments (like MARS WAR 3 finally appearing in the US). The Groove Radar songs from SuperNOVA 2 finally make their US CS debut, as does EXTREME song Dance Dance Revolution and Challenge-only chart MY SUMMER LOVE(TOMMY'S SMILE MIX). Overall X2 US CS contains 15 new licenses and 16 new Konami originals. This is the last (non-iOS) console/arcade DDR game in any region with banners.

Xbox

• DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX
  • A collection of 51 songs, this is the first Xbox DDR game. It is the only game on either the Xbox or the 360 to use the classic DDR background videos from DDRMAX-EXTREME, as the series would make up its own videos from the sequel onwards. It's also the only Xbox game to use the traditional songwheel from MAX to X as well. ULTRAMIX is most notable as the first CS DDR game to go online, where you can download song packs for money. 6 song packs of 5 songs each were released overall, all of them Konami originals consists of either DDR classics or new BEMANI crossovers (almost all of DanceManiax's Konami originals were put on the song packs). The uncut AFTER THE GAME OF LOVE makes its US CS DDR debut, and HYPNΦTIC CRISIS makes its only US CS DDR appearance in this game. No songs have Beginner or Challenge charts. ULTRAMIX overall contains 4 new licenses, 4 new CS songs, and 7 new BEMANI crossovers.

• DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX2
  • A collection of 69 songs, ULTRAMIX's sequel introduces a new interface involving a more folder-like sorting order for songs, with smaller banner sizes but keeping the Groove Radar. Songlist has a much bigger emphasis on new licenses, original songs, and new crossovers than ULTRAMIX. Beginner charts are added (even for Double, a first in a DDR game), but are not saved. In fact, only 19 of the 69 songs are from previous Japanese DDR games. New, higher-res generic background videos are introduced, though a few of the licenses and originals have their own videos as well. 6 new song packs are downloadable as well, again each with 5 songs, some of them even licenses. Overall ULTRAMIX2 contains 23 new licenses, 12 new CS songs, and 15 new BEMANI crossovers.

• DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX3
  • A collection of 71 songs, ULTRAMIX3 continues the trend of original songs ULTRAMIX2 did, with an updated interface featured a bubble background motif. The number of earlier Japanese DDR songs is even lower; just 15. BYE BYE BABY BALLOON finally receives song difficulty levels, its first appearance since MAX. Challenge difficulty (named Oni) is added, but isn't displayed on screen; press down on songs featuring the chart is the only way to access it. (Your score also doesn't save.) ULTRAMIX3 also contains an unlocking system, the first in the series. New song packs are lowered to just 3 (of 5 songs each), along with 2 temporarily free songs you could download. Like with EXTREME2 (which came out the same season), some of the licenses are Karaoke Revolution covers. Overall ULTRAMIX3 features 35 new licenses, 10 new CS songs, and 10 new BEMANI crossovers.

• DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX4
  • A collection of 71 songs, this is the final game in the ULTRAMIX series. By this time the Xbox 360 was already out for a year; thus ULTRAMIX3 was sold at reduced price of $29.99, versus the usual $40-50 price tags. Only 16 old DDR songs appear in this version; the rest is all brand-new material. Beginner and Oni charts finally save score, and several new modes of play are added. There are only 2 new song packs this time around, again each with 5 songs. Overall ULTRAMIX4 features 36 new licenses, 14 new CS songs, and 4 new BEMANI crossovers.
