The other North American release in 2004 was ULTRAMIX2. Compared to [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX|the first ULTRAMIX]], ULTRAMIX2 mostly featured new content, with commissioned originals and lots of brand-new BEMANI crossovers, mostly from beatmania IIDX. (The DLC song packs would even include GUITARFREAKS / drummania and even KEYBOARDMANIA songs mixed in.) It also featured a brand-new interface and layout, and even new generic clips not previously used in any game in the series before. It got the best reviews of the ULTRAMIX series, and several of its crossovers and originals later made their way two years later in [[AC DDR SuperNOVA|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA]]. | The other North American release in 2004 was ULTRAMIX2.

First up was the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 versions of [[CS DS Fusion|Dancing Stage Fusion CS]], the former version being the last BEMANI in ''any'' region for the original Sony PlayStation. The PS2 version is based on EXTREME US CS interface-wise, but is more colorful. However, it also removed BPM display from that music select screen. Also confusingly, only ''seven'' of the game's twenty-one licenses have Double charts, the rest being only playable in Single. The PlayStation version only includes a total of 20 songs, but the PS2 contains a far bigger 54, which is nearly bigger than the previous two Dancing Stage PlayStation 2 releases combined. | ||
The other European release was [[CS DS Unleashed|Dancing Stage Unleashed]]. It's mostly a port of the North American ULTRAMIX, but with eleven originals removed, the four licenses replaced with eight brand-new ones, and a couple of DLC song pack songs removed and replaced. The game is also only available in English, despite its European release. | The other European release was [[CS DS Unleashed|Dancing Stage Unleashed]].
