Release Information

- US: June 2016
General Information / Changes
- Announced at the The 5th KONAMI Arcade Championship finals for DanceDanceRevolution (2014).
- The "A" in the game title is pronounced "Ace", just like the letter A in the deck of playing cards.
- The scoring ratio has changed while keeping the previous scoring system:
- Each Great now gives player 60% of score for Marvelous minus 10 (previously, 50% of score for Marvelous minus 10).
- Each Good now gives player 20% of score for Marvelous minus 10 (previously, 0).
- The grading system has also been changed (Except AAA and E):
- Each letter grade now includes a + and –.
- Each letter grade now corresponds to the following ranges:
- AA+ : 950,000 ~ 989,990
- AA : 900,000 ~ 949,990
- AA– : 890,000 ~ 899,990
- A+ : 850,000 ~ 889,990
- A : 800,000 ~ 849,990
- A– : 790,000 ~ 799,990
- B+ : 750,000 ~ 789,990
- B : 700,000 ~ 749,990
- B– : 690,000 ~ 699,990
- C+ : 650,000 ~ 689,990
- C : 600,000 ~ 649,990
- C– : 590,000 ~ 599,990
- D+ : 550,000 ~ 589,990
- D : (Undetermined lower limit) ~ 549,990
- There is no D– grade.
- The music select screen now resembles that of the SOUND VOLTEX series.
- Difficulty sorting style now follows other BEMANI games, with each Level folder containing all difficulties rated with said Level.
- Song folders now organize songs in the following order: songs in Japanese are first, then regular ABC order, and lastly song names that begin with numbers.
- Licenses are also no longer put first in the song folders.
- Options and characters can now be selected via the game's eAMUSEMENT website.
- The Area Browser can also now be done via the eAMUSEMENT website.
- Daily Star and EXTRA ATTACK systems have been removed.
- For Japanese cabinets with PASELI enabled, this option is now divided on:
- PASELI-PREMIUM MODE: the original PASELI option available up to DanceDanceRevolution (2014).
- PASELI-STANDARD MODE: uses less points than PREMIUM MODE. This option counts as STANDARD MODE without inserting physical coins.
- A total of 8 songs released during DanceDanceRevolution (2014) were retrospectively moved to the DanceDanceRevolution A folder.
- Included are the 4 licensed songs from the EDM~Exciting★Dance★Matsuri~ event, the 3 KONAMI original songs from the OSB~Winter★Special★Present~ event, and きゅん×きゅんばっきゅん☆LOVE.
- Even for new songs, characters now use the old dance routines introduced back in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA instead of the new ones introduced in DanceDanceRevolution X.
- Songs that have special choreographies (e.g. Dream Machine) still keep their special choreographies, though.
- Dance Celebration's special choreography was revived as well.
- The song title and artist are now centered rather than left-aligned within their box in gameplay.
- AFRO, YUNI, JENNY, and RAGE have received new outfits.
- However, other characters like EMI, BABY-LON, and RINON have retained their outfits from DanceDanceRevolution X2.
- Character cut-ins are absent.
- "The Dark One" is no longer playable.
- VICTORY CONCENT returns as a playable character, albeit only being able to appear at random.
- The Butterfly SPECIAL ARROW option has been removed.
- The WAVE option now behaves accordingly with the selected Hi-SPEED multiplier.
- A background dance stage from DanceDanceRevolution X2 that was removed in DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX has been restored.
- The GROOVE RADAR will now change accordingly when selecting any options that remove steps from the chart.
- When the dance gauge turns red, the player's lane now receives a Danger overlay.
- On widescreen cabinets shipped with DanceDanceRevolution X, the speakers will turn red as well.
- EX SCORE is now always displayed in the results screen.
- All songs from the 私立BEMANI学園, jubeat・GITADORA・DDRのTriple Journey, and YuniverHills project (ユニバーヒルズproject) events, as well as DanceDanceRevolution (2013)'s EXTRA STAGE boss songs (Monkey Business, Another Phase, Air Heroes, Spanish Snowy Dance, New Generation, and Blew My Mind), are now playable by default, even without an eAMUSEMENT pass.
- The Chinese version CHALLENGE variants introduced in DanceDanceRevolution X2 are no longer playable; their original Japanese versions are used instead when playing.
- All remaining Dancemania licenses that are not remixes of KONAMI original songs were removed from the series on May 30th, 2016, making DanceDanceRevolution A the first core arcade DanceDanceRevoution title to have no traditional Dancemania licenses in it.
