DanceDanceRevolution saw itself focusing more on the new and less of the old. Along with going from 30 fps to 60, [[AC DDR 5th|DanceDanceRevolution 5thMIX]] also saw the series remove all but 20 songs prior to [[AC DDR 4th|4thMIX]], licenses and originals alike. KONAMI shook it up even further with [[AC DDRMAX|DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution 6thMIX-]] later that year, which scrapped '''all''' previous songs altogether for 42 new songs, mostly consisting of new Dancemania licenses and CS songs, with only six new originals. KONAMI even removed the dancing characters for the first time in a mainline game. Videos consisted now of various background movies stitched together to form a video, though some songs received their own little original video bits. On the CS front, KONAMI released home ports of [[CS DDR 4th|4thMIX]] and [[CS DDR 5th|5thMIX]]. It also released [[CS DDR EXTRA MIX|DanceDanceRevolution EXTRA MIX]], which brought the songs from [[AC DDR Solo BASS|DanceDanceRevolution Solo BASS MIX]], [[AC DDR Solo 2000|DanceDanceRevolution Solo 2000]], and (almost) all the new songs from [[AC DDR 4th PLUS|DanceDanceRevolution 4thMIX PLUS]] in a single package. | DanceDanceRevolution saw itself focusing more on the new and less of the old.

Internationally, 2001 was a big year for non-Japanese DDR fans, as KONAMI started releasing DanceDanceRevolution titles internationally on the Sony PlayStation. [[CS DDR | Internationally, 2001 was a big year for non-Japanese DDR fans, as KONAMI started releasing DanceDanceRevolution titles internationally on the Sony PlayStation. [[CS DDR NA|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. | ||
DanceDanceRevolution also saw a big first in BEMANI; the first mobile BEMANI game. Near a decade before [[CS jb plus|jubeat plus]] or [[CS RB plus|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.
