The European arcade version of [[AC DDR SuperNOVA2|DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA2]] never made it to Europe, due to Sony's refusal of letting the original Japanese PlayStation 2 into European territories. BEMANI Python 2, the hardware SuperNOVA2 ran on, was simply a retail PlayStation 2 with added I/O boards. While Europe ''did'' receive a PlayStation 2 Dancing Stage title under [[CS DS SuperNOVA2|that name]], it was nothing more than a stripped-down version of the [[CS DDR SuperNOVA2 NA|North American PlayStation 2 SuperNOVA2 CS game]], with [[Cara Mia|one new license]] and most of the North American licenses removed.

A planned adaption of [[AC jb|jubeat]] for the Western market, with a different title to emphasize its correct pronunciation. A few location tests were held in the US and Europe alongside [[AC DDR X|DanceDanceRevolution X]], featuring [[AC jb#UBeat Location Test|a different songlist]] compared to the Japanese original. Nothing ever came out of it afterwards, and the UBeat-exclusive licenses were never added to jubeat, though a few were later added to the mobile [[CS jukebeat|jukebeat]] with different charts.

Similarly to UBeat, a localized version of [[AC jb ripples|jubeat ripples]] was tested under the name jukebeat in the US and Europe, also with [[AC jb ripples#jukebeat Location Test|a different songlist]]. Just as with UBeat, it never saw full release in either territory, although [[CS jb plus|jubeat plus]] would later see release in those territories under the [[CS jukebeat|jukebeat]] name.

A deluxe version of [[AC PPP|ParaParaParadise]] that had support for three players, a widescreen display and an upgraded sound system. The song list was identical to the regular version.

A mobile version of SOUND VOLTEX, whose interface was based on that of [[AC SDVX VW|SOUND VOLTEX VIVID WAVE]]. First announced in JAEPO 2019, and last shown at Tokyo Game Show 2019. Nothing else has been said about the game since then.

Read as "Otoiroha", the game was similar to SOUND VOLTEX in terms of gameplay, with four transparent buttons over the screen, like jubeat, and two sliders on the side of the cabinet that needed to be slid into certain positions, much like the knobs of SOUND VOLTEX. The game was revealed at JAEPO 2016 alongside [[AC NST|ノスタルジア]], but no news about it was heard afterwards, and KONAMI quietly cancelled the game later that year. (ノスタルジア, despite being marketed as the minor release of the two - and initially not even part of the BEMANI family - ended up being fully developed, and was released on March 1st, 2017.)

As of January 31st, 2017, on the eAMUSEMENT app, Otoiroha's character image tag and the ability to select the game series as a favorite were removed without an announcement. While the website is still up for the game, it hasn't been updated since its reveal. Its few originals have since appeared in [[AC jb clan|jubeat clan]] and [[AC RB Reflesia|REFLEC BEAT 悠久のリフレシア]].

A game that was location tested twice in 2018. The gameplay was intended to be similar to SEGA's popular rhythm game, ''CHUNITHM'', with the addition of a crossfader. Continuing a recent KONAMI trend of making new games' cabinets from the skeleton of the cabinets of games that have reached end of life, this game was partially based off a REFLEC BEAT cabinet. Its known soundtrack consists entirely of anime song remixes by [[BEMANI Sound Team]] artists and commissioned regulars.

After the second location test, this game was never heard from again, not even being mentioned at JAEPO 2019. Several of the anime remixes intended for it have appeared in [[AC jb festo|jubeat festo]], [[AC NST Op.2|ノスタルジア Op.2]], and [[AC SDVX VW|SOUND VOLTEX VIVID WAVE]].
