This list is here to point out various BEMANI-related titles that were cancelled. In this case, this list can include international versions of already established games that never saw the light of day, or brand-new games that never took off at all.

Another attempt at bringing over a beatmania IIDX arcade game to Western audiences was made with [[AC Resort Anthem|beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem]]. Like with DJ TROOPERS, no location tests were held, but evidence is found through an unused screen with an English translation of the Warning screen in the game's data. No more attempts at bringing another beatmania IIDX game to America would be made until [[AC HEROIC VERSE|HEROIC VERSE]] was successfully released in January 2020.

== Dancing Stage SuperNOVA2 (arcade) ==


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 (the hardware SuperNOVA2 ran on, the BEMANI Python 2, 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 only [[Cara Mia|one new license]] and most of the North American licenses removed.

A mobile DanceDanceRevolution game intended to be playable on both mobile devices and PCs. First announced at JAEPO 2019, and shown again at Tokyo Game Show 2019 and JAEPO 2020. Nothing since then has been talked about the game. DanceDanceRevolution soundtracks were slowly added not long after to [[CS ULTIMATE MOBILE|beatmania IIDX ULTIMATE MOBILE]], and in November 2021 KONAMI later released a PC DanceDanceRevolution game, [[CS DDR GRAND PRIX|DanceDanceRevolution GRAND PRIX]], likely burying whatever plans were planned for the game.
