Konami has not made any additional announcements about potentially bringing the series to mobile devices or if it has any intentions of releasing a new title outside of arcades.ĭance Dance Revolution A3 is available on arcade machines. However, a project known as Dance Dance Revolution Ultimate, which would see the popular dance title appear on mobile devices, has had little to no updates concerning a potential release. This included plans for the releases, such as being able to project the game from your mobile device to a monitor or TV. In 2019, Konami announced plans to bring Dance Dance Revolution and Beatmania to mobile devices. This means users will need to go to a physical machine in order to play these songs. However, Dance Dance Revolution A3 is only available in arcades. In April 2022, it updated the tracklist to include popular songs from Touhou Project titles. Throughout the course of its lifespan, Konami has updated the tracklist for Dance Dance Revolution A3 several times.
Konami shared information through the official Dance Dance Revolution A3 website, announcing the inclusion of “Megalovania” in the game. Those with access to the arcade machine will be able to give this song a spin. Please give the games a shot for yourself I love the genre, and the last thing I want is for people to think it totally inaccessible if you haven't been playing them for years already.“Megalovania,” one of the more well-known tracks from Undertale, is now available in Dance Dance Revolution A3. If you were intrigued and think you might enjoy them but were put off by the difficulty of things shown off at AGDQ, please know that the genre doesn't just cater to that sort of gameplay. There are a huge amount of rhythm games out there. And the coming months, Dave & Buster's will bring back Dance Dance Revolution, which has continued to iterate and refine its formula despite the previous North American distributor's complete mishandling of the franchise. If you're lucky enough to live near a Round1 (with locations in California, Texas, Illinois, Washington State, and Massachusetts) you can also play an amazing variety of imported Japanese arcades such as beatmania IIDX (still considered by many to be the pinnacle of the rhythm game genre), pop'n music, Sound Voltex, Guitar Freaks and DrumMania, Groove Coaster, CROSSxBEATS, Taiko no Tatsujin, and tons more. And this isn't just a recent trend going backwards, you can find rhythm hits on any platform, from Gitaroo Man to Elite Beat Agents. Guess you'll have to play other files with easier charts until you can work your way up to these ones. Square Enix has also published the lauded Theatrhythm series, based on Final Fantasy music and soon to expand to cover music from other series, on 3DS as well. 1: The answer to the question is 'no.' Lots of packs come out with just one or two difficulties charted, sorry. Sega has been busy too, having released Project DIVA on PS3/Vita and Project Mirai on 3DS as a result of fan demand.
The PS Vita (and by extension, the PS TV) has an incredible wealth of music titles, with Superbeat: XONiC and Persona 4 Dancing All Night having hit just within the four months alone to join classics like DJMAX Technika Tune. If you watched the StepMania Showcase and thought it interesting but not for you, please, please consider giving the many rhythm games on the market a try for yourself. It's as if they decided to have a fighting game showcase and instead of Street Fighter, they decided to showcase Mugen. And now everyone who watched AGDQ thinks rhythm games are little more than robots performing 1500 APM input spams of little variety or imagination rather than fully fleshed out, approachable, accessible experiences. There is no shortage of truly innovative products that could have been featured.Īfter all this, after the entire genre and its player base has fought long and hard to reach some sort of recognition outside of Japan, what did we get? A fan-produced simulator of DDR that no doubt is popular simply because you can download it and any content any random person created for free.įan-made offshoots like StepMania would never have even existed if not for the pioneers of the genre creating the gameplay design it shamelessly rips off in the first place. It's an incredible genre with huge diversity, with not only Konami (who still develop rhythm games despite having abandoned seemingly everything else) holding the torch but Sega, Taito, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Andamiro, and many others consistently contributing new titles every year.
The most storied franchises had their start in the 1990s and are still going today. Rhythm games have an incredibly long and rich history in Japan. I wasn't going to say anything, but it keeps getting brought up and I don't feel any better about it after yesterday, so.Īs a long time rhythm game player, everything about the StepMania Showcase feels like a slap in the face.
