About Dance Dance Revolution

High profile U.S. media outlets such as “Good Morning America,” Newsweek, Los Angeles Times, Time and In Style have enthusiastically embraced the game, confirming the title’s widespread popularity in the U.S. The best-selling dancing game has won over gamers, spawned a dedicated fan community and generated regional competitions and tournaments.

The original arcade game made its debut in Japan in October 1998 and quickly became the number-one gaming craze in the country. The first PlayStation® version of the game was released in Japan in March 1999 and boosted the franchise’s popularity even further, selling over 3 million units cumulatively. DDR hit the U.S. that same year, and Konami of America introduced Dance Dance Revolution™ for Sony PlayStation®, which developed a massive fan base.
