Unreleased games

Dance Dance Revolution Solo (International)

Only a test build existed in North America; this game never saw a full release outside of Asia.

Dance Dance Revolution Solo Bass Mix had a public test build in early 2000 in the United States at Konami's former test location Diversions in Chicago, IL. It was later replaced with Dance Dance Revolution USA.

Major differences from the Japanese build is the absence of 3 songs: "That's The Way '98," "Together and Forever", and "Get Off." The Nonstop Megamix course including these songs were also not present. All other functions and hidden modes were available for play including Maniac mode, Ultimate Maniac mode, Nonstop Megamix, and machine link play.

Dancing Stage Solo is a cancelled video game for Europe. Konami filed to trademark the name on July 9, 1999. It was registered on July 25, 2000, but expired ten years after filing.[25] This game's Caution screen, high score background and title screen were present as unused game data in the Asian versions of Dance Dance Revolution Solo 2000.[26]

Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix (Windows)

Released as Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix for the Xbox.

Originally Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix was going to be a Windows title, sequeling Dance Dance Revolution which had been released a couple of years before.[27] Screenshots of the game under development were released to video game news sites showing an interface that closely resembled the previous Windows game.[28] Later in development the game was completely changed visually and released on the Microsoft Xbox.[29]

Dancing Stage SuperNova 2 (Europe)

This game was never released. Reason: PlayStation 2 and arcade board blacklist issues.

The European arcade release of Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova 2, titled Dancing Stage SuperNova 2, was never released due to importation issues surrounding the PlayStation 2-based engine. The arcade release of DDR SuperNova 2 uses an imported Japanese PlayStation 2 to power the game.[30] The import ban came after the release of Dancing Stage SuperNova, the second Dance Dance Revolution arcade released in Europe to use a PlayStation 2 engine.[30]

Dancing Stage SuperNova 2 was released for the European PlayStation 2 directly on October 3, 2008. The songlist is mostly based on the North American PlayStation 2 release of Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova 2 instead of the arcade release, but with 12 of the licenses removed and a new one, Cara Mia by Måns Zelmerlöw, added.

Dance Dance Revolution (2014) (North America)

Only a test build existed; this game never saw a full release in North America.

The test build was available to the public on mid 2015 in select Round 1 and Dave & Buster's shops in the United States. e-Amusement functionality was available. The game was later replaced with Dance Dance Revolution A in North America, making it the first Dance Dance Revolution release in that region since Dance Dance Revolution X2.

The USA location test of Dance Dance Revolution (2014) removed 47 songs found in the Japanese release:

Dance Dance Revolution A20 (Europe)

Only a test build existed; this game never saw a full release in Europe.

The test build was available from October 7, 2019 to March 16, 2020 at Namco Funscape in London, England.[31] It uses a European build from August 6, 2019. As with the release of Dance Dance Revolution A in Europe, it did not offer e-Amusement functionality. The location test was concluded shortly before the United Kingdom imposed a stay-at-home order on March 23, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Upon reopening, the location test of A20 was replaced with an August 2018 edition of Dance Dance Revolution A.

While Dance Dance Revolution A20 was not released in Europe, Konami provided other updates to European machines:

Unofficial releases

Dance Dance Revolution Megamix, Dance Dance Revolution Extreme Plus and Dance Dance Revolution Extreme Clean are commercial bootlegs of Dance Dance Revolution Extreme.

Dance Dance Revolution Extreme Pro and Dance Dance Revolution Extreme Clarity are fan-made unofficial patches for Dance Dance Revolution Extreme. Pro enables the Marvelous timing window in all play modes,[33] a feature that debuted in Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova 2, while also unlocking all songs automatically and using Oni scoring in all modes. It also adds support for BrightWhite, a fan-made alternative to the memory card reader. DDR Extreme Clarity improves upon Pro by adding Slow and Fast timing indicators,[33] a feature only available in some circumstances beginning with Dance Dance Revolution X2.

Other unofficial fan-made releases are typically powered by StepMania software, and generally use official Dance Dance Revolution releases as inspiration.
