Konami announces Dance Dance Revolution's North American future

[07.23.01] » Dance Dance Revolution Disney Mix confirmed for North America; more pads and games on the way.

   Konami of America discussed its plans for the Dance Dance Revolution series in a recent press release. The North American version of the rhythm game has proved more popular than the company expected, having quickly become hard to find. As a result, Konami will produce more game units and dance pad controllers.

   In addition, the company officially announced Dance Dance Revolution: Disney's Rave for North American release, as previously suggested by an EBgames.com listing. To be titled Dance Dance Revolution Disney Mix in North America, the game features electronica remixes of classic Disney songs and new Disney-themed graphics. Disney Mix will ship on September 18th at a suggested retail price of $39.99 US; the original Dance Dance Revolution is not required to play it.

   A special dance pad controller featuring Disney characters was also released in Japan to go along with the Disney game; Konami is considering releasing this peripheral in North America but has not yet finalized any plans.
