Konami and Zuiki have announced that Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini will be available for public sale on September 27, 2024. Pre-orders for the mini emulator console are immediately available on Zuiki Store. It will have a price tag of 49,500 yen (~$315.60).
The Classic Mini console will contain a number of songs from the first Dance Dance Revolution entry, as well as the 2nd Mix and 3rd Mix sequels. It will also come with a pair of miniature controllers that are only suitable to operate with hands. However, players can also connect regular DDR controllers via USB to play the game with their feet as usual.
The console will also have more connectivity features. The owner will be able to connect the device to a larger PC monitor or television via HDMI. The mini controllers will also be compatible with Konami’s PC game, Dance Dance Revolution Grand Prix.
The mini console’s design will also be customizable. Zuiki will include a set of swappable stickers in the set, and the owner will be able to mix and match the pop panels from among the featured titles.
Zuiki first revealed the mini console in October 2023 to celebrate the Dance Dance Revolution series’ 25th anniversary. The company held a crowdfunding session from October 10, 2023, to January 26, 2024, and it gathered over 81 million yen, or around $516,500 with the exchange rates in late April 2024.
Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini will be released on September 27, 2024.
