DanceDanceRevolution A20[a] (pronounced Ace Two Oh) is a music video game, the 16th installment of the Dance Dance Revolution series, and the sequel to Dance Dance Revolution A. The game was released on new, golden cabinets on March 20, 2019 in Japan. A software upgrade for older cabinets for Japan and Asia was released on July 24, 2019, with Korea receiving a localized release on August 1, 2019, and North America on September 24, 2019. A location test in Europe began on October 7, 2019, and it is currently running indefinitely.

Development

On July 4, 2018, Konami opened a Dance Dance Revolution Twitter account in preparation of the series' 20th anniversary,[1] which was celebrated on September 26, 2018.[2] Dance Dance Revolution 20th Anniversary was announced at JAEPO 2019 as a placeholder. The game was first announced on January 26, 2019 during the Dance Dance Revolution A grand final of The 8th KONAMI Arcade Championship finals.[3][4]

Features

The game features the notable return of courses, which was removed in Dance Dance Revolution (2013). There are two kinds of courses, only selectable on the first stage: Nonstop and Class. Unlike the previous main Dance Dance Revolution arcade games, courses are accessed from the song selection screen instead of a separate menu, similar to both Dancing Stage EuroMix games. Both Nonstop and Class play four songs back-to-back. All NONSTOP courses can be switched to CHALLENGE MODE if the LIFE GAUGE option is set to RISKY or LIFE4. Class, intended to measure the player's skill, places a stricter rules on the gameplay; the player cannot change Turn and Assist options and is forced to play on the "Grade" life gauge, which starts out full and depletes faster if it goes down. Players are given a martial arts-inspired "dan rank" certification based on the player's chosen course difficulty. Class is available for golden cabinets only and unavailable in Versus Play. With the installation of the blue interface, it's possible to switch languages in-game, including Japanese, English and Korean as options.

The game introduces a new cabinet design based on the Dance Rush cabinet, but colored gold.

Events

Extra Stage

The Extra Stage system retains the star requirement introduced in DDR X3 VS 2ndMix. The player is required to obtain 9 stars in a round to be allowed an extra song, the number of stars of which is determined by the player's grade. Extra Stages can only be obtained in Premium Mode. For players in Asia territories and North America, this requires "Premium Play" to be selected when the game starts. For players in Japan, this requires Konami's PASELI payment system.

Extra Exclusive

This folder is essentially a replacement for the traditional Extra Stage system of the previous games: the songs in this folder are marked in red and can only be played in Extra Stage.

Summer Dance Camp

The Summer Dance Camp event is a collaboration event between DanceDanceRevolution A20 and DANCERUSH STARDOM. From August 8th, 2019 to September 30th, 2019, stamps can be earned by playing either DanceDanceRevolution or DANCERUSH STARDOM. Three stamps are offered once per day, one for the game being played and two for the opposite game. By collecting a certain number of stamps for a specific game, songs will be unlocked for the respective game.

Ichika no BEMANI Touhyou Senbatsusen 2019

Ichika no BEMANI Touhyou Senbatsusen 2019 (いちかのBEMANI投票選抜戦2019) is a collaboration event between beatmania IIDX 26 Rootage, DanceDanceRevolution A20, DANCERUSH STARDOM, GITADORA EXCHAIN, jubeat festo, pop'n music peace, SOUND VOLTEX VIVID WAVE, and ノスタルジア Op.2. The event started on September 12th, 2019 and ended on October 14th, 2019.

The MANIFEST aspect of the event focuses on the total number of votes submitted by BEMANI players. Depending on the number of votes for a specific BEMANI game, certain bonuses will be acted upon in the future.

DDR SELECTION

The DDR SELECTION category retains the features introduced in DanceDanceRevolution A.

The DDR SELECTION category has sub-folders based on different eras of the game, as well as both EXTRA SAVIOR folders "DDR 20th Anniversary songs" and "DDR A x pop'n music peace 20th Anniversaries" for brand-new songs. When playing a song under this category (marked in gold instead of white (a default song), yellow (an unlocked song) or red (an EXTRA EXCLUSIVE song)), the UI will change to match that of one of the games released in that period, including videos based on its original background animations (except for 4 songs of DDR (1st) and 2ndMIX which use their X3 VS 2ndMIX videos) or EXTREME's random movies, DANGER animations, scoring changes (Can switch the scoring to SuperNOVA2 score or EX SCORE via operator's intervention), and background images or banners, if applicable.

Selecting any of two DDR 20th Anniversary songs folders or other category retain the original UI. All options if the user plays with DDR (1st) UI are forced to FLAT and CLASSIC. SCREEN FILTER and GUIDE LINE are disabled. Only SPEED, TURN, Assist and LIFE GAUGE options are changed by the user.

Grand finale

The DanceDanceRevolution 20th Anniversary Grand Finale event began on September 5, 2019 and will end on December 31, 2019. By accumulating certain total numbers of score points, CHALLENGE charts for the DanceDanceRevolution 20th Anniversary songs can be unlocked.

Release

20th Anniversary Edition (Gold)

Dance Dance Revolution A20 was released on golden cabinets on March 20, 2019 in Japan.[5] The release date was first confirmed by a flyer at a Japanese Round One Entertainment arcade on March 3, 2019. The flyer announced that the golden cabinets serve as a timed exclusive on these new cabinets, while upgrade kits released later. The game features revivals of classic licensed songs, NONSTOP and CLASS courses, and new Golden League events.[5] Legend Licenses, Golden League, and CLASS courses are available for golden cabinets only. New cabinets feature a 55" monitor at 1080p; however, the game operates at 720p.

On May 15, 2019, Dance Dance Revolution A20 was imported in the United States at Round One. It is currently running Japanese software, and it is unclear whether the region will be changed in the future.[6] On May 29, 2019, Round One confirmed that all of its American locations will receive A20 in the form of imported golden cabinets.[7] This initially introduced the game to 32 locations at the time of release, most of which also feature a localized version of Dance Dance Revolution A. While players are free to select their own location on e-Amusement, the imported A20 cabinets are registered to the Osaka Prefecture in Japan, rather than the player's state.[8]

Upgrade Kits (Blue)

On June 2, 2019, Dave & Buster's vice president Kevin Bachus confirmed that Dance Dance Revolution A20 is receiving a localized software build in North America, which can be installed on existing white cabinets in Canada and the USA. Bachus also announced that his company is considering the purchase of new cabinets.[9] Software upgrades were released to North America on September 24, 2019. The release is unique for being a physical hardware update, requiring an updated license key and USB flash drive installation to upgrade the game software.

Upgrade kits for older cabinets were released on July 24, 2019 in Japan and Asia, with the exception of Korea, which received a localized release on August 1, 2019.[10] The game operates at 720p on modern cabinets, and at 480p on legacy cabinets.

Music

Currently, there are 66 new songs of 875 total (870 total in the North American and European release). All songs that were unavailable in the North American and European releases of Dance Dance Revolution A, with the exception of 5 licenses due to licencing issues, were finally made available in the North American and European releases.

Songs marked in gold are exclusive for golden cabinets.
