Dance Dance Revolution (2013 video game)

[2] A limited test release occurred at select locations in the United States, beginning on August 4, 2015.

The mode is essentially the same as Versus Play, except that the game rewards the two players that hit arrows on both pads at the same time with "Synchro-Bonus" points.

The song selection is brought downward and the left and right sides of the song's jacket store five tabs, containing difficulty selection, groove radar, scores, Yuniver Hills unlocks and Boss-On-Parade medals (or Replicant-D-Ignition Nitros).

In addition to delivering updated content and allowing players to save scores and other data, this system enables Konami to take a cut of the credits entered into each machine.

Using the PASELI also benefits the players, among them options to enable certain features that otherwise are not accessible to non-premium users.

For connected e-Amuse machines outside of the Japan territory, the PASELI service is replaced with "Premium Mode".

This allows players to access special gameplay events and features normally blocked behind the PASELI paywall.

PREMIUM MODE can be accessed by adding more credits (set by the arcade operator) during the start of a game session.

To celebrate the birthday of the game's sound director, Yasuhiro Taguchi (better known as TAG), three new Extra Stage songs were added on March 25, 2014.

This time, instead of fulfilling a different set of objectives, players simply had to fill song meters (represented by tubes) which were presented at the end of a game credit.

One could choose to pick one out of 5 nitro tubes (and thus five songs) to fill; once it is full, players gained access to the D-Ignition folder during Extra Stage, which had a different interface and system music.

By scoring AA or higher on Expert in one of the five songs, players would earn a colored orb.

If players managed to score AA or higher in EGOISM 440 on Expert, they could access the Encore Extra Stage, MAX.
