Fans of the iconic rhythm game Dance Dance Revolution have a reason to dance with the reveal of full details on the cute mini arcade cabinet.
The official 25 anniversary of Dance Dance Revolution threatened to pass by completely unremarked until ZUIKI announced it was working on a DDR project. The details of this are now known to be a miniature version of the retro Dance Dance Revolution arcade cabinet.
The cabinet is only planned for a Japanese release, but Time Extension has uncovered many of the details regarding what can be expected from this miniature arcade cabinet.
Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini: Features
The Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini will be a 1/5 scale replica of the original DDR arcade machine. Those who buy one of these tiny cabinets will be able to play using the built-in monitor, or connect it to a television or monitor using a HDMI cable.
Owners of the Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini will be able to choose from a range of control types, such as the ‘finger pads’ included with the mini cabinet, or a full-scale dance mat. It can even support two players for that old-school competitive experience.
Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini: Song list
The song library includes 35 tracks in total. This not only includes tracks from the original Dance Dance Revolution arcade machine, but also music from both Dance Dance Revolution 2nd Mix and 3rd Mix. Some licensed music has also been added, such as Tubthumping by Chumbawumba.

Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini: release date
The Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini will go on general sale on September 27, 2024.
Initially, the game was only made available to those who funded the project via the Japanese crowdfunding website Kibidango. Orders for those backers are expected to begin distribution in August 2024. However, ZUIKI is planning on opening the device up for general sale shortly afterward. This will likely be the only opportunity fans in the West have to own the Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini.
Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini: price
The Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini will be priced at 49,500 Yen, the equivalent of roughly $316. Pre-orders are already available on the ZUIKI online store.
