This Mini 'Dance Dance Revolution' Console Is Fully Playable
Celebrating the iconic Konami game’s 25th anniversary.
Zuiki has unveiled a mini Dance Dance Revolution console in celebration of the iconic Konami game’s 25th anniversary.
The Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini is a one-fifth scale replica of the original two-person arcade game and is fully playable — but only with fingers. The pad, which is originally meant for the player’s feet, can be placed flat on a table or on a person’s hand, while the start and menu navigation buttons can be found underneath the back railings. Rounds can be played via the console’s built-in LCD screen or on a larger external screen via HDMI. In addition, the unit will flash lights timed to the song being played and features stickers that give first-time players proper instructions, just like the real thing.
The Zuiki Dance Dance Revolution Classic Mini is currently in the crowdfunding process via Kibidango, and is priced at ¥43,780 JPY (approximately $300 USD). Pledges can be placed starting October 10 until November 27 and the consoles will begin shipping in Summer 2024.
Elsewhere in gaming, Nintendo is shutting down online services for the 3DS and Wii U.
