About
Dance Dance Revolution, abbreviated DDR, and previously known as Dancing Stage in Europe and Australasia, is a music video game series produced by Konami. Introduced in Japan in 1998 as part of the Bemani series, and released in North America and Europe in 1999, Dance Dance Revolution is the pioneering series of the rhythm and dance genre in video games. Players stand on a "dance platform" or stage and hit colored arrows laid out in a cross with their feet to musical and visual cues. Players are judged by how well they time their dance to the patterns presented to them and are allowed to choose more music to play to if they receive a passing score. On July 27, 1999, Konami released the first "Dancing Stage" title of the Dance Dance Revolution series in Japan called Dancing Stage featuring True Kiss Destination. While the Dancing Stage moniker has been the alternative name for the Dance Dance Revolution series in the European region, a handful of DDR games in Japan also feature this title. The Dancing Stage games in Japan all deviate away from the main DDR series of games and in True Kiss Destination case it featured a themed set of music by the Japanese group of the same name as well as original music from Konami's in house artists.
