I was a member of a little DDR crew on the Ocean City NJ boardwalk from like 2005-2007. We called ourselves "OC Trinity" because it was started by the 3 best players on that boardwalk. We had little coins that we printed from Jilly's Arcade with our nicknames on them. I was Shadow X. We rolled up like 12 deep and would just take over the DDR and In the Groove (another great one) machines wherever they were in NJ. We would travel 2 hours just to beat some poor kid's high scores.

I wanna say another reason it failed. Repair costs. DDR was always the machine broken down out of all the others. These machines received constant abuse. And encountering a broken machine was terrible as a player. And expensive to fix for the owner

I know one arcade that is good at keeping their PiU machines maintained, but it probably helps that they have gambling machines in the 18+ area to make money off.

DDR is in a way making a resurgence in North America. Konami decided to release their latest arcade mix "DDR ACE" or "DDR A" in North America with full network connectivity (at Dave and Busters, and Round 1 Arcades). Scoreboards are now all linked world-wide. Not to mention for the first year America was eligible to enter Konami's Arcade Championship, basically the official DDR world tournament. Chris4Life, an American, won 1st place. Who knows in another year or two you might be making another video talking about the second coming of DDR in North America.

[@picketf]

Konami is only going to generate interest in future titles and brand if they decided to release e-Amusement worldwide. I imagine the only obstacle left is to figure out how to setup money laundering spots all over the globe to get the digital credits without paying local taxes.

Dance Dance Revolution was a cultural phenomenon during the late 90's and early 2000's, before social media was a thing. DDR fans all around used online forums to arrange meetings and even competitions. Huge communities of fans were formed in different places. In my country its almost impossible to find DDR machines.. there is a couple of PIU here or there but they are not nearly as fun as DDR, at least for me. I really miss those days, I met so many great people and made many friends.

[@PiroKUSS]

If social media was as prevalent as it is today, DDR would've been MASSIVE.

[@MeMM00]

PIU is better than ddr if you actually give it the chance

@@MeMM00 It can be really fun, but I think of them as 2 different things, both have their pros and cons, some techniques are harder on one or the other.

I found out later the machine used to be maintained by the state champ before he moved off somewhere else.

Ddr actually kickstarted back up in the arcades about a year and a half ago. Konami released their newest game, DDR A, in American Dave and Busters and Round 1s. There's a whole new generation of dancers faithfully taking the reins at the arcade, and I'm happy to be a part of it.

This was a very interesting video! While I personally have never played Dance Dance Revolution I do have fond memories in the early 2000s of me constantly seeing DDR machines in arcades movie theaters etc and watching people play them to the point of me asking myself "Man are these games even popular?"

[@section8in8minutes]

This story needed to be told🙌🙌

[@MeChrisLee]

Even though DDR has gone down a lot, the Pump It Up franchise seems to be bigger than it's ever been in 19 years. It may be harder to find machines in America compared to DDR because of Konami being a larger name than Andamiro, but if they are the newer cabinets they are not going to be run down not working cheap pieces of metal like so many random bowling alley DDR machines. The current 2017/2018 Prime 2 edition is the most beautiful version yet and the machines gets patch updates every month or so adding more songs and charts to existing songs. It's a great game for fans wanting to continue this line of games with a more modern feel.

[@notdon245]

MeChrisLee Uh hello, DDR A was released 2 years ago

[@scorpion2.411]

I've played both DDR and pump it up and I'll have to stay with pump it up because it's more physically exerting due to the pads being more wide apart and because the maps always make an alternation of the feet. PIU may not be popular on the USA (and maybe europe neither?) but in latin america Pump it up is much much easier to find than DDR

[@404waffles]

plus, DDR A needs a konami connection + they have a minimum order amount for cabinets

[@ahmadOrlando39]

Pump It Up is awesome. It's way better than DDR and offers so much more.

do it now, after work or after school, just head to an arcade that no one except for you will be in, and dance it up

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

@@zebrom7994 Honestly though, unless you are good you won't have fun paying 50 cents to a dollar per game that you fail at. It is much better to buy a dance pad and practice on that before going to the arcade.
