Dance Dance Revolution Extreme [NTSC-J] [SLPM-65358]
Dance Dance Revolution Extreme (ダンスダンスレボリューションエクストリーム)is a music video game by Konami and is the eighth release in the main Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) series. It was released on December 25, 2002 for Japanese arcades, and on October 9, 2003, for the Japanese PlayStation 2. Despite its single-region release, its popularity caused the arcade release to be exported or pirated and placed in game rooms worldwide.
The arcade release of the game contains one of the largest soundtracks of any DDR game, featuring 240 songs, as well as music from other Bemani music titles. Konami issued an "in-game" thank you to the fans of Dance Dance Revolution and announced a rejuvenation of the entire series, but did not go into details. Konami's announcement led people to believe that DDR Extreme might be the final DDR release or that the series might be rebooted in the same manner as Beatmania and Beatmania IIDX. However, it continued to be released for video game consoles.
