Dance Dance Revolution Extreme (PlayStation 2, Japan)

Dance Dance Revolution Extreme
Developer: Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo Publisher: Konami Platform: PlayStation 2 Released in JP: October 9, 2003 This game has unused areas. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused music. This game has debugging material.

A direct port of the arcade version, unlike the radically-different "port" released in the West a year after this one. It also boasts of having one of the largest set of songs in any DDR console ports; a whopping 111 of them, to be precise, and even more so if you utilize System Data Support to unlock the songs from both 6thMix and 7thMix.

The question is, of course, "Why do you need KONAMI ORIGINAL songs?"

Unused Step Charts

Some songs have incomplete Oni charts that can be accessed if the song's songwheel data definition is modified to include an Oni difficulty/foot rating. Songs that include such charts include LOVE❤SHINE and Last Message.

A graphic leftovered from the arcade release, in which are displayed edits saved in the machine's flash memory.

Another leftover from the arcade release, showcasing many icons relating to memory card functionalities.

Diet Courses

Based on these graphics, it is very likely diet mode-specific courses were meant to appear in this game. However, such a functionality does not appear.

These images are reminiscent of a screen showcasing current unlocks in the original arcade release.
