DanceDanceRevolution A3 (AC)

If for no other reason, then so you don't have to keep searching through almost 200+ songs in just the A3 folder.

I still think they should have made a separate folder for the songs that first debuted in GRAND PRIX.

They're probably cooking a 25th anniversary edition as the next release or something. Maybe in a few weeks (or months) we'll get a new thing.

Anyone can now play the charts for ALGORTIHM and Blue Rain as of today

According to this tweet, SD cabinets will no longer be supported, while HD cabs (Black, White, and Gold) will still be supported.

This could possibly mean that HD cabinets might get hardware upgrades, hopefully 1080p display (at least) and 120hz refresh rate, just in time for a new mix and BPL S3. Let's see what happens.

Does anyone happen to know if SD cabs are still common in Japan? I feel like at this point they wouldn't be, but I can't really say.

And those of us still saddled with DnB's cabs as our only convenient access yet again just have to be like "damn bro that's crazy"

Given the previous posts on this page:

1. Personally, I haven't felt like A3 had overstayed its welcome, but I did think it has been quiet for a while aside from Baby-lon's Galaxy.
2. I forgot A3's folder has that many songs on its own, but then again I haven't paid for Grand Prix and don't intend to; I can wait. GP not having its own folder is surprising, though.
3. We will probably get new news in general after the current Golden League ends (March 27). BPL S2's draft was on March 24 of last year, so it's likely we'll hear about entry time for it soon if they want to keep it close to a yearly basis.

I swear if they call the next game A4...

---

That would honestly make for a sick logo design, so I'm hoping for A4

---

maybe DnB will get A4 before A3
given their track record the answer is probably neither LOL

9th Outburst ESP

GP does have its own folder, it has GP "exclusive" songs (there are a few licenses in there that debut in other games but aren't in A20 Plus or A3) and is only in GP not A20 Plus or A3. There is a misconception that the DLC song packs contain GP songs but they didn't. All the songs packs in GP get you access to arcade songs, so even in GP songs like B4U Acolyte remix will be in the A20 Plus folder, Megalara Garuda is in the A3 folder, and so on. You're paying for early access to arcade songs, not actual GP songs, which is why after a year of early access the songs will unlock for everyone on cabs but stay locked in GP. All the GP folder songs are included in the subscription. But considering how many songs are in the A3 folder and how many of them had early access through GP, Konami should have considered putting them all in the GP folder in the first place.

It's either A4 or Letter.

But really, I'm hoping for something fresh. The A games have run their course, and it's a good opportunity for the series to make another clean break. My pipe dream is for more convenience and quality of life features, more emphasis on Western artists contributing, and more permanent licenses. Colored freeze arrows are long overdue, but those would just get locked behind a subscription option if anything.

No Tears Left To Cry is being removed on the 25th

New song to be added March 13:
• DDR System Songs+Replicant Mix // BEMANI Sound Team

---

I guess the past times they've charted the system music with EDSM and Ace Out were popular enough that they're doing one for an older mix. Interesting, wonder if we'll get more of this.

---

Apparently the mashup was played during one of the BPL DJ sets last year.

---

is it just BGMs post-X2 era?
