Overview

Dance Dance Revolution A3 (pronounced Ace Three) is the 18th installment of the Dance Dance Revolution arcade series in Japan, and the sequel to Dance Dance Revolution A20 Plus. The game was released as an update on golden cabinets in Japan on March 17, 2022, including those imported in the United States. An upgrade for older cabinets was released in Asia (including Japan, South Korea, and several other countries), Australasia, and the United States (Hawaii only) on June 22, 2022. This version now has the ability for players to switch between Single and Double gameplay styles on the same credit, done by pressing 3 on the numeric keypad. Additionally, the "Premium Play" feature for 20th anniversary cabinets, once limited to users of the PASELI digital currency service in Japan, is now available in the United States. Due to style switches, the selected play style is now indicated on the MUSIC SELECT and TOTAL RESULT screens. Additionally, all 4-song courses prior to DDR A20 PLUS have been removed. Dance Dance Revolution A3 featured 10 new songs at launch, for a total of 1,009. As of November 2022, an additional 86 songs were added to the game and 7 Japanese licenses were removed, bringing the song total to 1,088. On May 19, 2022, "Megalovania" by Toby Fox was added to the game. The song, which originates from the 2015 video game Undertale, has since been featured in several video games, including Gitadora High-Voltage by Konami on August 10, 2022, and StepManiaX by Step Revolution on December 20, 2020.
