Dance Dance Revolution: Konamix ships for PSX gaming console.

Leading videogame publisher Konami of America, Inc., announced today that the eagerly anticipated Dance Dance Revolution™ KONAMIX™ for Sony PlayStation® has shipped to retail outlets nationwide. The dancing craze that began in arcades continues as Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX rocks America with over 50 songs, new play modes and a special workout mode.

The Dance Dance Revolution series brings the dance floor to the living room floor by being the first dancing game to mix fun, excitement, competition and choreography with a great workout. Dance Dance Revolution combines physical interactivity with high-energy dance music as players step into the spotlight to show off their stylish moves.

“Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX gets players of all ages up off the couch, dancing and laughing while burning calories,” said Jason Enos, Product Manager at Konami of America, Inc. “The DDR dancing sensation is sweeping the nation and players will be dazzled by the many new features in KONAMIX.”

Jam-packed with over 50 high-energy songs, fans can look forward to a multitude of dance music that has never before appeared in a U.S. home version of the game ~ until now. Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX also sports a completely new graphical interface and includes new gameplay modes. Now, in EDIT MODE, players can save and edit dance routines that can be traded with friends; SOLO MODE is a more challenging 1-player mode featuring 6 arrows; and NONSTOP ORDER allows players to create their own nonstop dance mixes. The WORKOUT MODE is back by popular demand in Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX but now features more robust options including the ability to track a workout program over weeks and/or months.

Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX utilizes a specially designed dance pad that accurately re-creates the arcade experience. Players simply connect the dance pad to the PlayStation® controller port and the fun begins.
