Previously it was believed that the new DDR Universal models would only be sold in NA and EU but over the weekend @‌IGN_korea posted this pic of a Uni. IGN KR posted exclusive scoops from manufacturer Uniana before, is this teasing that this cab will be sold in Asian markets? #DDR
Elsewhere, h/t @‌arcadeheroes for finding this post from 3 weeks ago we missed- Enterium in Chicago showed off on Insta they received a #DANCERUSH_STARDOM cab. This unit is offline but it's not known if this is for loctest purposes or if this will be an option for operators in NA.
Also reported by @‌arcadeheroes , EU distro UDC brought with them a Dance³ Show cab to EAG. Surprising since manufacturer Arcer had a big coming out at IAPPA and yet did not bring a Dance³ Show themselves. Does this mean EU sales are imminent? arcadeheroes.com/2026/01/21/e...
One last @‌arcadeheroes h/t, PenlaLive is back on loctest in Yokohama, as reported by @‌ariesukobeya. Some minor tweaks from its October loctest like more minute scroll rate options and an "extra" encore stage added if you do well.
As a shameless plug, I (🍱) want YOU to register for CEO Aug. 14-16th in Orlando, FL Project Storm returns for the 6th time @ CEO feat tourneys for DDR Extreme Pro, PIU, ITGmania, and SMX STORM-ONLY COMPETITORS CAN BUY SPECTATOR BADGE TIL FEB 28TH project-storm.com for rulesets
