One of the highlights on Electrocoin’s stand at EAG was their ‘mystery new launch’, Konami’s latest dance game, Dance Dance Revolution A20 Plus (DDRA20 Plus).
Said to be “the undisputed king of dance games”, the DDRA20 Plus features a brand new user-friendly interface, 600 song catalogue, enlarged 42” screen and a selection of official music videos.
“We are very excited as it has taken a couple years to secure this production due to the popularity,” said Electrocoin’s Sales and Marketing Manager, John A Stergides. “Konami are known for a very high standard when it comes to the standard and quality of their games.
“It’s a product that can last for years, as we still provide support for the DDR’s built 20+ years ago.”
As well as gameplay videos and a range of previous DDR catalogues, the A20 Plus features official music video footage for a number of songs, including No Tears Left To Cry by Ariana Grande and Nothing but the Beat by David Guetta.
The DDRA20 was officially launched in Japan, and has since proved extremely popular, with Electrocoin adding “due to the popularity worldwide and the high standard build quality, we have been allocated a limited quantity for 2024.”
Their well-presented stand at the show also featured key products such as their 2023 launches Rocket Launch and Magic 7 Key, along with Skill Shooter and Mr Do Air Balls among other games. Also proving very popular on the stand were the Stern pinball machines, including new machine Jaws on its European launch.
John A Stergides said he was pleased with how the new launches were received at the show and with the show overall. The later dates (the show was put back by a week in response to exhibitor suggestions last year) were helpful in attracting visitors, he believed.
Post-show, Electrocoin were busy preparing for ICE in early February, followed by the Irish Gaming Show in Dublin in March.
