''Dance Dance Revolution'' has been released in many different countries on many different platforms. Originally released in Japan as an [[arcade game]] and then a [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]] game, which was a bestseller.<ref>[[Dengeki PlayStation]] sales chart, August 1999, published in [[Official UK PlayStation Magazine]] issue 48</ref> DDR was later released in North American, Europe, Korea, the whole of Asia, Australia, New Zealand, South America and Mexico on multiple platforms including the [[PlayStation 2]], [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]], [[Wii]], and many others. Due to demand, Japanese versions of the game, which are usually different from the games released in other countries, are often [[import]]ed or [[Copyright infringement|bootlegged]]. DDR fansites make an attempt to keep track of the locations of arcade machines throughout the major regions.

===Home releases===

DDR games have been released on various [[video game console]]s, including the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]], [[Dreamcast]], [[Nintendo 64]], [[PlayStation 2]], [[PlayStation 3]], [[GameCube]], [[Wii]], [[Xbox (console)|Xbox]] and [[Xbox 360]], and even [[personal computer|PCs]]. Home versions often contain new songs, songs from the arcade version, and additional features that take advantage of the capabilities of the console (e.g.; Xbox 360 versions such as the [[Dance Dance Revolution Universe]] series include support for online multiplayer and downloadable songs over [[Xbox Live]], and high definition graphics). DDR has even reached Nintendo's [[Game Boy Color]], with five versions of ''[[Dance Dance Revolution GB]]'' released in Japan; these included a series of three mainstream DDR games, a Disney Mix, and an Oha Star. The games come with a small thumb pad that fits over the Game Boy Color's controls to simulate the dance pad.

Home versions are commonly bundled with soft plastic [[dance pad]]s that are similar in appearance and function to the [[Nintendo]] [[Power Pad]]. Some third-party manufacturers produce hard metal pads at a higher price.

Three versions of DDR were also produced for the PC, and the 1st was released in North America. It uses the interface of ''[[Dance Dance Revolution 4thMix]]'', and contains around 40 songs from the first six mainstream arcade releases. It has not been as well received as the console versions.

A last PC version of DDR, called [[Dance Dance Revolution Grand Prix]], was also produced in Japan. It uses the interface of ''[[Dance Dance Revolution A20|Dance Dance Revolution A20 PLUS]]'', and contains 6 licences, 9 revival licences, and over 800 songs from all mainstream arcade releases.

DDR has also seen a number of mobile game releases on Apple [[iOS]] and [[Android (operating system)|Android]] platforms, including ''Dance Dance Revolution S''. It was announced alongside several other adaptations of Konami franchises to the iOS platform in January 2009. A free preview version was also released, ''Dance Dance Revolution S Lite'', which features one song and served as a preview for the final version and as a demo.<ref name="kotaku-ddrsannounce">{{cite web|url=http://kotaku.com/5136943/oh-yeah-silent-hill-and-ddr-are-on-the-iphone-now|title=Oh Yeah, Silent Hill And DDR Are On The iPhone Now|last=Fahey|first=Mike|date=January 22, 2009|publisher=Kotaku|access-date=2009-02-27}}</ref> The final version was released in the Japanese App Store on February 27, 2009.<ref name="bms-ddrs">{{cite web |url=http://www.bemanistyle.com/index.php/news/dance-dance-revolution-s-iphone-app-launches-in-japan-1258 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302092613/http://www.bemanistyle.com/index.php/news/dance-dance-revolution-s-iphone-app-launches-in-japan-1258 |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 2, 2009 |title=Dance Dance Revolution S iPhone App Launches in Japan |date=February 27, 2009 |publisher=Bemanistyle |access-date=2009-02-27}}</ref> ''Dance Dance Revolution S+'', a sequel with in-app song purchasing, was released the same year.
