Development
Development on X3 began shortly after X2 was released. From June 8 to June 10, 2011, a location test was held in Akihabara, Tokyo. This location test revealed new songs and other features. These features include the new Target Score and BEMANI folders. The menu screens also got an update; they are now blue instead of green. Other enhancements to the theme were also made, such as the animation of the background (these animations are very similar to the one used on Dance Dance Revolution II). Konami also announced that there will be a new 2ndMIX mode, where the player can play a full HD version of DDR 2ndMIX.
Features
- 2ndMIX mode. The player will be able to play a full HD version of "DanceDanceRevolution 2ndMIX", including all licenses from the game. New features will be added on the mode, such as the e-AMUSEMENT capabilities.
- Target Score, which allows players to view machine and e-Amusement records without playing the song.
- "BEMANI Title" sort, which allows songs to be sorted by the BEMANI title they originally appeared in.
- DRILL COURSE have been removed
Extra Stage
DDR X3 also implements a new system for accessing Extra Stage. "Star system" can now be used to access Extra Stage. When the player clear a song, they will get stars (shown below the grade) depending on what grade they get:- AAA grade = 3 stars
- AA grade= 2 stars
- A-D grade = 1 star
- E grade (Failed) = -
- Getting a full combo = (n)star+1
Encore Extra Stage
The requirement for accessing Encore Extra Stage is the same from DDR X2; scoring AA or better under Expert on the specific song during Extra Stage. Scoring AA or better on Amalgamation will unlock UNBELIEVABLE (Sparky remix). As of January 25, 2012, successfully unlocking UNBELIEVABLE (Sparky remix) on Extra Stage and scoring AA on that song unlocks NEPHILIM DELTA on Encore Extra Stage. Like DDR X2, these songs are the sole choice for Encore Extra Stage and only available on Expert difficulty.Internet Ranking
The game will have Internet Ranking like previous games. As usual, it uses the courses available in the game. The game uses e-Amusement to upload the scores to network. Currently, there are two Internet Rankings, one of which is underway :- INTERNET RANKING#1 = February 8, 2012 - February 22, 2012 ~ uses HYPER and vs X3
- INTERNET RANKING#2 = February 29, 2012 - March 14, 2012 ~ uses VOCAL and UPPER
Daily Special
On AOU 2012, Konami announced a new event called "Daily Special" that will start on February 20, 2012. In this event, a new BEMANI crossover will be available on each day of the week (from Monday to Friday). The cycle of the song unlocking will be done on 12.00 P.M. (JP UTC) and requires e-Amusement. The songs are :- Monday = SigSig
- Tuesday = message
- Wednesday = 天上の星 ～黎明記～ (Tenjou no Hoshi ~Reimeiki~)
- Thursday = 繚乱ヒットチャート (Ryouran Hit Chart)
- Friday = 雫 (Shizuku)
APPEND TRAVEL
DDR X3 is one of the BEMANI games that will hold the new APPEND TRAVEL event to promote jubeat copious APPEND. Currently, the event is scheduled to start on March 14, 2012. Players can collect APPEND ENERGY and buy items from e-Amusement GATE, some of which can alter aspects of the game. Those are :- Song - TWINNKLE♥HEART
- Accessory - Jubeat Mask
- Item - Enjoy Full Stage (will be able to pass the stage even if the dance meter is empty)
- Item - Enjoy Level Booster (leveling up Enjoy Level becomes much easier)
