While the PlayStation 2 version came out in North America, the arcade version was exclusive to Japan.

The arcade release of the game contains one of the largest soundtracks of any DDR game, featuring 240 songs, as well as music from other Bemani music titles. Konami issued an in-game thank you to the fans of Dance Dance Revolution and announced a rejuvenation of the entire series, but did not go into details. Konami's announcement led people to believe that DDR Extreme might be the final DDR release or that the series might be on hiatus or rebooted in the same manner as Beatmania and Beatmania IIDX.

Until now, there has been a version that emphasizes the concept of HAPPY and EUPHORIC image along with the trend of dance music, but in this concept, the exaltation of the image that stands out even more, and players can participate in one large music festival through beatmania IIDX. We are sending you images that allow you to experience a sense of elation. We asked the composers who participated this time to create bright and exciting images overall, and requested them to be produced in various forms by incorporating the styles that each individual is good at. While putting an easy-to-understand concept at the forefront, we are compiling music pieces that image various types of high tension, such as the vitality of a leap, anticipation of an upcoming show, the feeling of a powerful rush, etc. . (Because I think there are times when you don't feel that way, I'm also preparing cool, "crush" songs that are typical of IIDX!) In addition, this time, we have lined up a number of popular songs that match the concept of beatmania IIDX and are fun to listen to and play. Then feel the tension of beatmania IIDX 32 Pinky Crush.
