An American gamer is the Dance Dance Revolution world champ

Rhythm games may have passed their time here in the states, but Konami still holds its Konami Arcade Championships every year since 2011, where people compete to take home the top prize in a bunch of Konami’s arcade games. While they might be done with the likes of Metal Gear and Silent Hill, those arcade games – and the arcades they sit in – are still big business for the company.

And for the hardcore fans, those games still hold a lot of attention, with games like Dance Dance Revolution accompanied by games like beatmania IIDX, GuitarFreaks, pop’n music, and REFLEC BEAT that aren’t known in the mainstream but have steady, devoted audiences in their own right.

DDR might not pull in eyeballs the way League of Legends does, but it’s cool to see an American gamer coming out on top all the same.
