DDR or Simiar Game? (sh.itjust.works)

Anyone have any recommendations for a game that's like Dance Dance Revolution? My wife really liked that game back in the day and I am looking to get her it or something like it as a gift.

We have a PS5 and Xbox One S. We also have a Switch that I could get a dock hooked up to the TV, but she usually uses it in handheld mode. If there's not really any options for those systems we also have some older systems in storage while we finish some construction that I could dig out (most systems dating back to SNES).

I'd say it's a fair recommendation since I wasn't super clear in my original post. But you're right. She would like a more rhythm based game and something that would help her be more active at the same time.

I think Stepmania has the best recommendations here if you want to bring back the DDR feel. I don't know how compatibility is for consoles, but hopefully someone makes a decent pad that works with the consoles you have (assuming hooking up a PC isn't something you're interested in).

Or you could explore other games that have a similar feel. For example, Ring Fit for Switch is interesting since it has that physical aspect, but it's even less like DDR than Just Dance.

Anyway, here are some games you can look into (I mentioned it elsewhere, but I'll repeat it here):

  • rhythm - Stepmania, Crypt of the Necrodancer, games with rhythm minigames (e.g. Yakuza games), Guitar Hero (Xbox One)
  • "get active" games - Ring Fit (Switch), Just Dance, Kinect Sports, maybe PlayStation Move controller?

Figure out why she liked DDR so you can pick something from the appropriate set of games.
