Pump it Up The Premiere: The International Dance Floor (R6/v4.01 - Feb 22 2001)

Arcade Video game published 23 years ago:

Pump It Up The Premiere: The International Dance Floor (c) 2001 Andamiro.

This version of the Pump It Up (PIU) series features 6 new songs, all of them covers of American Pop songs, from NSYNC to a-ha, and 81 old songs (in other words, almost all the previous songs, minus remixes). Several songs were renamed, so that they had English names – or, at the very least, romanizations.

The interface has been redesigned: the blue arrows still navigate through the songs, but only one song appears on screen, which is confirmed with the center button. The red arrows are used only for entering codes, which are a lot simpler (and thus easier to memorize), and there's a single code for speeding up arrows instead of separate codes for each velocity, making it more user-friendly.
