The game is mainly available in Japan, later with an English-language version available to overseas regions including Taiwan and Hong Kong[1][2] and a simplified Chinese version for China.[3]
The Pink Plus version of the game was location tested in the United States at Dave & Buster's in Irvine, California in December 2016,[4] and was also tested at Round 1 in Puente Hills, California in January 2017.[5]
In a livestream on 10 July 2019,[6] Sega announced Maimai DX, a reworked version of the game which featured new, second-generation cabinets. This version subsequently generated several sequel games of its own.
After the phaseout of the older "classic" cabinets, many made their way to Europe and North America running the Finale version as offline-only builds.[7] In the US, several of these cabinets were installed at Round 1 locations in 2021.[citation needed] While in Europe, arcades like Arcade Club began to install them into their locations starting around 2020.[8]
