the reason just dance has still been releasing for the Wii isnt really that bizarre i think i read the main reason is for nursing homes, since the Wii provided a fun and easy way for the elderly to be active.
I love that reason. I really appreciate that they released so many games for the Wii even as the console was left behind. I don't have a Nintendo console any newer than the Wii, and I also love and cherish the vibes of the Wii.
also for children’s hospitals! wii’s are still easily accessible by children’s hospitals and elderly facilities, so ubisoft kept releasing games up until 2020 to accomodate them!!
It was that reason...but now they've decided to quit with the newest edition for a business model of forced buying of songs and changing songs so you don't *OWN* it anymore unless you play online. :( THankfully you can always buy the other versions but still lame af
@skiiminette6725 Personally, I wouldn't recommend the Game Theory video as it consists of many inaccuracies. However, Little Siha is a good option(if not the best) to update yourself in the lore.
I feel like they made this just for people to say this because it doesn't really add to the game, only subtracts from it by having songs with unskippable baked-in cutscenes and tons of reused costumes and backgrounds :/ And the lore isn't even good
the dedication in this video is INSANE!!! in a great way, i love it, so much. as someone who’s been in the jd community for quite a bit it brings back plenty of memories and for those that aren’t. this is a great introduction video to the series if you wanna know everything going on.
fun fact about Rappers delight, it isn't clay animation, it's CGI like girl like me, stay, chandelier and heat waves, the studio found a form to imitate classic clay animation
@@TheEduardoSA yeah, let me clear what i was traing to say,: -Girl like me, Stay and Bangarang are danced by real dancers with motion capture. -Chandelier, Heat Waves and Rappers Delight are 100% made with CGI models and animated to make the dance. -In the Dina video with the director of Just dance, for the release of JD2024 he says that fact about Rappers Delight
@@vectorR2D2 yes, I Know, but I only speaker about STAY, and only STAY, Due to the dancer's movements, and the camera effect at the beginning and end of STAY, you can see that it is a person recorded on green screen, and that only the mask is CGI, It's not like Ugly Beauty ALT where the dancer is CGI although it seems like she is a real person recorded on green screen
@@vectorR2D2 also Chandelier Is Motion Capture, There is a BTS video where you can see the dancer doing the dance with the motion capture suit, in the same one where Girl Like Me appears
@@thechefsalad5169 The Wii U is region locked so you'll need either a Japanese console or a modded one. But it's a dancing game so at least you won't need to read (much)
I think the only thing that has gone downhill is the UI, at least on the Wii. JD 2016, 2017, and 2018 have incredibly long loading times in comparison to 4 and 2014. (Perhaps this is just my console? It's not an issue with other games, though, so I think not.) The background and general UI are nearly the same across all three games besides some color changes, and they all share the same sound effects and songs. I'd love it if they differentiated each other a bit. 2016 and 2017 are basically the same game to me due to the similarity. Edit: menu songs, not dance songs
Well as Just Dance player I can tell you... It depends what is the worst and what is the biggest or what even how the saga is getting better... Cause JD 2014 is still the best game of the main games and JD 2015 and JD 2018 are the worst... Even JD 2023 Edition is something that it can considered good or bad depending on what factor or which area you want to discuss.
I was very nervous while watching this one because I was scared that the review of 2023 and 2024 would be very negative - it’s an insanely common sentiment (that I heavily disagree with). I’m so happy to see you liked them! I sadly can’t play them myself outside of RUclips because I only own a Wii, but whenever I dance them from RUclips they’re super fun to do, and the graphics have improved so much!
It is mostly because of how buggy the recent games have been, with it being a new engine. It also has to do with how it didn’t have many modes or content that were present in the previous games (World Dance Floor, Sweat Mode, Lack of songs in JD+ on launch day for JD2023) Tho I will admit that I love the recent jd games and love the production of all the maps, even the joke maps
I thought people universally liked them because they improved the choreography. JD used to have repetitive moves each year but they stepped it up and made it less kid-dy
@@Greybell ironically the dances “not feeling like real dances anymore, just moves” is one of the biggest criticisms I see. I agree with you though, I think the newer choreos are way better. There’s some gems in the older games and they’re still fun, but 2023 and 2024 have just been banger after banger
The community believes that 2023 and 2024 are the worst because Ubisoft did not make an effort to improve what we already had before. The profiles, the menu, the dances and so on are very nice, but everything seems like special effects when see the experience. Do you know how much they talk about good dances, game modes, base and seasonal content, bug fixes, online connection, good story, optimization of the game itself and more from their gay basic culture memes and posts? Mostly of them more intresting than THE GAME.
Not me at 10yrs unlocking everything in just dance 3 by myself with the power of god (+ I bought a switch just to continue playing the recent ones, I Know Every Map)
This video is so well made and detailed! Besides some small errors, you really covered the jd games nicely, it's cool to see someone talk about them with this much care!
I’ve been a fan of JD since JD2018 and it is wild seeing how JD has always been constantly improving, even it’s by a little bit with each game. (JD 2018 has my favorite ui but I still agree with the song list being a little lackluster) It is quite refreshing to see how it’s like for a player who isn’t really in the JD community, especially with the recent JD games and it just seems so interesting to see how the Just Dance franchise is like from someone who wasn’t really following the games in real time. I know the recent ones get a lot of criticism from the community but I just can’t help but love the recent ones, including some of the alternatives. (Cure For Me paper alt ily) They really made the story and lore for the recent JD games so good, especially since it was done by one person at the time. It fr makes me happy to see that JD still has that charm that the older games had on several JD players.
Hearing your soul leave your body every time a Kids game showed up had me rolling. 😂 This was a great video!! Cosy, silly, nicely edited - perfect kinda content to zone out to whilst working. 💖
Fun fact about JD2023E: the 2023 version for toxic (the one at 1:28:36) was created by the JD team with the help of a famous JD content creator from France known as TheFairyDina. She, of course, is a fan of JD and a huge fan of Britney Spears. When the JD team asked for her help she was very excited and eager to do it. She even makes a cameo appearance in the background around where you enter the first class of the plane (the one around 1:29:08 where she will be seen in a hot tub). This is also why the coach is known as ”Agent D” simply because the “D” in the name stands for “Dina” Thought that would be something nice to bring up
I began to cry after realizing that this is a video about Just Dance with background music with some tracks from Rhythm Heaven. Two my favorite videogame series ahhh thank you😭
NOOOOO I WAS PLANNING INTO MAKING MY OWN NICHE JUST DANCE ESSAY VIDEO, HOW DARE YOU Aside from that I love the video! I would love if you made another video abt the beta/songs that didnt make into the game, like all i want for christmas is you (which had a whole hunt tied into it), but overall i was waiting for years to somebody to mention this series and get the recognition it deserves!!!!!! Sadly most people over the years think the faces are weird (when they were in old games?) and just dont want to like it.
holy cow. a just dance video that is getting recommended to me and has rising traction in views.that's really awesome lmao. shoutout to just dance for putting me on to you make me feel (mighty real) and smalltown boys
Thank you so much for taking all of that time and effort to dive into (even the Japanese series!!!) our beloved franchise 🥹 Just Dance content has all of my heart
Just Dance Unlimited is removing tons of songs August 1st when the license expires. I think they've already been removed from Just Dance Now. ALSO, as of July 1st 2024, Playstation and Xbox users won't even be able to purchase Just Dance Unlimited anymore. So, if you don't have it downloaded for your 2019-2022 versions, do that now! Notable songs going away: Bailando, Barbie Girl, Boombayah, Can't Stop the Feeling, Cotton Eye Joe, Die Young, Forget You, Gangnam Style, Happy, I Don't Feel Like Dancin, Lay All Your Love on Me, Levitating, Love Story, Mamma Mia, Montero, Old Town Road, Starships, ,Super Bass, Taki Taki, Tik Tok, Uptown Funk, and Womanizer. That's just a list of my favorites that are going away, they are removing around TWO HUNDRED SONGS. Some of these songs are literally on the cover art for JD2022, so that I don't understand lmao. I really hate this era of game companies being able to take away things you already paid for.
Dude, you will not believe how much this video has been shoved in my face for the past week on y recommended page. And you sure did not disappoint lmao
35:11 What makes the Grease inspired Story Mode better is that ABBA did compete with Olivia Newton John, who played Sandy in the original movie, at Eurovision, and then 4 years later, both of them performed together in a TV Special on ABC.

single ladies background is a ref to the mv too! its in black and white and switches btw a dimly lit room and a completely white background. loved the refs to the dance too
11:03 This video made me realize that our family's version of Just Dance 2 was the Best Buy version, since I definitely remember the Funkytown visuals here.
I’ve played all the mainline entries before 2019, and loved this retrospective. D.A.N.C.E and Move Your Feet are two of my favs, too! So much nostalgia! It’s clear you’ve put lots of effort into this super high quality video, great work! While I do still love the songs in 2015 I respect that different Opinion LOL
Just Dance 2015 is not perfect, in fact it's not even on my top 3 but my god I can't believe out of all things to criticize it for you chose the backgrounds. I think they're pretty good if not one of the best eras for the franchise in terms of backgrounds. Voids can work if they're distinct enough from each other, which I think they are. Even Just Dance 2014 had a few with don't you worry child, wild or we can't stop, feel this moment, among others. Also a lot of the voids are 3d which really help at selling the depth, which other games really fail at doing. -Diamonds I think is gorgeous, the glistening rainbow effects that the background and coach produce is insanely beautiful -Addicted to you wouldn't have worked in any other way other than that sultry glittery void imo, where the light follows the coach in a delicate and enchanting manner, almost like it's an extension of the coach, like wings. The void makes the grand moves feel more appropiate as the space is big enough to acommodate it. -Black widow follows the spider theme to a T, I love how the coach interacts with the webs as she moves. Camera work is flawless -Built for this has this psychydelic 80's feel that's combined with the 2010's neon craze which I think looks nice. -I love it isn't even a void(? Idk why that was included in there, yeah it's kind of abstract but I think that goes with the lowkey alien look they tried to give to the coach. Also really good camera work A song where I'm absolutely trashing the devs is you're on my mind, which is literally a mashup only song. As a kid I thought that gimmick was fine but looking back it would've been so cool to get an actual MAP. As for the songlist, I thought it was pretty nice! Only thing is I wish there was more pop songs instead of the overload of goofy songs like xmas tree or speedy gonzalez, now THOSE are rotted. What I think Just Dance 2015 biggest weakness is is it's lack of game modes compared to JD 2014 or 4
you used oomf's video at 1:49:03 lmaooooo also it's actually incredible how you got lots of things right! not even the jd wii (which is very active) doesn't have that obscure gym game. i also feel like talking about the scrapped content could also make an amazing video but ubisoft is always on the eye for those so it'd be really risky.
as a just dance fan i'm glad you looked so thoroughly into this series' dedication cuz most ppl just turn a blind eye 😭 i love everything about this video but i especially love the rock lobster cosplay at 38:08 and the awesome thumbnail artwork omg... also the rhythm heaven, persona, kirby, AA, FNAF, and yakuza music choices were phenomenal LOL
57:02 It's not by Hatsune Miku, she doesn't make the songs because, she's just a virtual voice. Also, it's only a cover, the song itself was made in 1928 long before Miku became a thing, and was written by Eini Kettunen to a traditional polka tune. Miku was tuned in the 2007 cover by Otomania ^^
I always thought Just Dance wasn’t anything special and just a casual yet harmless game series. But theres lore in the later games and effort in some of them too? I had no idea how visually stunning the backgrounds are and theres a lot of love and care put into them. I just thought these would be the Fifa of rhythm games where it would be the same copy and paste stuff every time. But once again I'm proven wrong and theres always more to them than just another casual party game.
That it's just, AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg i'm so impressed with all the effort you've put into this video, like, actually playing all the games (and most of the songs, if not all of them)... Dude, simply no words for ya... Loved it!
I'm glad I watched this, I was a bit salty about some changes they made (specifically the way they went about dlc) and I wrote off so many of these games. But this retrospective made me see the dedication they took for each game and the upgrades. I will be trying the new games more fairly and I have a new appreciation of this series. I loved it early on glad to bring it back.
one quick note on jd15, sweat mode did also allow to activate the cal counter while playing the game as usual (like in jd14) as well as having the playlists so its more of an addition to the mode instead of changing it completely
the animations look so good, love the fact that the series keeps getting better, makes me want to pick up just dance again. super fun video! love the miku cosplay
I love seeing people so passionate about a series that they make a whole video on it! I appreciate it as a fan of the series. 💛 I've never played myself, but I like watching videos of the songs. 😅
53:02 *10 u forgot Let It Go and Papaoutai have alternates Also, Just Dance 2015 did have 4 scrapped alternates (for Dark Horse, Built For This, Neon Lights, which is a song that was cut from the game, and You're On My Mind) and was confirmed to have On Stage Mode PLANNED to return
I’m 2:10 into this video and he called surfing bird horrible I hate you I’m taking this so personal man I can’t believe you this may forever change the landscape
this video is great, ive grown up with just dance and seeing you review 2024 made me realize how much im missing out on .. i think buying passes is uhm. a lot but i am seriously considering getting into just dance seriously again- regardless if i buy it or attempt to find it some other way this is a really good video and im glad someone out their appreciates just dance like you do, like last year i was blown away to find out just dance songs were connecting (ie save your tears and the wedding ) so much work going into this and i hope more people realize it ( we love you EA 🥺🥺)
you don't buy the seasons individually, it's just the one just dance plus subscription ($4/month or $25/yr and i think you can do a month free trial first.) 2024 is on sale for $24 on switch right now, i started there and and have been playing pretty regularly since november.
@@wsmith2401 24 a year is actually pretty good .. esp since alot of my recent favorites dances are from newer editions and i always wondered where all the profiles other than the little classic pfps came from .. thank you !!
WOW incredible video!!! I genuinely expected this series to go to shit but im beyond pleasantly surprised!!! 💖The visuals and STORY?? i never expected LORE from Just Dance of all games. You put a lot of work into this! And i love the thumbnail art!!!
NEON WHITE AND RIDGE RACER TYPE 4 OST MENTIONED RAHHHHHHH jokes aside this video was excellent! was wondering how anyone could possibly get nearly two hours out of talking about just dance but hey you did it and I enjoyed every second!
yooo, the bep experience and hip hop dance experience on 360 are actually really good and waaaay better than the wii version 🥺🥺 the bep one is miles apart, and despite tracking problems and some annoying repeating moves is a very unique spin off the hip hop one have the same visuals, but in hd, but the tracking is waaaayyyy better than it was on bep experience, also, the 360 version have harder choreos, some of the harder ones in the entire franchise!! also, make it jingle for me is that type of thing that it's so bad and absurd that makes it gold, I swear, for weeks I couldn't get that fat ass twerk off my mind lol also, thank you so much for the video!! so great to see a genuine review of the franchise, especially coming from someone new to the games, you did an amazing job and it shows!!
Really great video! Its longform and goes into great detail about a series i legitimately played alot with my sisters while growing up on the wii. I truely hope the youtube algorithm blesses you.
i came for the just dance analysis, i stayed for the music video at the end
HALLO IM A BIG FAN 😆😆😆

i can't believe there's just dance lore

You're late but it's okay. The lore was released almost a year ago, you can check out littlesiha's video about it or matpat's video

That’s what happens when you pioneer a technology or game genre or smth
Could you hack the game to give perfect scores?

Just Dance Unlimited is removing tons of songs August 1st when the license expires. I think they've already been removed from Just Dance Now.
ALSO, as of July 1st 2024, Playstation and Xbox users won't even be able to purchase Just Dance Unlimited anymore. So, if you don't have it downloaded for your 2019-2022 versions, do that now!
Notable songs going away: Bailando, Barbie Girl, Boombayah, Can't Stop the Feeling, Cotton Eye Joe, Die Young, Forget You, Gangnam Style, Happy, I Don't Feel Like Dancin, Lay All Your Love on Me, Levitating, Love Story, Mamma Mia, Montero, Old Town Road, Starships, ,Super Bass, Taki Taki, Tik Tok, Uptown Funk, and Womanizer. That's just a list of my favorites that are going away, they are removing around TWO HUNDRED SONGS.
Some of these songs are literally on the cover art for JD2022, so that I don't understand lmao.
I really hate this era of game companies being able to take away things you already paid for.
Hopefully they'll work on adding them to JD+
just dance 2021 being on par with 4 in terms of quality is crazy 😭
just mark and no comments? HUH?
this is so real i was very shocked when he praised jd2021 so much cause like. Majority of the fandom hates that one 😭😭
@@agkawaii9267 tbh i like jd2021, it has some pretty great songs lol
WHAT THE HELL WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE
@@AntTheBloxxerI agree it's so great
Dude, you will not believe how much this video has been shoved in my face for the past week on y recommended page. And you sure did not disappoint lmao
35:11 What makes the Grease inspired Story Mode better is that ABBA did compete with Olivia Newton John, who played Sandy in the original movie, at Eurovision, and then 4 years later, both of them performed together in a TV Special on ABC.

single ladies background is a ref to the mv too! its in black and white and switches btw a dimly lit room and a completely white background. loved the refs to the dance too
11:03 This video made me realize that our family's version of Just Dance 2 was the Best Buy version, since I definitely remember the Funkytown visuals here.

I’ve played all the mainline entries before 2019, and loved this retrospective. D.A.N.C.E and Move Your Feet are two of my favs, too! So much nostalgia! It’s clear you’ve put lots of effort into this super high quality video, great work! While I do still love the songs in 2015 I respect that different
Opinion LOL
this came in my recommended and you got me with the intro 😂you should do more videos like this
I LOVE JUST DANCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Just Dance 2015 is not perfect, in fact it's not even on my top 3 but my god I can't believe out of all things to criticize it for you chose the backgrounds. I think they're pretty good if not one of the best eras for the franchise in terms of backgrounds. Voids can work if they're distinct enough from each other, which I think they are. Even Just Dance 2014 had a few with don't you worry child, wild or we can't stop, feel this moment, among others. Also a lot of the voids are 3d which really help at selling the depth, which other games really fail at doing.
-Diamonds I think is gorgeous, the glistening rainbow effects that the background and coach produce is insanely beautiful
-Addicted to you wouldn't have worked in any other way other than that sultry glittery void imo, where the light follows the coach in a delicate and enchanting manner, almost like it's an extension of the coach, like wings. The void makes the grand moves feel more appropiate as the space is big enough to acommodate it.
-Black widow follows the spider theme to a T, I love how the coach interacts with the webs as she moves. Camera work is flawless
-Built for this has this psychydelic 80's feel that's combined with the 2010's neon craze which I think looks nice.
-I love it isn't even a void(? Idk why that was included in there, yeah it's kind of abstract but I think that goes with the lowkey alien look they tried to give to the coach. Also really good camera work
A song where I'm absolutely trashing the devs is you're on my mind, which is literally a mashup only song. As a kid I thought that gimmick was fine but looking back it would've been so cool to get an actual MAP. As for the songlist, I thought it was pretty nice! Only thing is I wish there was more pop songs instead of the overload of goofy songs like xmas tree or speedy gonzalez, now THOSE are rotted. What I think Just Dance 2015 biggest weakness is is it's lack of game modes compared to JD 2014 or 4
Thank you!!!
i hope that hot and cold and Rasputin can get back together in the next game :(
This aged poorly
@@JustEpic_Yt WHAT WHAT HAPPENED
you used oomf's video at 1:49:03 lmaooooo
also it's actually incredible how you got lots of things right! not even the jd wii (which is very active) doesn't have that obscure gym game. i also feel like talking about the scrapped content could also make an amazing video but ubisoft is always on the eye for those so it'd be really risky.
I did not expect that Yakuza reference at the end haha. I dont think anyone else caught onto that other than some funny dance number?
Kiryu approved.
I love all the Just Dance games got thrown on you😭
as a just dance fan i'm glad you looked so thoroughly into this series' dedication cuz most ppl just turn a blind eye 😭
i love everything about this video but i especially love the rock lobster cosplay at 38:08 and the awesome thumbnail artwork omg...
also the rhythm heaven, persona, kirby, AA, FNAF, and yakuza music choices were phenomenal LOL
This was so much fun and enteraning to watch. Great job going through all just dance games so far
15:45 IS THAT CAMERON BOYCE IN THE MIDDLE??!
57:02
It's not by Hatsune Miku, she doesn't make the songs because, she's just a virtual voice. Also, it's only a cover, the song itself was made in 1928 long before Miku became a thing, and was written by Eini Kettunen to a traditional polka tune. Miku was tuned in the 2007 cover by Otomania ^^
it's credited to hatsune miku ingame.
I always thought Just Dance wasn’t anything special and just a casual yet harmless game series. But theres lore in the later games and effort in some of them too?
I had no idea how visually stunning the backgrounds are and theres a lot of love and care put into them. I just thought these would be the Fifa of rhythm games where it would be the same copy and paste stuff every time.
But once again I'm proven wrong and theres always more to them than just another casual party game.
That it's just, AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Omg i'm so impressed with all the effort you've put into this video, like, actually playing all the games (and most of the songs, if not all of them)... Dude, simply no words for ya... Loved it!
There’s so much info in this video and it’s so well put together. Loved it!
12:21 not only did you sneak in a JoJo Reference but a JOJOLANDS JOJO REFERENCE!??! You've earned my subscription. Great video btw!!!
I'm glad I watched this, I was a bit salty about some changes they made (specifically the way they went about dlc) and I wrote off so many of these games. But this retrospective made me see the dedication they took for each game and the upgrades. I will be trying the new games more fairly and I have a new appreciation of this series. I loved it early on glad to bring it back.
Just Dance 3 is always king in my heart. For the longest time it was the only one I could play, and only when I went to my friend’s houses.
FINALLY a good video about this franchise i’ve been wanting a video like this for YEARS
53:43 Damn this video is really good, this guy seems very interested in just da- is that cirno
0:10 vibing to the fnf music in the background
It’s crazy you don’t even have 1k subs yet this is QUALITY!!
i love the effort put into this video!! just dance was one of my favorite series growing up and i felt so happy watching this :]
I loved your enthusiasm! I've never been more excited about just dance ever LOL
i respect you a lot for this
Fun fact: Dance on Broadway was so forgotten that it has no rating on IMDb
Interestingly, as a kid, I thought 2015 was just an okay game too. Glad to know it wasn’t just me. I think 2,3,4 and 2014 were the best ones.
YOU FINALLY FINISHED?? congrats so much dude oh my god!!!! will be watching very excited…..
also did not realize that there were so many games
one quick note on jd15, sweat mode did also allow to activate the cal counter while playing the game as usual (like in jd14) as well as having the playlists so its more of an addition to the mode instead of changing it completely
the animations look so good, love the fact that the series keeps getting better, makes me want to pick up just dance again. super fun video! love the miku cosplay
Best video I ever watched. Glad I got to see this during the start of my just dance phase again
I’ve been waiting too many years for a video like this. You’ve saved my og Wii player life
The Persona 1 music at the Just Dance Wii 2 section.. you have good taste.
I love seeing people so passionate about a series that they make a whole video on it! I appreciate it as a fan of the series. 💛 I've never played myself, but I like watching videos of the songs. 😅
I never realized how many games there were for this series
The fact you don't have more subscribers is criminal, I'm only a few minutes in and the quality is amazing!
53:02 *10
u forgot Let It Go and Papaoutai have alternates
Also, Just Dance 2015 did have 4 scrapped alternates (for Dark Horse, Built For This, Neon Lights, which is a song that was cut from the game, and You're On My Mind) and was confirmed to have On Stage Mode PLANNED to return
Him calling Night Swan DARK SWAN HURTS!!!
This video deserves more views! Thank you for uploading this, the just dance community may be small but we exist lol.
Make it jiggle is the reason the kids version was made
They saw the future
Ah Just Dance 4. Where it all started for me 😊 nostalgic
I’m 2:10 into this video and he called surfing bird horrible I hate you I’m taking this so personal man I can’t believe you this may forever change the landscape
this video is great, ive grown up with just dance and seeing you review 2024 made me realize how much im missing out on .. i think buying passes is uhm. a lot but i am seriously considering getting into just dance seriously again- regardless if i buy it or attempt to find it some other way this is a really good video and im glad someone out their appreciates just dance like you do, like last year i was blown away to find out just dance songs were connecting (ie save your tears and the wedding ) so much work going into this and i hope more people realize it ( we love you EA 🥺🥺)
you don't buy the seasons individually, it's just the one just dance plus subscription ($4/month or $25/yr and i think you can do a month free trial first.) 2024 is on sale for $24 on switch right now, i started there and and have been playing pretty regularly since november.
@@wsmith2401 24 a year is actually pretty good .. esp since alot of my recent favorites dances are from newer editions and i always wondered where all the profiles other than the little classic pfps came from .. thank you !!
Great video! I grew up only with a Wii so I played and owned every game that they released for the Wii, was my go to for exercise!
this video made me so happy that i almost cried, thank you for making my day a little bit better
this was so interesting and informative! please keep making long form content like this, it definitely has its place on youtube for nerds like me
WOW incredible video!!! I genuinely expected this series to go to shit but im beyond pleasantly surprised!!! 💖The visuals and STORY?? i never expected LORE from Just Dance of all games. You put a lot of work into this! And i love the thumbnail art!!!
NEON WHITE AND RIDGE RACER TYPE 4 OST MENTIONED RAHHHHHHH
jokes aside this video was excellent! was wondering how anyone could possibly get nearly two hours out of talking about just dance but hey you did it and I enjoyed every second!
I have a dream, that this will hit.
Dude thank your for this video!! I love the just dance games and it's super interesting to see every single one covered like this!
this was an INCREDIBLE video thanks for your hard work
The guy cosplaying miku during ievan polka flashbanged me I had to rewind to make sure I saw it correct
yooo, the bep experience and hip hop dance experience on 360 are actually really good and waaaay better than the wii version 🥺🥺
the bep one is miles apart, and despite tracking problems and some annoying repeating moves is a very unique spin off
the hip hop one have the same visuals, but in hd, but the tracking is waaaayyyy better than it was on bep experience, also, the 360 version have harder choreos, some of the harder ones in the entire franchise!!
also, make it jingle for me is that type of thing that it's so bad and absurd that makes it gold, I swear, for weeks I couldn't get that fat ass twerk off my mind lol
also, thank you so much for the video!! so great to see a genuine review of the franchise, especially coming from someone new to the games, you did an amazing job and it shows!!
2014 was my personal childhood favorite!! i love your sentiments on the series, thanks for this video!
I got oddly teary eyed when I saw footage of the older games. Brought me back to a simpler time
Really great video! Its longform and goes into great detail about a series i legitimately played alot with my sisters while growing up on the wii.
I truely hope the youtube algorithm blesses you.
The way I sat here for this entire video despite already knowing all of this and more but I was still rewarded
