Just Dance 2019
Just Dance 2019 is a dance rhythm game developed and published by Ubisoft. It was unveiled on June 11, 2018, during its E3 press conference as the tenth main installment of the series, and was released on October 23, 2018 on Nintendo Switch, Wii, Wii U, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 in North America. It was also released on October 25, 2018 in Europe and Australia. "Just Dance 2019" was the last known game overall to be released for the Xbox 360 worldwide. It was also the last "Just Dance" game released on the Wii  U console, and by extension, the final Wii U game to be published by Ubisoft. A demo for the game was released on November 12, 2018, on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Wii U, and Nintendo Switch. A sequel, "Just Dance 2020" was released on November 5, 2019. Gameplay. As with the previous installments of the franchise, players must mimic the on-screen dancer's choreography to a chosen song using either motion controllers or the game's associated smartphone app. The "Just Dance Controller" app is no longer supported on Nintendo platforms, electing to exclusively use the consoles' native motion  controls instead. The game's user interface received a significant redesign, with a focus on recommendations and curated playlists, and removing other modes such as minigames to focus on core gameplay. Soundtrack. The following songs appear on "Just Dance 2019": Drake's "Nice for What" was included in initial pressings of the game, but was removed shortly after release due to licensing issues. The song was removed from all releases of the game via patches, except for the Wii and Xbox 360 versions. Kids Mode. The following songs appear on the Kids Mode of the game: Just Dance Unlimited. "Just  Dance Unlimited" is a subscription-based service for accessing a streaming library of songs, including new exclusives and songs from previous "Just Dance" games. As with all previous releases to include "Unlimited", the feature is only supported on current-generation consoles. As of the release of "2019", all future songs added to the service will be exclusive to it. Songs exclusive to "Just Dance Unlimited" include: Reception. "Nintendo Life" gave "Just Dance 2019" a 7 out of 10, noting that its stripped-down experience was "a strange shift to behold, suggesting that the game is trying to adapt to a  new Spotify-using, social media-loving, older teen audience, or maybe growing up alongside those who have supported it from the beginning", and also acknowledged Ubisoft's continued emphasis on pushing its subscription-based offerings for the franchise, as well as performance issues and the removal of "Just Dance" Controller app support on the Nintendo Switch version. The game won the award for "Favorite Video Game" at the 2019 Kids' Choice Awards, and was nominated for "People's Choice" at the Italian Video Game Awards.
