Speaking about the publisher's ongoing support for the platform, Ubisoft EMEA executive director Alain Corre told The Telegraph: "I think we are the last soldier standing! We are the last game on the Wii and we are happy about that as there still a lot of fans wanting to play on it.

Some are interpreting this line as being literal, but I can't help read it as Ubisoft saying they're the last as a series, not the actual last game. Especially if there's apparently still lots of demand for the series on Wii. Why not keep it going as long as possible?

i remember just dance was still selling something like 500k on the wii in 2014 or 2015 or something. the market was basically underserved by every eighth gen console and the fanbase just stuck around for their yearly fix on the thing they already had.

The development costs must be pretty low (I don't play this series, but I assume there's nothing new being added in terms of gameplay, it's just a tracklist update), so they will release them as long as they have an audience that covers them and make Ubi some extra bucks.

I would be interested to see how the modern Just Dance games on Wii compare to their Switch/PS4/XBO cousins. Do they get the different features of each game (sweat mode, kids mode, ect) and different menus and unlockables each game. Or is it more akin to the 'legacy' editions of sports games that EA put out, where the entire game down to the menu's is identical to the version from half a decade ago and its just the songlist that changes?

Just dance is basically FMV tied to motion controllers. So resolution aside, there are zero reasons for the Wii and PS4 pro version to have any difference

The Wii versions do not have Just Dance Unlimited. The online subscription service that let's you play more songs.

The reason I still get the game for the PS4 is because I have 4 motion controllers AND it has a camera.

If I wanted it for the Switch, I'd need to spend a bunch of money on more controllers AND I'd lose the ability to have the camera.

Recording ourselves looking like fools is half of the enjoyment of the game. Not having that is a huge loss for the Switch version. Nintendo needs to get a camera out ASAP.

Couldn't they just include them on the disc on Wii to compensate? They never brought the Rabbid Peach Naughty Girl song to Wii or even Wii U right? That was only via Just Dance Unlimited on Switch?

Ironically, Ubisoft created one for Wii:

But it was only used in Your Shape and Racquet Sports.

I think the Wii will absolutely see more releases, the way the Genesis just got a new physical game last month

There are a lot of songs on Just Dance Unlimited. They couldn't fit them all on a Wii disc. Don't know about the Rabbid song but I would assume it's Switch exclusive.

Didn't someone release a genesis game a couple of years ago? Or did I just dream that?

I guess it gets a bit hazy with GB/GBC, given that GBC had a lot of exclusive titles and it was effectively a pseudo-successor to the GB.

Wii managed 13 years all on its own, which is amazing.

Didn't they shut down the Wii store earlier this year, too? So physical media outlived digital on the console.

Xbox 360, which came out the year before Wii, had Just Dance/FIFA/PES 2019.

The last GB compatible game came out in 2002, so it's not that far.

Fifa was released on the ps2 all the way until 14/2013. So yea as long as people keep buying the series on Wii it will keep coming out on said platform.

Speaking of Nintendo Wii, there's a new Wii title in the charts this week -- Just Dance 2020 at No.15. Incredibly, the Wii version is the second most successful version of the game, accounting for 21% of all Just Dance 2020 sales. The Nintendo Switch edition accounted for 55% of sales, with the PS4 SKU accounting for 14% and Xbox One making up 10%.
