Just Dance 2017 is the eighth installment of the Just Dance franchise. The game was first teased on June 10, 2016,[5] and was officially revealed at E3 2016. The game was released in North America on October 25, 2016. The Nintendo Switch version of the game was released worldwide on March 3, 2017 as a launch title.[6] In addition, a Chinese version, 舞力全开2017, was later announced on March 22, 2017.

Ubisoft Connect Exclusives[]

These songs can be unlocked on Just Dance 2017 through Ubisoft Connect.[11] Note: Let Me Love You was unlocked at the start if the player connected their Ubisoft account. It has since become a Just Dance Unlimited exclusive.

Additional note: These songs are not available in-game for the Nintendo Switch, as Ubisoft Connect is not available for the said console. Due to this, these songs must be played through Just Dance Unlimited, with the exception of William Tell Overture, due to it being on the main track list of the Nintendo Switch version of the game.

This feature will no longer be available starting on June 30, 2023.[9] Offline content that has been unlocked already will remain available.

Rating Summary: This is a rhythm-and-dance simulation game in which players perform choreographed routines by following the movements of on-screen characters. Players score points by accurately moving their bodies in time to the music and scrolling indicators. Some songs contain suggestive references: “He. . .scanned everything I had under my top”; “A little less conversation and a little more touch my body.” Other song lyrics contain allusions to violence (e.g., “Machine gun firing at the ones who run”) and alcohol references (e.g., “Wasted, and the more I drink the more I think about you”).

Reception[]

Steve Hannley of Hardcore Gamer noted that Ubisoft had defied his prediction that Just Dance Unlimited would be the future of the franchise and that would be no further physical releases, but felt that Ubisoft had put a larger effort into the on-disc content of 2017 than 2016 (which he described as being a "last minute afterthought" to introduce Unlimited). The Just Dance Machine mode was considered to be "pointless" due to being a basic concept driven by its presentation, but was "a concept that's never been done before in rhythm games and an example of the innovation the series needs to warrant a another physical release". Hannley also praised the higher quality of the game’s soundtrack, including more recent hit music, fewer "joke" songs, and surfacing Gigi Rowe’s "impressive" debut single "Run the Night". In conclusion, Hannley continued to assert that Ubisoft should focus more on providing more immediate access to recent music rather than requiring players to wait for the next annual physical release, but that Just Dance 2017 was "thankfully a marked improvement over its predecessor."[12][13]

Just Dance 2017 received "mixed or average" reviews on Metacritic holding a metascore of 73/100 on both PS4[14] & Xbox One[15] and 72/100 on Nintendo Switch.[16]

Trivia[]

General[]

  • Just Dance 2017’s title was revealed in a video uploaded by Ubisoft Brasil on YouTube, which also confirmed a virtual reality mode. The video later went private for a few hours before being released to the public again.
    • However, Ubisoft Brasil claimed that the game would not feature a virtual reality mode. This was later proven to be false.[17]
  • On the first day of E3 2016, a total of five coaches (Sorry, Worth It, Lean On, PoPiPo, and Can’t Feel My Face) were revealed on the Facebook page of Ubisoft Brasil.[18][19]
  • Following the announcement of Just Dance 2017 at Ubisoft’s E3 conference, the entire team at Ubisoft paid respects to the victims of the Orlando shooting on June 11, 2016.
  • Just Dance 2017 is the most linguistically diverse, containing songs performed in the following eleven languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Albanian, Romanian, Russian, French, Turkish, and Polish.
  • Just Dance 2017 is the first main series game not to have a song by Katy Perry in the main track list or appear as an original/recycled DLC.
    • Including the Japan-exclusive Just Dance Wii, Just Dance 2017 is the second game overall in the entire franchise (excluding the Just Dance Kids and Experience series) in which a Katy Perry song is not featured.
  • Just Dance 2017 is the first game in the main series to be available for PC (via Steam and Ubisoft Connect) and Nintendo Switch. To date, it is the only title that is available on the PC.
  • To date, Just Dance 2017 has the most console releases (eight) of any title in the main series.
  • The game was 'released' in France two weeks before it was meant to be officially released.
  • The Gold Move effect for this game was revealed through Just Dance Now’s routine previews and Just Dance Unlimited announcements.
    • However, the Gold Move effect from Just Dance 2015 is retained on seventh-generation consoles since all assets from that game are used.
    • The Gold Move effect from this game is used in Just Dance 2018 in a similar way but with less particles and a red glow effect.
      • In the preview video of Me Too on Just Dance Now, the full Gold Move effect uses a similar red glow effect.
      • Starting with Just Dance 2020, the Gold Move effect was modified while keeping the red glow effect.
  • From January 16 to March 30, 2017, Just Dance’s Brazilian Facebook page held a contest where Brazilian participants could win a copy of Just Dance 2017 along with Mexican singer Anahí’s album Inesperado. In order to have a chance to win, one had to give a like to Just Dance and Anahís’ Facebook pages, like the post that announced the contest and share it on their profile with the sentence "Vou dançar RUMBA da Anahí e jogar muito Just Dance 2017 esse ano."[20][21][22]
  • Just Dance 2017 is the sixth game in the series to be nominated for Favorite Video Game at the Kids’ Choice Award. The only exceptions are Just Dance and Just Dance 2015.
  • Just Dance 2017 ties with Just Dance 2025 Edition as the main series game with the most Ubisoft original songs in the main tracklist, with 6.

In-Game[]

  • Like the previous two games, Just Dance 2017 has captions for every alternate routine that is unlocked, but only on seventh-gen consoles. Here are the captions attributed to each routine, in order of when they are unlocked (NOTE: Cola Song’s alternate routine is unlocked at the start):
    • Don’t Stop Me Now - Never say no to Panda!
    • Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) - Dance with your family!
    • Cake By The Ocean - Ready for a date?
    • RADICAL - Put your helmet on!
    • DADDY - Ready for a little workout?
    • What Is Love - In the mood for a road trip?
    • Lean On - Don't step on the scarf!
    • Hips Don’t Lie - Follow my hips!
    • Cheap Thrills - Want to be a Bollywood star?
    • El Tiki - The more the merrier!
    • September - Are you ready to sweat?
    • Sorry - Do you need a second chance?
    • Worth It - Ready to rock the stage?
    • Scream & Shout - Golden is not silence!
  • Just Dance 2017 is the second game where where the first song in the menu is not performed by a solo female. On seventh-generation consoles, the first song is Cake By The Ocean, which is performed by a solo man; on eighth-generation consoles, the first song is All About Us, which is performed by a trio of a man and two women. This was preceded by Just Dance 2014, where Kiss You, an all-male Dance Crew, was the first song.
  • All three returning Ubisoft Club Exclusive songs are from Just Dance 2016.
  • The digital Gold Edition for Xbox One does not contain three months for Just Dance Unlimited.
    • With physical copies of the Gold Edition, an attempt to redeem the three months code for Just Dance Unlimited may instead cause the entire game to download without requiring the disc.
  • All of the Dance Crews are mixed gender Dance Crews except for Worth It (Extreme Crew Version).
  • Just Dance 2017 has the fewest Mashups (10) and is the first game since Just Dance 3 to not have Party Master Mode.
    • On the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, Just Dance 2017 is the first game since Just Dance 2 to not have any Mashups. It is later followed by Just Dance 2018.
  • When viewing Autodances, videos of What Is Love, I Love Rock ‘N’ Roll, and Last Christmas, all of which are covered in the game, will play the original versions of the songs.
  • On seventh-generation systems the covers for Bonbon, Scream and Shout, Groove, Lean On, and Can’t Feel My Face have the glass-like effect from Just Dance 2014’s squares.
  • When the Nintendo Switch was launched it did not include the songs Like I Would or Last Christmas. Instead, those two songs were only playable on Just Dance Unlimited.
    • They were replaced by Chiwawa and William Tell Overture.
    • Coincidentally, William Tell Overture is only available on other consoles through Ubisoft Connect. It is not available on the Switch.
  • All of the Mashups on the game end with the last dancer performing the end of their routine (for example, Hips Don’t Lie’s Mashup ends with the dancer for Stuck On A Feeling performing the last moves of his original routine). This is the first game in the series to do this.
  • All of the Mashups except for Cheap Thrills and What Is Love start the audio before the player can see the entire background.
  • Just Dance 2017 marks the first game in the series where Ubisoft’s reward system, Uplay, changed its name to Ubisoft Club. You can still see the Uplay logo on the back of the game case and on 7th-gen consoles when entering the browser. Uplay is also the name of Ubisoft's PC launcher app. However, it was later merged with Ubisoft Club to become Ubisoft Connect.
    • This was also the last game in the series to have the Ubisoft Connect feature on Xbox 360 and PS3.
    • Just Dance 2017 is also the first game in the main series to support the display of Chinese characters, after Just Dance 2016 added Chinese language support.
      • However, Chinese translations are not available for seventh-gen consoles.
  • There is a glitch where when the player is about to get superstar, the first "S" is delayed.
  • On the Wii, when another player gets Superstar during the Superstar sound effect or up to 4 players get Superstar at the same time, it will play multiple times in unison or as a chain for up to 4 times. On other consoles, it cuts off and plays for the next player when another player gets Superstar during the Superstar sound effect or plays once when up to 4 or 6 players get Superstar at the same time.
    • This also happens when one player reaches 5 stars, and another gets Superstar.
  • When attempting to play a Community Remix while having an expired Unlimited pass, Break Free and Taste The Feeling will not have an "Unlimited" marker, and when trying to play the two routines, the game leads you to the normal screen to sign up for Unlimited while playing a preview of the song.
    • However, choosing Playlist followed by an attempt to play one of the two Community Remixes will result in a warning on the coach seletion screen reading that the Ubisoft server is down; after that, the game will return to the startup screen.
  • Scores and dancer cards saved on Just Dance 2017 will be imported to any copy of Just Dance 2018 that is played on the same console.
  • Due to the heavy storage that this game requires for the Wii U, the game can tend to freeze frequently, as often as every 30 minutes of play time.
  • For the karaoke function to work on the Wii, a handheld USB microphone has to be connected to the Wii.
  • Just Dance 2017 is the second game to have unique menu colors per map, after Just Dance 4 (on all consoles except Xbox 360). It has default menu colors for if a map's files is missing them. They are:
  • Just Dance 2017 is the first game since Just Dance 3 to have a downloadable/Unlimited-exclusive song from a year earlier than 2003 (in this case, Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go (From the Emoji Movie)). This would happen again in the next game.
  • Just Dance 2017 is playable on the Nintendo Switch Lite, but original Joy-Cons are required to be connected to the console to play.
    • This also applies to other games in the series available on the Nintendo Switch.
  • The leaderboard on the World Dance Floor mode on 8th-gen consoles are displayed when the in-game HUD is hidden.
