Just Dance Wii 2 (also known as ジャストダンスWii 2) is the second game in the Japanese series and the sequel to Just Dance Wii.
This game is developed in the style of Just Dance 3, but lacks some of its features such as unlockable songs and the shop. Like in Just Dance Wii, song lyrics are highlighted light blue when a male is singing and light pink when a female is singing, or both if a male and a female are singing together. This game also includes Dance Dojo, where the player can skip back and forth through a song in order to learn it better.

Trivia[]
- Just Dance Wii 2 is the only game to feature Difficulty and Effort ratings of 3+.
- However, the rating would return in Just Dance 4 and Just Dance 2019 as 4 (Extreme).
- By connecting a microphone to the Nintendo Wii, players can sing and dance at the same time.[7] This makes Just Dance Wii 2 the first game in the entire franchise to offer this mode. The first one in the main series was Just Dance 2014, and the series would appear in every game up to Just Dance 2017.
- Just Dance Wii 2 is the only game from the Japanese series not to include a song by Dream5.
- It is also the only game in the Japanese series not to include a song by AKB48 (if one counts Idol wa Ooh-Nya-Nya no Ken from Yo-kai Watch Dance: Just Dance Special Version, whose artist, NyaKB and Tsuchinoko Panda, is a subgroup containing many of the band’s members).
- Although the game is based on Just Dance 3, some features are different:
- The online store is absent (although leftover textures can be found in the files dumped by Dolphin Emulator[citation needed]).
- The Specials menu has been replaced by the Dance Dojo menu.
- One can play shorter versions or sort the songs, like in Just Dance 2, Just Dance: Summer Party, and Just Dance Wii.
- The ability to sort songs would return in Just Dance 2019.
- The sound effect for stars and the Hi-Score icon during the results screen have been altered.
- If the player presses the A button on the Wii Remote while playing a Duet or a Dance Crew, a triangle matching the color of their star bar and the player's name will be displayed to remind them which coach they chose. The triangle will track and follow the coach's head.[8]
- If the player continues the song after pausing during normal gameplay, or if the player selects a section after pausing in Dance Dojo, it will go right into the countdown starting with 4. The countdown speed depends on the BPM of the song.
- The countdown is also used in Just Dance 4, but it starts at 3.
- The Gold Move effect is in the style of Just Dance 3, but the sound effect is replaced by a new one.
- This was also the case in beta version of Just Dance 4. However, in the final version, only the visual effect was changed, with the sound effect being inspired by Just Dance 3.
- By default, the songs are listed in alphabetical order by artist; first the Japanese artists by kana order and then the non-Japanese artists in alphabetical English order. Songs with the same artist are listed together in alphabetical or kana order by title.
- On the tracklist page from Nintendo’s Japanese website, "カバー" ("cover") is displayed next to each covered song.[9]
- In Dance Dojo, it is not possible to earn points, and the word "TUTORIAL" is displayed in the star bar as a consequence; however, feedback icons still appear.
- The game files include unused English translations which cannot normally be played on a Japanese Wii console that has not been modded.[citation needed]
- Some of the conditions for getting specific medals have been changed, but the wording of the directions to getting those medals between the original English version of Just Dance 3 and the unused English translations of this game are left the same.[citation needed] For example, one of the medals requires playing Rising Sun, but the unused translation states that the player needs to dance to Boogie Wonderland, even though the latter is not available in-game.
- This may have been the case due to the game running on Just Dance 3's engine.
- Some of the conditions for getting specific medals have been changed, but the wording of the directions to getting those medals between the original English version of Just Dance 3 and the unused English translations of this game are left the same.[citation needed] For example, one of the medals requires playing Rising Sun, but the unused translation states that the player needs to dance to Boogie Wonderland, even though the latter is not available in-game.
