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[]
- Although this game is based on Just Dance 3, some features are different:
- There is no online store (although leftover textures can be found in the files dumped by Dolphin Emulator).
- The Specials menu has been replaced by the Dance Dojo menu.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.
- 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.
- In Dance Dojo, it is not possible to earn points because the word "TUTORIAL" is in the star bar; however, feedback icons still appear if the player dances.
- 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).
- The Gold Move effect takes the style of Just Dance 3, while the sound effect was replaced by a new one.
- The Beta version of Just Dance 4 had this same setup. In the final version however, Just Dance 3’s Gold Move visual effect was replaced by a new one, while the sound effect was kept.
- The game’s files contain unused English translations which cannot normally be played on a Japanese Wii console that has not been modded.
- 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.
- For example, one of the medals needs Rising Sun to be danced to get it, but the unused translation states that the player needs to dance to Boogie Wonderland, even though the song is not available in-game.
- The sound effect for stars and the Hi-Score icon during the results screen are different than those from Just Dance 3.
- During Duet and Dance Crews, a colored arrow will come up when pressing the A button to remind the player which coach they chose.[6]
- 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 song’s BPM.
- The countdown is also used in Just Dance 4, but it starts at 3.
- By connecting a microphone to the 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 would be Just Dance 2014, and it would appear in every game up to Just Dance 2017.
- Just Dance Wii 2 is the only game from the Japanese series to not include a song by Dream5.
- It is also the only game in the Japanese series not to have AKB48, if Idol wa Ooh-Nya-Nya no Ken is counted as an AKB48 song since NyaKB with Tsuchinoko Panda is a subgroup containing many of the band's members.
