Yo-kai Watch Dance: Just Dance Special Version (also known as 妖怪ウォッチダンス JUST DANCE スペシャルバージョン) is a Japanese game in the Just Dance franchise that was released in Japan on December 5, 2015.[1] The game is a crossover with the Yo-kai Watch series and is the fourth Japanese-exclusive Just Dance release.

The game has been revealed in September’s CoroCoro Magazine issue, were Level-5 announced a collaboration with Ubisoft’s Just Dance series. The title of the game was revealed, too, as well as information about songs from the Yo-kai Watch series being planned for inclusion in the game. An official release date of the game had not been revealed in the magazine.

Level-5 announced on their website that the game was set to be released on December 5, 2015. Yo-kai Watch Dance: Just Dance Special Version would go for 4,662 yen when it releases, and would also be available as part of a “Wii Remote Plus Set” for 7,236 yen. The game would also include the “Bully Captain Song Medal”. The Wii U GamePad can also read QR codes for the game. In addition to a look at the game cover, Level-5 revealed that the game will have some of the newer songs like “Uchuu (Space) Dance” and “Jinsei (Life) Dramatic,” along with Yo-kai Watch’s heroine Hailey and the Yo-kai Usapyon.[2]

The game runs on an updated version of Just Dance 2014’s engine, just like its predecessor, meaning the menus of the two games look similar to each other.
