Just Dance 2017 - Nintendo Wii - DE

Just Dance 2017 is the 2017 edition of the main series of Just Dance dance games in which players perform dance routines and mimic the movements of the performers on screen to earn points. It continues to support the control mechanism introduced in Just Dance 2016 and Just Dance Now, in which an app for Android and iOS phones turns the device into a controller for the game, which registers movements via the accelerometer/gyroscope. The phone is also used to select dancers and navigate through menus, so no additional controllers are required. This is supported by the PS4, Wii U, Windows and Xbox One versions, and the series is published for PC for the first time. In addition, the PS4, Wii U and Xbox One versions support Move + Camera, Wii Remote and Kinect as alternative control systems. For PS3, Wii and Xbox 360, only Move + Eye, Wii Remote or Kinect are available as control options. The game modes for this edition are Just Dance (with a rivalry and co-op mode), Just Dance Machine, World Dance Floor, Just Dance TV, Dance Quest, Sweat & Playlists and Video Challenge. There is support for local and online multiplayer modes. The main mode of Just Dance introduces 40 new tracks into the game, with artists such as Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, David Guetta, Justin Bieber, Queen, The Weeknd and so on with an average song length of about one minute. As with the previous edition, the library can be expanded with a subscription service called Just Dance Unlimited, which provides access to approximately 200 additional songs from a streaming library. Players pay for the service per month (USD 4.99), per three months (USD 9.99) or per year (USD 29.99). This service is only available for PS4, Wii U, Windows and Xbox One versions. It includes both new titles and songs from previous editions. In most PAL versions, a three-month subscription is included by default, whilst in the US it is provided via the more expensive Just Dance 2017 (Gold Edition). In the main mode of Just Dance, players go through the classic rivalry mode or play as a team in co-op mode. Song categories include Solo (one dancer), Duet (two dancers), Trio (three dancers), Quartet (four dancers), Just Dance 2017, Mashup and more. During gameplay, the next steps are displayed in the lower right corner whilst the characters perform them. It is also possible to display the song lyrics in karaoke style. Based on the timing of the player, the moves are rated, which causes a vertical bar to fill, with stars for each newly reached section and an overall point total. There is a progression system with many avatars that can be unlocked. Some game elements and songs are unlocked through the well-known Mojo Coins game currency, which you earn for performances. Just Dance Machine (PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch only) is a new game mode in which the player must help two aliens by providing them with dance energy so they can return home. They need different parts that require different energy, so a single session often switches quickly between different music styles, requiring the player to adapt quickly. World Dance Floor is the online multiplayer mode where you can compete against other players in real-time. Each player's score during a song is displayed in a leaderboard on the left side of the screen. There is a central lobby where players can vote on the songs to be played. This edition additionally offers tournaments and boss battles. Just Dance TV returns to show video clips of players around the world dancing to see their performances or learn from them. Dance Quest also returns, in the form of a series of challenges revolving around different themes, competing against the results of AI opponents, and the Sweat & Playlists fitness mode, which allows you to create individual workouts. Another new mode is Video Challenge, in which you compete asynchronously against another player by recording a video associated with the dance routine. During direct duels, a video shows the performance and movements of the other player, captured by a camera. If a camera is available, the game also records the player's feed, and at the end of songs it can be released as a new challenge for other players. Video recording is only available for PS4 and Xbox One versions.
