Just Dance 2017 on the Nintendo Switch is a great debut for the genre on the new console, and speaks to the promise of more great Joy-Con motion-controlled games to come.

Just Dance 17 is both refreshing and stale. On one hand, it’s great to see a late port from a third party that has as many features, if not more than the other versions available. On the other, the Just Dance franchise itself is pretty much the same as it was last year, or the year before, or the year before.

Just Dance 2017 is a good way to introduce new players to the game, or to get friends in the game with you - but as for accuracy, it's not the best. That said, you'll probably be having so much fun dancing to the Sumo version of "Hips Don't Lie" that you won't even notice the hiccups.

Just dance 2017 against the backdrop of the new parts is wonderful, it has excellent songs, like the songs of Beyoncé or Shakira. The design, even for 2016, looks outdated; I would also highlight the fact that it does not show the difficulty level. Otherwise, this game is the best among other parts on the switch

This games deserves an 8 because I play it with my wife so it is really fun. If played by myself then not so much, a 7 at best.

El juego cumple lo que promete excepto que requiere mebresia, de ahi en mas, con unos buenos amigos te la pasaras de lujo, tiene bailes muy dificiles, bailes muy divertidos, y ha mucha gente le gusta y le trae recuerdos por el amplio catalogo, pero en realidad que la membresia te pona a pensar si es que es buena idea comprar el juego, esta clase de juegos quizas si seria mejor ser una suscripcion que una compra

Just Dance 2017 is, simply put, fun. It's fun with others. It's challenging both mentally (to learn the choreography) and physically. And it has a lot of music to offer. Just Dance 2017 gets that way not by being a technical program obsessing about judging the details of your physical movements, but by doing everything in its power to make you forget everything but the music, the choreography, how they intertwine, and how you're ever going to be able to catch your breath in time to keep up with it.

Probably the most definitive Just Dance game yet, but maybe it should be the last?

While a step up from last year in terms of included tracks, Just Dance 2017 doesn’t bring a lot new to the table — the meat and potatoes lies in Just Dance Unlimited. The Switch version specifically functions as well as you might expect, offering up an easy second player controller courtesy of readily-available Joy-Cons, though the experience becomes difficult visually once undocked. At this point, it’s what you’d expect from Just Dance, but on a new platform. Consider this tiny cartridge your portal into Just Dance Unlimited as I imagine 2017 might be where physical entries to the series end.

While there's only so much you can do with a dancing game concept, after playing so much Dance Central over the years, the ancillary modes all seem pretty rote. There's a loose campaign (that's not really engaging enough to follow through with), free play, and a bare-bones weight loss mode. "Dance Machine" attempts to try something new, randomizing routines under the guise of helping aliens refuel their ship, but I found myself just gravitating back toward freeplay after a few rounds.

For one of the earliest Nintendo Switch experiences I’ve had with the console, Just Dance 2017 was a disappointing departure. Though its slick and easy to use interface combined with the Switch-centric Tabletop Mode are boons for those looking to dance, there’s little substance here, certainly not enough to recommend shelling out cash for Just Dance Unlimited or even playing this game instead of just turning on the radio and dancing to your own routines.

Another year, another instalment in the Just Dance franchise. Established fans will know exactly what they're getting, however, the irony with the Switch edition is the absence of a few features that were available in the Wii U (and even the Wii!) versions. Due to the absence of a camera *and* microphone in the Nintendo Switch, there is no option to be scored on your vocal prowess in this version of the software (even though the Switch has a USB port when docked). Just Dance TV is also limited to watching the most popular and recent performances of players from other versions of the software. On the plus side, the Switch edition includes a 3-month subscription to Just Dance Unlimited (which unfortunately activates upon first booting the software), affording you a far wider range of routines to choose from at no extra cost. The downside? You have no option to permanently download any of the routines as DLC, and performances of any of the Unlimited routines frequently result in buffering, connection failures and bitrate fluctuations. Another downside is the omission of Zayn Malik's "Like I Would" and a cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas"; two very popular songs that would be favoured in a party environment, and they are conspicuously absent in this release ("Like I Would" and the deceptively advertised "How Deep Is Your Love" are exclusive to Just Dance Unlimited). The software supports up to six phone/tablet devices with the free Just Dance Controller app, or six Joy-Cons for local multiplayer, but not a combination of the two control methods. Prospective dancers should ultimately consider whether the additional modes and slightly superior song selection of the Wii U version is worth forfeiting for the convenience of portability that only the Nintendo Switch can provide. Both versions are competent in their own right, and the cons are arguably negligible for those whose interest lies in the core experience. I'm not terribly impressed with the song selection in Just Dance 2017 and I hope that the song selection will be improved in the next release. Recommended for established fans or those who would like to take this sort of game with them on the go.

Steer clear from Just Dance 2017 for the Switch. Sure it's the same built-in routine from previous consoles, but buying this directly right ahead will ruin the Switch hype for your to-get future list of games. Look for something else instead.

I want games that use the motion controllers, I do, but Just Dance... I never played one, and I knew I wouldn't like it, but I wanted it to prove me wrong. I don't like to say I don't like it if I have never played it, i'll give it a chance. I think the issue with this is, the levels can last too long. They need shortened versions of the songs like the singers on X-Factor. It doesn't give you any warning, it just thrusts you in. I wasn't tired or anything like that, I just got bored too fast. I even tried to play on a song I liked a lot, Queen - Don't stop me now... and I got bored of it, I just didn't enjoy it, but I guess this is aimed at being a party game after all... I was rid of it pretty quickly. This is my opinion.
