0078265317 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 or 20 Just Dance 2018 has been discussed in this thread since it was announced last June. My point was if JD-18 is coming out others might also. And if 2018 is coming out then there might even be a 2019 or 2020. So it won't be the last I think.

Video Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'd be surprised if the last game isn't some sports game. Would just dance count as a sport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 There has been a trickle of more TG-16 games. Of course, many of those were already on the Wii U in Japan, so releasing them in North America probably takes minimal effort. Someone must be buying them....

Atariboy Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 (edited) Wii U will see at least one retail release in 2018, courtesy of Ubisoft. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/06/ubisoft_confirms_just_dance_2019_for_nintendo_switch_wii_u_and_wii I heard something recently about an unreleased but finished party game or something of the sort from Ubisoft. While I'm sure it's no hidden gem, it would be nice to see that work from those people be released here on the Just Dance 2019 disc as a bonus feature.

Tempest Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Holy crap, for the Wii too? Even small kids aren't using the Wii anymore. I wonder why they're bothering other than it must be really cheap to port it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 The Wii is still popular in kids day care (and elder care) centers. Just Dance is just enough to keep it fresh. I'm sure it's using the same engine they've had for the the last 5+ years. I might get the XB360 Kinect version, which I assume they're making if they're doing a Wii version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why they're bothering other than it must be really cheap to port it. Just Dance still sells more copies on the original Wii than any other platform. My daughter prefers to play it on Wii even though we have a PS4. I guess the Wiimotes work better than the PS camera for movement tracking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I think the Wii version is pretty generous with scoring ... you're just waggling the controller, after all. You could probably "play" it sitting on the couch, though that defeats the purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiimotes definitely don't work "better" than the Move controllers, but that doesn't mean the Wii version isn't more "fun" due to it's more forgiving scoring system. My Grandmother's retirement home still has "bowling leagues" every week with their Wii system. It wouldn't surprise me if some of them are playing Just Dance games as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 So Axiom Verge? Did it ever get a Wii U physical release in the USA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaki Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 So Axiom Verge? Did it ever get a Wii U physical release in the USA? I gave up and bought the digital version on sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 They're still acting as of about six weeks ago on their Facebook page that it's going to happen, but I've given up hope for a physical Wii U release of Axiom Verge. For whatever reason, they don't seem willing to admit the obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Yeah, I'm not having high hopes for Axiom Verge either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 There's no way. The Wii U has been dead too long and no one but a few of us die hards care. If they went through with it they'd lose a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) They gave up on retail quite a while back thanks to disinterest from companies like Wal-Mart in non-casual Wii U releases. So it sounds like if this did happen, it will be a more specialty release with a small print run for collectors and diehard Wii U fans. The only hold up I can think of that might be preventing this if they're genuinely serious about following through, is perhaps they're lobbying Nintendo to lower the size of a minimum print run or perhaps are even trying to get region locking lifted for it so that one print run can be sold throughout the west (They did take orders for Europe which remain unfulfilled)? I could see selling even 5,000 copies of this without losing their shirt in the US/Canada, but if they're stuck with something like 25,000 for a minimum print run, I can't see it happening. Even 10,000 sounds awfully high to me compared to the numbers you see a higher quality release accomplish from publishers like Limited Run Games in the videogame world or Twilight Time in the Blu-Ray game.
