The original Nintendo Switch edition launched alongside the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. The Switch 2 edition is a later release rather than the launch version. The supplied official information does not establish whether every physical or digital purchase format uses the same upgrade process, so buyers should check the Nintendo eShop or retailer listing for the specific edition.
What is included on Nintendo Switch?
The Switch version is a themed Just Dance collection built around music from the 1970s through the 2020s. Ubisoft describes the game as containing 35 songs across six decades, with visual worlds and choreography designed around each era. The launch roster is grouped by decade as follows:
| Publisher decade | Songs listed in the launch roster |
|---|---|
| 1970s | “Mamma Mia” — ABBA; “Come and Get Your Love” — The Heartliners; “ABC” — Groove Century; “Crocodile Rock” — Elton John; “The Singing Garden” — Hyacinth |
| 1980s | “It’s Tricky” — RUN DMC; “Uptown Girl” — Billy Joel; “Into the Groove” — Madonna; “Jump” — Metal Russell; “Celebration” — Equinox Stars |
| 1990s | “Wannabe” — Spice Girls; “Just A Girl” — No Doubt; “Around the World” — Daft Punk; “Sing Hallelujah!” — Dr. Alban; “Coconut” — SMiLE.dk |
| 2000s | “Stronger” — Britney Spears; “Bye Bye Bye” — *NSYNC; “No Scrubs” — TLC; “Feel Good Inc.” — Gorillaz; “Starlight” — The Supermen Lovers feat. Mani Hoffman; “In Too Deep” — Sum 41 |
| 2010s | “Turn Down for What” — DJ Snake & Lil Jon; “Danza Kuduro” — Don Omar feat. Lucenzo; “Hello” — Martin Solveig & Dragonette; “Santa Tell Me” — Ariana Grande; “Give Me Everything” — Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer |
| 2020s | “Manchild” — Sabrina Carpenter; “NUEVAYoL” — Bad Bunny; “Midnight Sun” — Zara Larsson; “drop dead” — Olivia Rodrigo; “MORE & MORE” — TWICE; “HOT TO GO!” — Chappell Roan; “Across All Time” — Lyra Gigavolt; “Supersonic” — Lyra Gigavolt; “Hi Lyfe” — Cult of Sound |
This table follows Ubisoft’s published decade categories. In particular, “No Scrubs” appears in the publisher’s 2000s grouping, regardless of how players might classify the song by its original release date. The list above describes the announced launch roster; it does not include songs from alternate routines, fan-made mashups, or separate Just Dance+ additions.
Modes on the Switch version
Adventure Mode
Adventure Mode is included with Just Dance: Decades of Hits. It follows Lyra on a journey through six decade-inspired worlds while she attempts to rescue Dr. Gigavolt. Ubisoft says the mode combines songs, themed locations, mini-activities, and unlockable rewards.
The available announcement confirms that Adventure Mode is available to owners of the game, but it does not provide a complete progression chart or reward list. It is therefore best understood as a themed progression mode rather than proof that every song in the launch roster must be unlocked before it can be played in the general Song Library.
Party Mode
Party Mode is intended for changing group play. Ubisoft describes it as using rules that can change from round to round, creating a less predictable party format.
Workout Mode
Workout Mode tracks calories burned while dancing. The cited sources do not verify how calorie estimates are calculated or whether they should be treated as medical or fitness measurements.
Local multiplayer
Up to six people can dance locally on Nintendo Switch. The official announcement also says that a smartphone can be used as a controller, allowing players to start without additional dedicated accessories. For the most accurate setup instructions, check the in-game prompts and the current Just Dance Controller app requirements for the Switch edition.
The sources specifically mention the Nintendo Switch app in connection with the camera-controller mode. They do not establish every controller-pairing option or accessory combination, so this article does not assume that all controller methods work identically across Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation, and Xbox.
Just Dance+ and other Just Dance editions
Ubisoft states that owners of Just Dance: Decades of Hits and a Just Dance 2023–2026 Edition can access songs in one place on the same console. The announcement also refers to purchased Music Packs and songs available through an active Just Dance+ subscription.
These are separate content categories:
- The 35-song roster above is the announced Decades of Hits launch collection.
- Just Dance+ is a subscription streaming service with additional songs.
- Purchased Music Packs are separate from the base launch roster.
- Songs from earlier Just Dance editions are not automatically part of the 35-song collection.
- The supplied launch information says the game is not compatible with Just Dance 2022 or older versions.
Just Dance+ requires a Ubisoft account, an internet connection, and a paid subscription or other applicable fee. Availability and platform requirements can vary by country and store. The supplied evidence does not confirm that every Just Dance+ song is downloadable for offline play.
Is the Nintendo Switch version right for you?
The Switch edition is the most relevant choice for players who want a living-room dance game with local group play and a broad, decade-based theme. It is especially suited to:
- Families and parties looking for a shared game
- Players who prefer music from multiple generations
- Groups that want up to six local participants
- Players who want Adventure, Party, and Workout modes in one release
- Nintendo Switch owners who may later move to Nintendo Switch 2
Players mainly interested in a subscription library should distinguish the base game from Just Dance+. The launch edition provides its own announced song collection, while Just Dance+ requires a separate active subscription and internet access.
