“Ubisoft” is set to release their next iteration of its popular “Just Dance” series, and it will be coming to the “Nintendo NX.” This makes the French video game developer one of the first major companies to have a title in the next generation console, according to Venture Beat.

The “NX” won’t be the only system to get “Just Dance 2017” since the title is also set to be released for the “PS4,” “Wii U,” “Wii,” “PS3,” “Xbox 360,” “Xbox one,” and the “PC.” This is what “Ubisoft” announced during their E3 presentation.

The company also talked about its plans regarding the game in terms of what it offers on its official blog.

“For starters, there’s Just Dance Machine, a frantic new mode that challenges you to perform different kinds of dances (including flamenco, ballet, and the cancan) to help your alien captors return home,” the company wrote on the blog. “It also introduces 40 new tracks by diverse acts including Sia, Major Lazer, Hatsune Miku, and Queen.”

With the “Just Dance Unlimited” streaming, players will be getting as many as 200 more songs throughout the year. They will be released during special occasions such as Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Christmas.

Because the “Just Dance’ series focuses on motion detection, it sold really well for consoles that supported such a technology. Selling more than 60 million copies to date, it did particularly well during the ‘Wii’s” heyday.

With reports stating that the “Nintendo NX” will be featuring VR technology, speculations abound regarding the future of the title and if it will incorporate VR gameplay once the technology becomes more widely viable. “Ubisoft” has not completely ruled this out, but for now, the company states that they were more concerned about making sure that the video game would be compatible with as many consoles as possible.
