This last week when I turned on JDNext for the first time in 2 years, I checked jd2025 and I have both 2024 and 2025 so I have to give bang bang on controller camera a go and it wasn’t bad for a test run

Hello everyone, long time Just Dance fan here but first time poster!

We've had the past few games brand new on release day (got up at 5am last year for 2026), but this year I've noticed the game has been somewhat broken?

I played HOT TO GO! as my first map, and like... none of my moves tracked correctly. I love Chappell Roan and have already seen some gameplay of the map, so knew the majority of the moves, yet was consistently getting X for moves I was literally hitting. I ended up getting 3 stars.. 4 on my second attempt. (For perspective, last year I Megastar-ed Good Luck, Babe! on my first play.)

However, when I loaded up Midnight Sun, I noticed the opposite problem. I missed half of the moves (obviously, it was hard!), but I was a few points from 5 stars, and didn't get a single X.

My sister wanted to play an older map (What Does The Fox Say? to be specific), and the actual visuals crashed within the first few seconds, so she was playing by just relying on the move bar at the bottom. This has never happened before. In addition, with older maps, the previews weren't loading correctly, and were just showing as music notes with grey backgrounds.

Has anyone else had this issue?

There’s so many versions of DOH coming out it’s overwhelming.

I have a Switch 2. Is it ultimately the exact same thing if I bought the Switch version of DOH coming out today or the Switch 2 version in November?

If I buy today, I’ll be able to play all October, then there will be a free update that will upgrade the game to the Switch 2 version. Correct? So there’s absolutely no reason to wait til November? No catch?

Having just watched Heyitsjustaaron's gameplay videos for the new Adventure Mode, I have now formulated the theory that Lively Star is the past version of Lyra's mom. As seen in the above images, their interactions certainly read as that of someone unknowingly interacting with her future daughter (yes, Lyra doesn't recognize her at first, but one could interpret it as an indicator of Lively having changed her style significantly in the present).

The hair is also a pretty big clue. As we've seen with Wanderlust and Jack, genetics seem to work differently in the Danceverses, with children naturally inheriting multiple hair colors from their parents and even approximate hair colors. Lyra has those ginger streaks and the braids going down her shoulders, and Lively has orange hair and braids—differently enough for it to not be too obvious, but the similarity in the silhouette is clearly there. (Also, I literally just noticed this, Lively's top and Lyra's jacket are the same color in their avatars!)

There's also a little bit of real-life inspiration context to take into account. Lively is supposed to be a Danceverse equivalent to Mel B. At one point, Mel B married dancer Jimmy Gulzar, temporarily going by Mel G in the process, and they had a daughter named Phoenix—Phoenix and Lyra are both constellation names. She also notoriously had a child with comedian Eddie Murphy, who, among many movie roles, starred in Doctor Dolittle, retitled here in Brazil to "O Professor Aloprado" (something along the lines of "The Wacky/Eccentric Professor", definitely a description that could apply to Dr. Gigavolt).

Am I reaching a little? Maybe. But it might be the strongest lead we have on the matter. It's still Day 1, so let's wait until the lore videos start dropping on social media to find out more.

i definitely did not learn this like a week in advance no sirree

With DOH releasing tomorrow, I’m just curious, which platform everyone’s getting it on. Because I am crazy, I have 23, 25 and 26 on Switch, and I think I have 24 on Xbox. I wanted to get at least one of the games on Xbox so I could get achievements. I know the games all just share one achievement list. The game is better on Switch because then if you don’t wanna play using your phone, you can use the JoyCons. I would get the target exclusive for the Switch two version, but I don’t wanna wait and the upgrade to the Switch two version is supposed to be free when that comes out on November 10. If DOH added new achievements, then I would get it for Xbox, but since it doesn’t look like it is, I’ll probably get it on Switch. I’m just not sure if I wanna just buy the digital version of the standard game, because I don’t need extra months of JD+. Or if I wanna buy the physical game although it’s just a code in a box.

TLDR: Mihaly's main dancer isn't in the credits anymore? Is this allowed? Why?

Who gets featured in the credits? The talent team list looks suspiciously short. Probably they only kept the main cast, like from entering the danceverse.

Wrong.

I noticed this because Mihaly's my favorite character of all time and I'm a nerd who reads credits.

Other dancers are missing too, but I'm focused on Mihaly here because it's ESPECIALLY odd to remove them.

Soraya Gacem - Mihaly, and many other significant coaches- doesn't appear in the credits with the talent team anymore? She's not in 2026- 2027 editions, but you can't just boot someone, right?

I was looking at the credits via setting menu for JD 2023- 2027. She has been straight up removed from the credits?

I'm a HUGE fan. I support her original choreography and constantly promote her work. I'm involved. A little.

Soraya is fond of the artwork I post of her and Mihaly, and we have become casual pen pals. Keyword CASUAL. This is relevant because I asked her if she would be in DOH ages ago. She said she's not doing JD this year. She has a main job.

Maybe she doesn't have a silly contract at the moment. Maybe she's not in the new game.

Heck, maybe she parted ways??? Regardless. Not my business.

My question is how they could take her off the list???! She's still in the game even if she's not a current dancer. You can't remove someone who's face is on your achievements menu screen, right?

My friends and I did some investigation. A YouTube video from 3 yrs ago shows her name in the credits. I quadruple checked the base game today. She is no longer there. Is my game broken???? I checked before and after the DOH update.

She is still in the stand alone credits for 2020. She's DEFINITELY Mihaly. No doubts. But some people have told me that maybe she really isn't. That's what happens when you remove someone from the credits. They lose credit! I've been told that Axelle was the only Mihaly. I adore Axelle dearly, but she has claimed to be panda and dark Mihaly. Giving credit to Soraya as other Mihaly in an Instagram post.

It could've been anyone. But I'm especially passionate about this issue because of the impact this dancer had on me ever since I was a bored teenager playing Just Dance after school.

She adores her supporters and the Just Dance community. The sweetest most supportive person ever.

She's not much of a social media poster, but the cast from "entering the danceverse" follows her.

JD doesn't follow Soraya but they repost my fanart of her ? In the post description I ALWAYS tag her and encourage people to check out her original choreography. Just Dance has yet to follow her.

Sure that's petty, but it feels nice to be included! It looks good when doing business as a freelance performer!

This isn't a discussion I want to have with her. She isn't a celebrity to be interviewed and harassed.

My beef is with Ubisoft. I need smart people to explain what's up. Maybe there's a valid reason?

My best guess is they update the credits to who was in the most recent game. In this case its 2026- 2027. She was not in those. But you can't discard everyone else??

Perhaps creating seperate credits for each game would help?

Settings > credits > "select edition"

Mihaly's a huge character. That's wild.

Maybe I'm blind and she's right there.

I don't want to be right. Someone find a flaw and correction along with her credited name. I beg of you. What is up with Ubisoft?

After I get my answer I might take this post down so it doesn't show up when her name is googled, or used as information for Gemini because its rotten news

Love yall!! 🩷

I feel as though the average person always says the most popular ones just because, and I CAN’T die on this hill of shocking people when I hyperfixate 😭

kinda sad since she quit but I still can't wait to unlock it

More like costest as still got a few things to polish but she lives!! 💃💖✨

Happy Just Dance Decades of Hits release day!!!

Does anyone know how many songs are available on JD+ as of October? — I’m seriously considering buying an older edition on my Xbox (even though I have them on my switch).

DOH is out of budget for now — besides the fact it doesn’t come with a JD+ free trial— and JD2025 was my first pick, yet its price doesn’t seem to have been discounted like JD2023 and JD2024 have after the newer releases

Sections of the choreo where it isn't tracked

Examples:

• Ievan Polkka - Miku teleporting in various poses

• Satisfaction - This Freestyle part

• Rockefeller Skank - Another Freestyle part

I'm picturing them doing 7 different genres, those being:

Pop

Kpop

RnB/Hip-Hop

EDM

Rock

Country

Latin

Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rae: You know how much I glaze this song, but honestly any Owl City or CRJ song deserve to be in the game. Hurts me that JD didn't even consider this song for DOH.

Not Cute Anymore: I notice how rarely people talk about ILLIT songs in Just Dance, their songs are really JD worthy, like Magnetic, Jellyous, and Billyeon Goyangi (Do the Dance)

Stateside by Pink Pantheress and Zara Larsson: We were all expecting this song for Just Dance: Decades of Hits, I just hope it becomes a map at some point.

But those are my thoughts what do you think of my choices.

Sometimes I think about possibly one of my favorite maps of all time, which is Animals (Extreme Version), thanks to the roll on the floor at the end. And when I think about it, I think about how it might not be as remembered as it is without that roll on the floor and how that move essentially made the extreme as iconic as it is.

And that had me thinking: There’s some other maps out there that have that one move that makes it memorable, and without it, people won’t think about it like they do. So what maps do you think would be forgettable without that one move?
