Which Just Dance game was released as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch?

Just Dance 2017 was released as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch. Although the game debuted on several older platforms in October 2016, its Nintendo Switch version launched on March 3, 2017—the same day Nintendo’s hybrid console reached stores.

This made Just Dance 2017 the first game in the series released for Nintendo’s new system. The Switch edition supported motion-controlled dancing with Joy-Con controllers and also worked with the free Just Dance Controller smartphone app, allowing groups to play together.

The wording can cause confusion because Just Dance 2017 was not released only for the Switch. It also appeared on Wii, Wii U, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Windows. Just Dance 2018 followed later in 2017, so it was a Switch game but not a launch title. The Switch release also helped extend the series’ familiar living-room format onto a console that could be played both docked and portably.
