Ubisoft has commented on its decision to continue developing Just Dance games for Nintendo Wii, with a senior executive claiming there’s still “a lot” of demand for the series on the console.

Ushering in an era of motion controls, Wii launched in 2006 and went on to sell over 100 million units — a record for a Nintendo home console.

The Just Dance series debuted exclusively on Wii in 2009 and Nintendo’s console has played home to every instalment of the annual series to date.

That tradition will continue with Just Dance 2020, which was announced at Ubisoft’s E3 press conference last week.

Speaking about the publisher’s ongoing support for the platform, Ubisoft EMEA executive director Alain Corre told The Telegraph: “I think we are the last soldier standing! We are the last game on the Wii and we are happy about that as there still a lot of fans wanting to play on it.

“Now we see they are going to the Switch and at the end of the year that Just Dance 2020 will be one of the best games on the Switch because there are more and more families playing on it, as it was in the Wii times.”

Marking the 10th anniversary of the series, Just Dance 2020 will be released this November on Wii, Switch, PS4, Xbox One and Stadia.

Ubisoft confirmed the first Just Dance 2020 songs last week.
