For the Radical ALT, it got leaked about a month or two ago, but the original video was deleted and was only very recently uploaded again. The account that uploaded it seemingly purged his account and is now reuploading a bunch of betas
Don't forget that person featured on Yesterday I Asked You (YIAY) who has every single Just Dance game. Not because they're collecting it themselves, but purely because that's just the thing they always get for Christmas. To quote Jack's reaction to it, "That's too much Just Dance! No one can possibly dance this much!"
And for Rihanna, it is indeed copyright : Rihanna signed with Dance Central (Just Dance main opponent at the time) an exclusivity contract that led DC to have Rihanna's catalogue for themselves, Just Dance couldn't have a single song. The contract was going to expire since Dance Central didn't have new games but out of nowhere Dance Central VR was announced and released on Oculus Rift, and so the exclusivity still runs.
A little correction,Daddy is a French company producing sugar and I do believe that the whole point of the ad was to enjoy the popularity of Just Dance with the song Daddy cool, which they use on almost every ad they do. Great video by the way.
While i have to agree that Rasputin has that one hard part its worth noting that curently there are a lot of diffrent very hard moves in diffrent songs so it wouldnt make sense to mention a specific song when we talk about hard moves.
No way!! As someone who has been into the depths of the community there is a lot of stuff you havent even scratched the surface of lmao- THANK YOU for making a video like this, it's really interesting to see an outside perspective!! leka

If you make a part two, I think the Hatsune miku songs should be added As of right now there are three Hatsune miku songs that are available globally,however all of them say "[Song] by Hatsune miku" when it's the same as saying your song was made by drums, however the Japanese versions of those songs instead say the actual creator's name with FT Hatsune miku
It’s funny cuz I’ve heard one of the most famous vocaloid producers, Wowaka, wrote a song about that phenomenon. Specifically how how credit isn’t being attributed to him, and rather to Miku. And how it made him feel bad. Luckily that culture has died down, but I guess it’s still there for these games. The disrespect
I don't know if this fact would be worth entering the iceberg, but the online game Stardoll even held events where it gave clothes inspired by Just Dance coaches if the player completed a challenge in the event. I remember my user receiving leggings similar to those worn in “Moves like Jagger”.

Wow as a Just Dancer, I can say that you really SLAYED the video! This is awesome bestie, you really investigated and added effort onto the video. You got a new sub here! ✌️❤
as a huge fan of this game, videos made about it are one of three categories: A. Bad B:Ubisoft affiliated C: both! so this is wonderful to see, an entertaining iceberg video about jd! I'd be totally down to watch you go in depth about some other stuff about the game, and if you need, I have some leaked materials/experiences with the leakers you didn't wanna name lol.
Here’s a little something that people might not care: There is one song from Just Dance Wii U that went to Just Dance Unlimited. And that song is EZ DO DANCE. However, it’s only in the Japanese servers of Just Dance Unlimited.
thank you SO MUCH for captioning the whole video, most youtubers don’t bother to even think of captions edit: OH MY GOD OMG HE USED MY VIDEO AT 22:49 I FEEL HONORED
To be frank, with how Michael Jackson's reputation fell after his death (especially after **that** documentary) I don't think Ubisoft is eager to licence his songs to be put in Just Dance Unlimited. Also, it would involve negociating with Yoni Jayl (who is the main dancer) but it would be hard since he left Just Dance team around 2018...
Yoni is only the dancer. Ubisoft doesn't need his permission to put the Michael jackson songs in just dance + or unlimited. They just need the music licences. Aland also yoni has been in lots of other just dance maps. Like the other side that is a jd2014 dlc. Thats on unlimited
Great vid! However, the JD 1 - 3 maps are not quite remade "from the ground up". They use the same video recordings as the original, even on the ones that look completely different. So some maps, they decided to edit the footage in JD4's style instead of JD 1-3 style because the original video footage was good enough for them to do that.
got suggested this video like 8 mins after it went live, still watching but already subscribed! also i thought ur pronunciation of the chinese songs was fine! i appreciate a lot that you did as opposed to what a lot of ppl do: "im not even going to try to pronounce this"
I THINK venusb has that name, since there are 2 versions of the song, the one performed by Shocking Blue and the Bananarama version. I guess they put that so there's no confusion between artists.
There is a song called Venus that was supposed to be in Just Dance Wii, maybe the B was put in to differentiate the two? B could also stand for Bananarama, the artist.
17:12 (Unseen parts of the map) Just wanted to add this on for fun; I don't even know why I noticed this, but in the original choreography for Rock'n'Roll (Will Take You to the Mountains) for Just Dance 4, the coach freezes at the end of the song after they strike the last golden move. However, in a mashup of the same song, they use the original coach for 3 of the moves. This includes the final move, which for whatever reason, the JD team forgot to freeze. So you see the original Rock'n'Roll coach panting and moving at the end of their song! The more you know~ ✨🌠
I remember when Ubisoft suddenly created these guidelines for players of Just Dance on how they would upload their footage of their gameplay to their channel. Like one rule is that the gameplay footage must be like on the side and much smaller in the video and the main focus is a footage of you/the player dancing on it. Most gameplay footage before that was uploaded here on TH-cam is just basically the Actual Gameplay footage captured from their console. I don't know why they would probably release that... Maybe Copyright concerns or whatever.
Omg!! So cool that CUTIE HONEY - by Kumi Koda is in Just Dance Japan! If I had known when I had access to a Wii that played backups I totally wouldn't have given it a shot, I love her cover of that song.
i was OBSESSED with just dance as a kid i would exclusively listen to music by watching the just dance versions lmaoo also your mandarin pronunciation was really good!!! I'm impressed that you read all the Chinese names instead of just showing them on screen and saying the english translation
this vid made me realize that some kpop songs that i listen to are on just dance & i never knew omg 😭💗💗 like kara’s “mister” & “go go summer” also f(x)’s “4 walls” & t-ara’s “bo peep bo peep” lolol tysm for making this video! i love icebergs and this is def one of my favorite ones i ever watched :D
Wow all I can say is a job well done! I have been a hard core fan of this game since the beginning and you were able to get everything about the series especially deeper down 😭
i just miss mashups in general. they were such a good way to see coaches in previous games without having to rely on subscription services or old games. plus when they started adding themes to them they became even cooler
Wanted to add a few In JD2014 one wave of DLC was leaked a month early, including Applause Official Choreography and #THATPOWER on-stage In Greatest Hits, you could get Baby Girl and Katti Kalandal with different codes on your controller like with Barbra Straisand Exreme In JD2014, We Can't Stop was occasionally made available for minutes at a time randomly, but was never officially released And the numerous Beta songs that were missed, like Man Down
great video! as a just dancer myself, there is a LOT of information that was really well covered! when i finish the video i will add more information to this comment relating to the video!
I’m honestly just surprised that Bboom Bboom wasn’t mentioned in this. Especially with its assets being reused for a different song, it was the first leak I had heard about
This video was super interesting! I didn’t think there would be a just dance iceberg made but I am glad you made one as there is so much interesting stuff I didn’t know about!
This video is what inspired me to look into mods, and 2 months later, I made my own mod! It's currently in open beta and I'm trying to get to 70 songs, if anyone has suggestions, send them here (not sending link as it might count as self promo)
First i wanna say i loved this video and thank you for all the work u put into it. Secondly... Was anyone else incredibly scared of the just dance coaches when they were a kid?? Like i remember wanting to cry when I did the im an albatraoz dance. The neon white skin without a face creeped me OUT!!! (lowkey it was even scarier when they did show the face omfg)
I really really enjoyed the video, thank you for making on the Just Dance community, no one could ever guess we got so much going on 😁 And I’m glad to be helpful at 6:40 🥺
Great video! I think you did a good job with these, though I do think you could have expanded upon many things. Here are some things you should probably mention in Part 2 (in no particular order): - JD3 Xbox 360 version differences - "Boy With Luv" Beta - "Man Down" Beta - "Respect" Beta - "The Sweet Escape" Beta - "So Good" Beta - "All About That Bass" beta coach - "Barbie Girl" beta coach - "Disturbia" beta coreography - "Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim was scrapped from JD4 - "Invencible" by Aneea was scrapped from JD4 - Aneea song Code Names - Brand Collaborations (Though you did talk about Coca-Cola): ** Cheetos ("You Make Me Feel..." and "Brand New Start") *** Chester Cheetah in "You Make Me Feel..." ** Garnier ("Safe and Sound") ** Popchips ("Waking Up In Vegas") - Target & Best Buy Exclusives - "Part of Me" difficulty Decrease - "Built for This" scrapped alternate version - "Nice For What" - "We Can't Stop" JD2014 version - Si'Ha Nova name origin - "Dummy" Party Master Mode (JD2014) - "I Love It" VIP Routine with Katy Perry - "Mambo No. 5 (A Little Bit of Monika)" and "Moving on Up" being covered in Just Dance Summer: Party - TheFairyDina in "Toxic" - "Umbrella" is rare in the PAL Wii version of JD4 - Songs without remakes ("Groove is in the Heart", "Barbra Streisand/Extreme" et.c) - DualShock controller (JD2014) - Songs being moved to the next game ("We No Speak Americano" "In the Hall of the Pixel King", "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie" etc.) * "Dame tu Cosita" being moved to Unlimited due to backlash - Just Dance NEXT (Original name for JD2023 Edition) - JD1 only uses two dancers to portray the coaches. - DLCs for JD4 to JD2015 being removed from the PS3 and PS4 stores
I'm actually interested in the Demo discs of Just Dance. At least Just dance 1 and 2 have a a demo disc, with the former having its rom being accessible in the internet
nice video! I think the B in VenusB refers to Banarama, the group who plays it. Maybe to not be confused with Lady Gaga's Venus (although I don't know if this one was in that game)
My very first rhythm game, I’ve become more of a stickler for DDR lore but it’s always great to see more coverage on the lore this game had!! Great vid!! :)
I've been hesitant to click on this ever since I wasn't able to get JD2023 after so many years of being with this community (Xbox 360, PS4, and Xbox One compatibility discontinued, anyone?) I don't regret clicking on the video. This is *painfully* accurate. I can still remember the modding drama re. Just Dance Hits, and I've stayed away from the darkest depths of the JD Mod community ever since.
One interesting thing that wasn't mentioned was songs that were scrapped in earlier years and then had new releases either with more polish or an entirely different concept: There was a Katy Perry VIP for the song 'I Love It' that seemed to not come to fruition. Run the World (Girls) was intended to release in JD 2021, but was held back to 2022 and a lot of songs got delayed or scrapped and later released in just dance 2023, like 'Driver's licence' (Originally going to be in JD2022), Boy with Luv (Originally going to appear in JD2020 with different coaches and map), and Rather Be (Originally going to appear in JD 2015, there is little to no information about it but it is safe to assume it was also going to have a very different appearance). A more recent iteration of this is Sweet Dreams that seems to be featured in the background of 'If you want to party' in JD 2023, but has not been released yet, and 'Love again', which is also referenced in advertising and early promotion for JD 2023, but has not yet been released, however both of these choreographies in full are leaked online.
Just Dance is one of the things that makes me proud to be french along with bread, our memes and munster. Also, love this video, you must've put a huge amount of work in it !
Man, I wish In the Hall of the Pixel King kept its old design, it looked so genuinely video gamelike, kinda like the BIT.TRIP series. The new one looks like what video games look like in kids cartoons.
Nice video! I do wish you had mentioned one thing that a lot of people might not know about: the six-person choreography to Kiss You in JD2014, exclusive to the Xbox One. Also, the only six-coach routine in the entire series.
This is wild. I clicked this video because Just Dance lore fascinates me. And there was the music in the background. Music I recognised but could not tell where from. It was from some distant forgotten memory. It puzzled me until I saw the name of one song crop up at a chapter change. My entire childhood has come back, I used to play the crap out of theme hospital.
this is how i found out satellite was PAL exclusive! i loved playing that one as a kid (big eurovision fan i guess) i only ever played 1-4 and i dont really know anything from after that. super interesting video!
More things to talk about: - Beginner: Beginner by AKB48 was originally meant to be released for just dance wii 2, but it got scrapped. Some people say is that it got scrapped due to the controversial PV of the song, but it isnt really accurate since there's no evidence of the reason why this map got scrapped in the first place. The only snippet of this map would be a youtube video, and the full map has not been leaked. - Korean Just Dance 3: The Korean Version of Just dance 3 *Does* exist but it is very obscure, having zero gameplay of this specific game, Not sure if this could have some korean songs on this specific version of the game, Who knows. - KPOP Dance Festival: A similar thing about this is KPOP Dance festival, Which was only released in korea on the wii, While there IS Gameplay videos on youtube, not much people really know about this game, probably because it was only released in one region only and nowhere else. - Sweet Dreams: Sweet dreams was a beta song that was meant to be released in just dance 2023, But it got delayed and reimplemented now as "Darkest hour" In just dance 2024, I'm sure that this song got reimpletemented due to copyright reasons. Funnily enough, the community was not happy about this change because this map and choreography was made for sweet dreams. - White joycons: A weird thing about Just dance 2017 on the switch is that when you're selecting a controller type. (either a joycon or a phone) You would see white joycons, which is funny because there are no white joycons for the nintendo switch. (And no the OLED Joycons dont count because that came in like 2022) - Bald Avatar Glitch: another weird thing about just dance 2017 on the switch would be that sometimes, when you load a unlimited song, a yellow bald avatar would flash during the song, making the song unplayable. Its kind of a mystery why this glitch even happens on the switch, but yeah if that happens just restart the console. - You're on my mind Original Choreo: The Just dance 2015 Mash-up only song "You're on my mind" was going to have a original choreo and map, but it possibly never released and only had the mash-up, while there could be some evidence of this original choreo, the only evidence would be a new song being a mash up without a original choreo.
ICONIC. Trying to remember if there was anything you could mention that you didn't hit here hmmmm - all that comes to mind is the bizarre history of horrible song covers and the one or two times where they revealed that a song wouldn't be a cover and it ended up being a cover anyway in the final release - also the times when a song got fake leaked and ended up being in a later game anyway (dragostea din tei JD2014 comes to mind) also just the history of all the WEIRD leaks that most of us just believed for some reason early on lmao OOOH also those behind the scenes they did for the gameplays in JD2016 and then literally never did again (like on the gameplay videos themselves they would talk a bit about the map/idea beforehand or after the gameplay trailer)
also maps that were in the promotional material for a game but didn't release until quite a bit after a game's launch like Sax in JD2018 also that Dame Tu Cosita song that got removed from the main game of JD2018? because it was inappropriate but it still made it in to unlimited so ????? also that Drake song that got erased from existence fairly soon after the JD2019 release also the uncanny valley of the cgi dancers (shaky shaky, chandelier, bangarang, etc.)
also in the remakes for the old maps in unlimited, some of the choreo take versions changed? like the Move Your Feet guy now messes up one of the moves towards the end, or does it differently or something like that
idek much about just dance aside from teacher playing youtube videos of just dance back at like grade 1 (which will be a memory that will stick forever), cool vid.
I would love to see Down Under by Men at Work to be featured. If it's not released i would love to see a song of where A Car (or a Holden Ute) is the Coach instead of a human. (although i'm not really a fan of The Just Dance games)
For your next Iceberg: Beyoncé had plan her own "just dance" but not with ubisoft. This was cancel and there was a legal battle between the game company and beyoncee settle outside court. MikeMics talk about it in his video about celebrity games and apps but you can find deeper source elsewhere.
I remember seeing somewhere that Good Girl is not available in every version of the game, but i do have this song on my JD4, but i was so used of hearing ppl saying "this thing is exclusive for this version" and it never was the ver that i own, i thought it was fake news lmao
4:28 Jai-Ho is one of the few to have gotten a true remake since it was one of the first to be, the others got more of a « remaster » because they got lazy as usual
I need to point out some stuff you missed too -2015 cannot be played with the controller app anymore -The just dance china version has jd2015 and jd2017 versions but jd2020c is the one used as a base now. -mods are also popular for putting in new songs like fanmade dances but sometimes jokingly -the baby one more time beta was originally made to be the base routine instead of the dance crew, also some footage was seen through the promotion for jd3 to guess what dancer was for each song -most routines that are beta will never return unless ubisoft remakes the whole dance. -besides the replacing songs with ubi made songs, sometimes ubisoft removes the covers of original songs to unlimited or jd+ like toxic or mambo n.5 -astylia, is helpful to the lore and also the jd team released a lore video recently -most of the doftw hacks were by yunyl, devd, mitchy or more hackers which are infamous in the community with discord servers. -the daddy jd2 version was never meant to be danced to, it was only made to be promotional content -the creativity workshop was meant to pop jd2015 more, but you can see mostly i love it was the one to come out of it -closer was a jd2018 beta as well -the radical beta was leaked fully by "keloke" and was removed for the bg being to bright and seizure inducing, the sorry beta was removed due to the limit of most maps being 2 alternatives and ubi didn't know what to do with it, titanium alt was removed for the bg being seizure inducing too -Yunyl, devd, mitchy, keloke, and another one i can't remember the name of. -go to jddanceh's channel and you can see her attacking me for no reason, as well as a video from jyp showing how dense they are, with others like potatoland, invaulted, hugostardance, and more being drama inducing -whatsapp remix became a fake leak in jyp's server after being made by a youtuber -the baby delivered thing could've been something to lore, though something interesting was brought up recently of how the song Veuguls by K3 in jd2023, one of the coaches did the dance while pregnant but the book was made before jd2023 -One more thing, there's multiple rip off games of just dance made because of how popular it is
the dotw hacks including "lipsi ha", "suck my big fat lipsi...", & «только он» are references to a Russian artist called instasamka to her songs lipsi ha and moneyken love just thighs this was interesting bc she is my fav Russian artist :))
corrections (as per usual):
> "VenusB" could potentially be because of the cover artist's name being "Bananarama," or the fact that jdwii also had a song called "Venus" that was a beta that was never added
> the french company daddy make sugar, not soap (hence the funny name of “sugar daddy”). i always thought i heard it was soap, but nope. it’s sugar
> the “DOTW/WDF hacks” label on the image is misspelled as “DOTW/WDC”. don’t know how i missed that
> radical’s beta alt HAS been leaked in full. i swear when writing and even when editing i tried to find it, and came up with nothing. yet literally right now i found it within 2 seconds of google searching. i simply can’t explain my methods
> daddy cool is in the credits of jdwii2 potentially because it's sampled in another song (age age every night?)
> anja and annea are both pronounced the same, /ə•ni•yə/. don’t ask me how “j” makes an /i/ sound, it just apparently does
> several betas have recently leaked. these include in the hall of the pixel king (in an actual watchable format) as well as sayonara
> the WDF VIP of tyler oakley and jessie j has been found
> poker face is now officially being added to just dance 2025 edition, albeit with a brand new map

To be frank, with how Michael Jackson's reputation fell after his death (especially after **that** documentary) I don't think Ubisoft is eager to licence his songs to be put in Just Dance Unlimited. Also, it would involve negociating with Yoni Jayl (who is the main dancer) but it would be hard since he left Just Dance team around 2018...
Yoni is only the dancer. Ubisoft doesn't need his permission to put the Michael jackson songs in just dance + or unlimited. They just need the music licences. Aland also yoni has been in lots of other just dance maps. Like the other side that is a jd2014 dlc. Thats on unlimited
ive always wanted to watch a video like this 😭 like digging up just dances secrets and stuff
Right since i was in middle school
Fun Fact: Satellite was actually the song used for Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2010, winning the contest with 246 points.
Great vid! However, the JD 1 - 3 maps are not quite remade "from the ground up". They use the same video recordings as the original, even on the ones that look completely different.
So some maps, they decided to edit the footage in JD4's style instead of JD 1-3 style because the original video footage was good enough for them to do that.
yeah, i just meant the backgrounds and pictograms and everything were basically made new, but the actual coach stayed the same
got suggested this video like 8 mins after it went live, still watching but already subscribed!
also i thought ur pronunciation of the chinese songs was fine! i appreciate a lot that you did as opposed to what a lot of ppl do: "im not even going to try to pronounce this"
I THINK venusb has that name, since there are 2 versions of the song, the one performed by Shocking Blue and the Bananarama version. I guess they put that so there's no confusion between artists.
Just because you refuse to do any research on that movie - they danced to feel this moment.
JUST DANCE IS MY SPECIAL INTEREST THIS IS MY TYPE OF CONTENT
There is a song called Venus that was supposed to be in Just Dance Wii, maybe the B was put in to differentiate the two?
B could also stand for Bananarama, the artist.
17:12 (Unseen parts of the map)
Just wanted to add this on for fun; I don't even know why I noticed this, but in the original choreography for Rock'n'Roll (Will Take You to the Mountains) for Just Dance 4, the coach freezes at the end of the song after they strike the last golden move.
However, in a mashup of the same song, they use the original coach for 3 of the moves. This includes the final move, which for whatever reason, the JD team forgot to freeze. So you see the original Rock'n'Roll coach panting and moving at the end of their song!
The more you know~ ✨🌠
I remember when Ubisoft suddenly created these guidelines for players of Just Dance on how they would upload their footage of their gameplay to their channel. Like one rule is that the gameplay footage must be like on the side and much smaller in the video and the main focus is a footage of you/the player dancing on it. Most gameplay footage before that was uploaded here on TH-cam is just basically the Actual Gameplay footage captured from their console. I don't know why they would probably release that... Maybe Copyright concerns or whatever.
I played the Michael Jackson game as a kid.
Ironically, I got my highest score from playing the hardest role (the lead in Thriller).

Hi
Omg!! So cool that CUTIE HONEY - by Kumi Koda is in Just Dance Japan! If I had known when I had access to a Wii that played backups I totally wouldn't have given it a shot, I love her cover of that song.
Jd was named after the lady gaga song, and theres a character called icana shard which is the coach for “just dance”
i was OBSESSED with just dance as a kid i would exclusively listen to music by watching the just dance versions lmaoo
also your mandarin pronunciation was really good!!! I'm impressed that you read all the Chinese names instead of just showing them on screen and saying the english translation
great video! it's nice to see youtubers making vids on jd, there's so much behind a simple dance game
Seeing you speak chinese just made my night lol
this vid made me realize that some kpop songs that i listen to are on just dance & i never knew omg 😭💗💗 like kara’s “mister” & “go go summer” also f(x)’s “4 walls” & t-ara’s “bo peep bo peep” lolol tysm for making this video! i love icebergs and this is def one of my favorite ones i ever watched :D
Wow all I can say is a job well done! I have been a hard core fan of this game since the beginning and you were able to get everything about the series especially deeper down 😭
Man I just really miss party master mode, it was awesome being able to make your own mashups
i just miss mashups in general. they were such a good way to see coaches in previous games without having to rely on subscription services or old games. plus when they started adding themes to them they became even cooler
Wanted to add a few
In JD2014 one wave of DLC was leaked a month early, including Applause Official Choreography and #THATPOWER on-stage
In Greatest Hits, you could get Baby Girl and Katti Kalandal with different codes on your controller like with Barbra Straisand Exreme
In JD2014, We Can't Stop was occasionally made available for minutes at a time randomly, but was never officially released
And the numerous Beta songs that were missed, like Man Down
yes i was surprised they didn’t bring up man down. but what are the codes for just dance greatest hits ???? i’m about to put those in right now 😭
@@gabesvideosofficial Up-Up-Right-Right-Down-Down-Left-Left
UP, UP, LEFT, LEFT, DOWN, DOWN, RIGHT, RIGHT
great video! as a just dancer myself, there is a LOT of information that was really well covered! when i finish the video i will add more information to this comment relating to the video!
I’m honestly just surprised that Bboom Bboom wasn’t mentioned in this. Especially with its assets being reused for a different song, it was the first leak I had heard about
im so happy someone finally made an iceberg of my childhood game omg
This video was super interesting! I didn’t think there would be a just dance iceberg made but I am glad you made one as there is so much interesting stuff I didn’t know about!
This video is what inspired me to look into mods, and 2 months later, I made my own mod! It's currently in open beta and I'm trying to get to 70 songs, if anyone has suggestions, send them here (not sending link as it might count as self promo)
First i wanna say i loved this video and thank you for all the work u put into it. Secondly... Was anyone else incredibly scared of the just dance coaches when they were a kid?? Like i remember wanting to cry when I did the im an albatraoz dance. The neon white skin without a face creeped me OUT!!! (lowkey it was even scarier when they did show the face omfg)
I really really enjoyed the video, thank you for making on the Just Dance community, no one could ever guess we got so much going on 😁 And I’m glad to be helpful at 6:40 🥺
This was a very well made video, props to you dude!
I only discovered ur channel today through my recommendations, and I already like ur charisma. Feels very Scott the Wozish.

I'm actually interested in the Demo discs of Just Dance. At least Just dance 1 and 2 have a a demo disc, with the former having its rom being accessible in the internet
If I had a youtube channel, it would just be nimk’s channel. that’s how awesome this channel is.
nice video! I think the B in VenusB refers to Banarama, the group who plays it. Maybe to not be confused with Lady Gaga's Venus (although I don't know if this one was in that game)
I've been a just dance fan for YEARS. I've always been interested in unknown coaches/beta gameplay. Anyways amazing job!
My very first rhythm game, I’ve become more of a stickler for DDR lore but it’s always great to see more coverage on the lore this game had!! Great vid!! :)
can i just say, you dug DEEEEP into this icebreg (jd vitalty school beta refrence was not intended at all). keep on doing more plz. loved your content
I've been hesitant to click on this ever since I wasn't able to get JD2023 after so many years of being with this community (Xbox 360, PS4, and Xbox One compatibility discontinued, anyone?)
I don't regret clicking on the video. This is *painfully* accurate. I can still remember the modding drama re. Just Dance Hits, and I've stayed away from the darkest depths of the JD Mod community ever since.
Thank you for having captions :)
This just got recommended to me, and I love it haha, I never knew the Just Dance lore went this deep!
One interesting thing that wasn't mentioned was songs that were scrapped in earlier years and then had new releases either with more polish or an entirely different concept:
There was a Katy Perry VIP for the song 'I Love It' that seemed to not come to fruition.
Run the World (Girls) was intended to release in JD 2021, but was held back to 2022
and a lot of songs got delayed or scrapped and later released in just dance 2023, like 'Driver's licence' (Originally going to be in JD2022), Boy with Luv (Originally going to appear in JD2020 with different coaches and map), and Rather Be (Originally going to appear in JD 2015, there is little to no information about it but it is safe to assume it was also going to have a very different appearance).
A more recent iteration of this is Sweet Dreams that seems to be featured in the background of 'If you want to party' in JD 2023, but has not been released yet, and 'Love again', which is also referenced in advertising and early promotion for JD 2023, but has not yet been released, however both of these choreographies in full are leaked online.
This is such a throwback for me, I used to play just dance religiously from 2012 to 2018.
Just Dance is one of the things that makes me proud to be french along with bread, our memes and munster. Also, love this video, you must've put a huge amount of work in it !
That was great, I learned a lot new stuff about one of my favorite games ❤
thank you for making a vid on this community! i used to be a part of it, thankfully i'm not anymore
I used to be obsessed with every single one of these games when I was really little. This makes me nostalgic
for the just dance workshop, I think one of them ended up being bad romance
Excellent video ! This deserves more views !!
this proofs that everything can have an iceberg
Man, I wish In the Hall of the Pixel King kept its old design, it looked so genuinely video gamelike, kinda like the BIT.TRIP series. The new one looks like what video games look like in kids cartoons.
Never played a just dance in my life, this seems like an amazing use of my time
Note about poker face:
It's coming on Just Dance 2025!
Nice video! I do wish you had mentioned one thing that a lot of people might not know about: the six-person choreography to Kiss You in JD2014, exclusive to the Xbox One. Also, the only six-coach routine in the entire series.
i totally forgot about the 6p version of kiss you 😭 in my defense, i am a nintendo JD player so i never really knew about it
Woah this game was literally my childhood and it was repressed to the depths of my mind up until stumbling onto this video
This is wild. I clicked this video because Just Dance lore fascinates me. And there was the music in the background. Music I recognised but could not tell where from.
It was from some distant forgotten memory. It puzzled me until I saw the name of one song crop up at a chapter change.
My entire childhood has come back, I used to play the crap out of theme hospital.
Also crazy little thing by Anja was originally called ‘sexy little thing’
this is how i found out satellite was PAL exclusive! i loved playing that one as a kid (big eurovision fan i guess)
i only ever played 1-4 and i dont really know anything from after that. super interesting video!
yesss the usa didn’t get it until like 2019 or 2020 in just dance unlimited
New subscriber 🎉, the greatest video about the iceberg tbh , actually radical alt beta, has been leaked full with titanium alt
great video and mad respect for the subtitle work (using IPA for the live/live pronunciation difference?! phenomenal)
i needed man down beta so bad, it really has some depth in it too
Tbh I expected a segment on the Drake song that was in 2019 but got removed from the game a week after its release, and never came back
Great video. As someone who’s been a just dance fan since I was little this was really interesting ❤ keep it up !
More things to talk about:
- Beginner: Beginner by AKB48 was originally meant to be released for just dance wii 2, but it got scrapped.
Some people say is that it got scrapped due to the controversial PV of the song, but it isnt really accurate since there's no evidence of the reason why this map got scrapped in the first place.
The only snippet of this map would be a youtube video, and the full map has not been leaked.
- Korean Just Dance 3: The Korean Version of Just dance 3 *Does* exist but it is very obscure, having zero gameplay of this specific game, Not sure if this could have some korean songs on this specific version of the game, Who knows.
- KPOP Dance Festival: A similar thing about this is KPOP Dance festival, Which was only released in korea on the wii,
While there IS Gameplay videos on youtube, not much people really know about this game, probably because it was only released in one region only and nowhere else.
- Sweet Dreams: Sweet dreams was a beta song that was meant to be released in just dance 2023, But it got delayed and reimplemented now as "Darkest hour" In just dance 2024, I'm sure that this song got reimpletemented due to copyright reasons. Funnily enough, the community was not happy about this change because this map and choreography was made for sweet dreams.
- White joycons: A weird thing about Just dance 2017 on the switch is that when you're selecting a controller type. (either a joycon or a phone) You would see white joycons, which is funny because there are no white joycons for the nintendo switch. (And no the OLED Joycons dont count because that came in like 2022)
- Bald Avatar Glitch: another weird thing about just dance 2017 on the switch would be that sometimes, when you load a unlimited song, a yellow bald avatar would flash during the song, making the song unplayable. Its kind of a mystery why this glitch even happens on the switch, but yeah if that happens just restart the console.
- You're on my mind Original Choreo: The Just dance 2015 Mash-up only song "You're on my mind" was going to have a original choreo and map, but it possibly never released and only had the mash-up, while there could be some evidence of this original choreo, the only evidence would be a new song being a mash up without a original choreo.
ICONIC. Trying to remember if there was anything you could mention that you didn't hit here hmmmm - all that comes to mind is the bizarre history of horrible song covers and the one or two times where they revealed that a song wouldn't be a cover and it ended up being a cover anyway in the final release - also the times when a song got fake leaked and ended up being in a later game anyway (dragostea din tei JD2014 comes to mind) also just the history of all the WEIRD leaks that most of us just believed for some reason early on lmao
OOOH also those behind the scenes they did for the gameplays in JD2016 and then literally never did again (like on the gameplay videos themselves they would talk a bit about the map/idea beforehand or after the gameplay trailer)
also maps that were in the promotional material for a game but didn't release until quite a bit after a game's launch like Sax in JD2018
also that Dame Tu Cosita song that got removed from the main game of JD2018? because it was inappropriate but it still made it in to unlimited so ?????
also that Drake song that got erased from existence fairly soon after the JD2019 release
also the uncanny valley of the cgi dancers (shaky shaky, chandelier, bangarang, etc.)
also in the remakes for the old maps in unlimited, some of the choreo take versions changed? like the Move Your Feet guy now messes up one of the moves towards the end, or does it differently or something like that
idek much about just dance aside from teacher playing youtube videos of just dance back at like grade 1 (which will be a memory that will stick forever), cool vid.
This was a lot more interesting than I thought it would be
I would love to see Down Under by Men at Work to be featured.
If it's not released i would love to see a song of where A Car (or a Holden Ute) is the Coach instead of a human.
(although i'm not really a fan of The Just Dance games)
For your next Iceberg: Beyoncé had plan her own "just dance" but not with ubisoft. This was cancel and there was a legal battle between the game company and beyoncee settle outside court. MikeMics talk about it in his video about celebrity games and apps but you can find deeper source elsewhere.
I remember seeing somewhere that Good Girl is not available in every version of the game, but i do have this song on my JD4, but i was so used of hearing ppl saying "this thing is exclusive for this version" and it never was the ver that i own, i thought it was fake news lmao
It could be that "VenusB" is named this way because the version used is the cover made by Bananarama, of the older rock song made by Shocking Blue?
bro your Chinese pronouncing is awesome
4:28 Jai-Ho is one of the few to have gotten a true remake since it was one of the first to be, the others got more of a « remaster » because they got lazy as usual
And recolors
if you ever decide to expand on this iceberg, id like to see you talk about whatever the hell happened to so good by B.o.B.
I need to point out some stuff you missed too
-2015 cannot be played with the controller app anymore
-The just dance china version has jd2015 and jd2017 versions but jd2020c is the one used as a base now.
-mods are also popular for putting in new songs like fanmade dances but sometimes jokingly
-the baby one more time beta was originally made to be the base routine instead of the dance crew, also some footage was seen through the promotion for jd3 to guess what dancer was for each song
-most routines that are beta will never return unless ubisoft remakes the whole dance.
-besides the replacing songs with ubi made songs, sometimes ubisoft removes the covers of original songs to unlimited or jd+ like toxic or mambo n.5
-astylia, is helpful to the lore and also the jd team released a lore video recently
-most of the doftw hacks were by yunyl, devd, mitchy or more hackers which are infamous in the community with discord servers.
-the daddy jd2 version was never meant to be danced to, it was only made to be promotional content
-the creativity workshop was meant to pop jd2015 more, but you can see mostly i love it was the one to come out of it
-closer was a jd2018 beta as well
-the radical beta was leaked fully by "keloke" and was removed for the bg being to bright and seizure inducing, the sorry beta was removed due to the limit of most maps being 2 alternatives and ubi didn't know what to do with it, titanium alt was removed for the bg being seizure inducing too
-Yunyl, devd, mitchy, keloke, and another one i can't remember the name of.
-go to jddanceh's channel and you can see her attacking me for no reason, as well as a video from jyp showing how dense they are, with others like potatoland, invaulted, hugostardance, and more being drama inducing
-whatsapp remix became a fake leak in jyp's server after being made by a youtuber
-the baby delivered thing could've been something to lore, though something interesting was brought up recently of how the song Veuguls by K3 in jd2023, one of the coaches did the dance while pregnant but the book was made before jd2023
-One more thing, there's multiple rip off games of just dance made because of how popular it is
Just Dance is one of my favorite franchises of all time. Well, until 2017, that is.
YAASSS THE FEKA LEKA REPRESENTATION 😍😍
IKRRRRRR
Got to give props for the theme hospital OST as the background music
Good news! Poker face has been found in the files of just dance with a code name (among others such as party in the usa) for just dance 2025!!!
the dotw hacks including "lipsi ha", "suck my big fat lipsi...", & «только он» are references to a Russian artist called instasamka to her songs lipsi ha and moneyken love just thighs this was interesting bc she is my fav Russian artist :))
Dude this must be a Mandela Effect because i could've SWORE i remembered dancing to "Poker Face" on Just Dance
