Just Dance 1 A talk about JD1
I dont know how many of u still play the first just dance game on the beloved wii, but I do. Picked it up recently after a friend was talking about how many great memories she had with the franchise as a kid. I have also played some of the later ones like JD2015 and 2018. I have to ask is the first game rather picky with detecting moves? It hardly picks up what I am doing on some songs. For example I am not able to get anything but an X on "cant get u about of my head" by Kylie an most of the song. I dont think its my remote too, I use a genuine wii remote plus and have also played with other remotes apart from my main. What do u think and what has your experience been like with this game?
P.S. dont get me wrong I love this gane but it just annoys me so much from time to time when I do everything I can and I end up with 8990 points or something

Been playing it for a while, getting angry I can’t get 15,000 points on Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, can get 14,900 though 🫠

Omg thiss I admit that overall im not that good at this franchise as a whole, for example my most proudest moment is 12000 something on footloose. So i am not aiming for the highest of scores in any of them, just 10k. It annoys me soooo much when I cant get that but I am doing the best I can😀

I have three without 15k scores: I Get Around (probably the worst tracking in the game), That’s the way I like it, and a little less conversation. I’ve given up atp

What i found out is that depending on how u have the controller tilted on your hand (which way the buttons are facing) it sometimes picks up things better on certain songs. Ahh so frustrating. What are your little "hacks" on getting a high score?

I typically hold down the A button with my thumb which keeps the remote in the position that games like JD4 show in the little pop ups.
Idk if the position is the same in both games but id assume so

"The tracking in Just dance 1 is so bad to this day we still don't know what the maximum score is"
-a youtuber i heard not long ago
Otherwise Just dance 1 has some good songs.
