See, this is why server preservation is important.
This game/console's online features are no longer supported.
While this game/console's online features were once accessible, they are (as of November 19, 2018) no longer officially supported and online-exclusive features may be documented as now-unseen content.
So very stubbly.
This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

This page sucks.
If you could make it suck less, that would be awesome.
Specifically: It feels plagiarized from the Just Dance Wiki's article about the game's unused content. Rewording and re-organizing the article could be better.

Just Dance 2014 is the fifth game in the dance game series by Ubisoft, dropping the numerical title in favor of yearly releases similar to every EA Sports title ever. It's just like any other Just Dance game where you follow the moves of a person dancing.

Copacabana

Preview: ??? Song: ???

Copacabana by Barry Manilow was supposed to be in the game.[1] It was cut due to unknown reasons. The song was later added to Just Dance 2016.

Kiss You/Six-Player Alternate

  • Despite only appearing on the Xbox One version, files for the routine can be found in all consoles.

Man Down

Man Down by Rihanna was meant to be featured in the game, but was removed for unknown reasons. This can be told with the internal file of the cut-out dancers in Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke is referred to as mandown.png.ckd.

Club Can’t Handle Me

A routine for "Club Can’t Handle Me" by Flo Rida ft. David Guetta was made as a test routine by Ubisoft Pune and was likely never considered for the final game.

On The Floor

On the Floor was intended to return in Just Dance 2014 as a DLC, but the plan was ultimately scrapped for unknown reasons. This fact is proven by the following details:

  • In the Just Dance Now files, the menu icon has the glass effect that can be seen in all of the Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance Wii U menu icons (including the downloadable tracks for Just Dance 2014), despite the song not being featured in either game.
  • The .json file from the Just Dance Now servers is structured int the same way as those for Just Dance 2014 routines (including returning DLC’s), as the difficulty rating is in letters (in this case, "Easy") and a string called "NumCoach" can be found.

Robot Rock

Robot Rock by Daft Punk was originally meant to appear in the game, due to the internal filename of Nitro Bot being referred to as RobotRock. Strangely, the early song matches the routine perfectly.

For whatever reason before the game was released, it was switched to Nitro Bot

Run Dem Boyz

  • Run Dem Boyz by Anja featuring Sonja Blade was planned to be in the game, but the song was ultimately scrapped for unknown reasons, according to a post in Anja's official Facebook account where the now-deleted demo has Just Dance 2014 in the title.[2].
    • However, the song later got officially released on January 1st 2021; it was postponed due to Run Dem Boyz getting cut from the final game.

Safe and Sound

  • Safe and Sound has assets leftover inside the files of the PlayStation 3 version of the game,[3] despite the promotion the dance was made for not listing the console as one of the consoles the promotion was available on, although promotional media still featured screenshots of the dance being played on a PlayStation console.[4]

We Can't Stop

  • We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus was released on November 26, 2013 in the shop by accident, but it got removed short after. It is now a DLC for Just Dance 2015, although the dancer's color scheme and the background are changed.
    • With the use of a hacked Wii, instead of We Can't Stop appearing in the shop, there is a song called Dummy; if the player downloaded it, they would only get an empty dancer square.

Unused Textures

There are a couple of unused placeholder textures, suggesting the game was going to be called Just Dance 5.
