Zumba Burn it Up! is the latest entry in the Zumba video game series and it's arriving on the Switch on 19th November in North America and 22nd November in Europe. If you haven't heard about Zumba before, it's described as a "global movement" bringing both fun and fitness to over 15-million people across 186 countries.
Burn it Up! - published by 505 Games and developed by Kuju Games (Guitar Hero Live) - invites up to four dancing enthusiasts to join in on the fun with high-energy choreography to over 30 hip-shaking jams. Expect to hear hits from popular artists such as Cardi B, Daddy Yankee and Bomba Estéreo.
Here's a bit more information about it from the press release:
Using the Nintendo Switch™ Joy-Con controllers to track movement, Zumba® Burn it Up! rewards dancers for their energy and flair, encouraging players to ‘be a little extra’ no matter where they are. Dancers will follow real-life superstar Zumba® instructors on-screen across three exhilarating game modes: ‘Single Song,’ ‘Full Class’ (offered in short, medium and long sessions) and ‘Fitness Party’, accommodating up to 4 dancers in Single Song and Full Class.

Looks like your kind of game @Anti-matter. You like rhythm and dancing games like this, right?
Just when I thought Zumba games were dead.
No Gloria Estefan, no buy.
@Heavyarms55
Well, depend on the songlist.
As a DDR player for almost 16 year, i prefer songs like from Bemani rhythm games (DDR, Para Para Paradise, DrumMania, Beatmania IIDX) created by Japanese artists.
Zumba games on Switch will likely 100% Western licence songs with No songs created by Japanese artist. It will looks no difference with Just Dance.
I will take a look the songlist first.
Btw, if i see an epic song like this on Zumba games, i will consider it.
Oh, actually i prefer Dance Evolution by Konami with catchy DDR songs than Just Dance games.
Yeah nah. Those outfits should be illegal. And anyone that smiles that much has a body in their basement.
I bought a Switch specifically for this game.
@Anti-Matter Yeah I suck at rhythm games but I can still enjoy them if I like the music. I can understand how important that is.

" I misread the title as "Zombie Burn it Up"
Zombie Dance ?
Zombie Burn it Up sounds like it could be a fun game.
Eew. This will get old fast.
The silhouette/stylised aesthetics of Just Dance lends itself better to repeat playthroughs.
I read the title on my phone and thought it said Zombies Burn It Up. Then I couldn't figure out why they'd used that picture, then I realised my mistake... and I was a little disappointed. (I have only just woken up).
Anyone else remember how, at least in the UK, Zumba Fitness and it's sequel absolutely dominated the Wii sales charts for years? I swear Zumba or Zumba 2 was the top selling Wii game from from 2010 until they stopped releasing sales figures for Wii games.
Cool, finally another dancing game besides Just Dance. Price is a bit high but I'm sure it'll be half that in short order. Will pick it up then!
Has a physical release listed at Gamestop in North America, if anyone cares.
Okay, obviously not everyone's cup of tea here, but Zumba is an absolutely fantastic workout, and Zumba Fitness on Wii gave us some good times. Not a full price buy, but I'll buy it used or on sale.
If there is a demo, I will try it.
Ha. Well, I am on a bit of a fitness drive (kinda, not doing well) so this could be for me! This and classic DOOM. I’m noting if not eclectic
I always though Zumba was some kind of fitness thing but this makes it look like a cult...
@Heavyarms55 OMG is he still in this forum ? Lol forcing to show his personal perversion in here didn't help him being popular in a nice way. Guess people should learn from mistakes so I hope he/they or whatever learns from that.
@Anti-Matter lol can't imagine you dancing like that even if it doesn't sound that surprising. Cheers

"lol can't imagine you dancing like that even if it doesn't sound that surprising. "
That was ME playing DDR X2 with blindfold.
Er... Perversion ? 🤨
Chibi Six pack guys are my signature.
But, i didn't talk about perversion from my post above.
Are you still mad about me ?
@TidusUK @Anti-Matter What's the big deal about him, anyway? Shouldn't a grown adult be allowed to play what he likes?
