If you and your loved ones think you've got the X Factor, and if you're confident enough to actually show off your skills, you might want to boot up a copy of Let's Sing 2020 when it arrives on Switch later this year.
The latest in the series (Let's Sing 2019 released last year across Switch, Wii U and Wii) the 2020 edition will be releasing on 25th October alongside Nintendo Switch microphone bundles. Wii and Wii U appear to have been left out this year, with Switch and PS4 taking over.
The game will let you take to the stage as a solo superstar, or you can join up with friends if you prefer. You'll find modern songs like Ava Max's Sweet but Psycho, Lewis Capaldi's Someone You Loved, Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa's One Kiss and Rita Ora's Let You Love Me waiting for you, alongside classics like Robbie Williams with Angels or Spice Girls' Wannabe. It promises 30 international tracks in total.
In a nice touch, you don't actually have to have a mic at hand to play. If you'd rather save some cash, you can grab the standalone game and just use your smartphone to play; you'll need to download an app to sync things up (which we imagine will work just like recent Just Dance games) and you're good to go.
No screenshots or trailers have been released just yet, so we'll leave you with this feature list:
Features:
- Strong playlist with 30 international hits and original music videos
- Sing solo or up to four players
- Choose between within maximum of 4 Smartphones, 2 USB-Mics and 1 headset
- Five exciting game modes: 'Classic', 'Mixtape 2.0','feat.’, ‘Jukebox’, ‘World Contest’…
- No mic at hand? It doesn't matter - with the Let's Sing Microphone-App, you can turn your smartphone into a microphone in no time at all
- Climb the online leaderboard and get more song packs in the online store like ‘Best of 90’s’, ‘Party Classics’ and moreGame Modes:
· Classic: Perform solo or together with your friends. Hit the right notes can score the most points – can you crack the high score?
· Feat.: Find your perfect match! The better you sing together, the higher your "compatibility score" is. Singing with friends and family or also team up with your idol in the single-player mode.
· World Contest: Take on the world! Try to reach the top of the leaderboard or just have fun with your friends - choose a player you want to challenge and try to beat other singers online. The game shows the performance of the other players as if you were singing together.
· Mix Tape 2.0: Mix different song extracts together with this innovative game mode. Each mix is dynamically generated and thus guarantees a playlist that never repeats itself and a lot of fun. Create your own mixtapes with your favourite songs with the mixtape creator.
· Jukebox: Relax after your singing session with a list of songs for the next groovy party.
The game launches on Nintendo Switch on 25th October for £34.99. Mic bundles will launch slightly later on 15th November (one-mic bundles will cost £44.99, with two-mic bundles costing £54.99).

Why does that thumbnail look like an iCarly episode?
So I guess Just Dance 2020 is the last Wii game after all.
Not bringing this to Wii won't go so well with the casual crowd.
Juicy classics! No please!
Only if Simon Cowell berates my horrible singing.
Nothing says "juicy" like "Dua Lipa", "Rita Ora". I wonder why these games even bother to include these one-hit wonder "modern hits" — not even kids of the generation these songs are being released to care about these two and a half minute can-of-beans songs, never mind if they'll even remember them in two months when the songs become "old". These songs exist exclusively to be used in commercials, tourist gift shops, supermarkets, and as instrumentals in hotel elevators you're forced to listen to while looking around for the ice machine at two in the morning.
@Paraka Probably because it's just some generic teenybopper girls doing some generic besties pose.
RIP half of the Wii's remaining support
I want a Jim Steinman edition of these games.
@Majora101
It’s ok for people to like different things.
@Majora101 they probably can’t afford the rights to Rihanna, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga etc.
@Eddiezus Most likely the case. These songs are cheap to make, cheap to license.
@Fandabidozi I don't recall saying it wasn't — we are all capable of liking different things. That doesn't mean there isn't such a thing as good and bad music, however, and the artists I've mentioned are inarguably bad to the point that describing them (and many of their peers) as "artists" is a stretch of the term and a disservice to actual songwriters and musicians.
@Matroska I'm glad we can agree that the music of two forgettable late 2010's divas is sub-par, and I'm sorry you think I'm clueless and immature for expressing my thoughts in the comments section. In your defense, Milli Vanilli produced dozens of hit singles that entered the top five of the Billboard Hot 100, including three #1 hit singles from a single RIAA-certified 6x platinum album that spent forty-one weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Top 200, sold millions of full-price physical records (a sales metric of actual worth compared to today's streaming equivalent), and won a Grammy for Best New Artist, which they eventually had to return due to a controversy over the revelation they never actually sang on their own records and lip-synced during their live shows.
As it is in the film industry, the products with the most accolades often aren't necessarily the best. I say this as an Englishman with dual American citizenship who is in my early twenties who thinks that all countries matter and just wants to hear music with meaning that features a chorus that isn't comprised exclusively of vowels. For the record, I don't think The Monkees are the best example of a one-hit wonder from the sixties, as they were a manufactured pop group based on the Beatles made for a children's television show (and yet, their music is still better than Dua Lipa and Rita Ora). You were more likely to listen to the Rolling Stones, The Doors, or the Beatles during the late sixties.
@Majora101 I can't stand this music but you're coming across as clueless and immature. I just checked and Dua Lipa was the most streamed female artist in the UK in 2017, has had numerous top 10s, two number 1s, among about 30 award wins has won 2 Grammys and was the first ever female artist to be nominated for 5 or more Brit Awars in the same year. All that off only 1 album so far, it seems.
Something tells me you're either an American that thinks other countries don't matter, or guy that moans about all music after his early 20s being terrible yet has nostalgic songs from the 80s or 90s that were the one-hit wonders of their time, like people that grew up in the 60s liking the Monkees.
I thought I disagreed that were was such a thing as good and bad music. Then someone invoked The Doors.
@Matroska I’m with you, but don’t diss the Monkees.
