Sing Your Heart Out When Let's Sing 2021 Brings Current And Classic Hits To Switch

Definitely have more interest in the Queen game over this one. Although my other half would appreciate the Genesis song included here

Genesis - I Can't Dance... That's all cool and all, but do they have the guts to add their "Supper's Ready" epic? Or at least "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight"? Something like Let's Sing: Prog Edition? Also featuring songs by Marillion, King Crimson, Yes, Arena and so on. This would be the best Let's Sing game in existence!!!

Yeah, I'm kidding of course, unfortunately they would never do that: intelligent music doesn't bring in enough cash.

There simply isn't enough music to warrant a purchase.

There are millions of songs out there, I can't settle with 30.

These games are kinda pointless with the incredibly shallow amount of music they feature.

30 songs per instalment for these sorts of games is an absolutely pitiful selection (especially given that so much of the playlist will be comprised of modern pop trash). I understand that they go down in price quite quickly, but have they ever considered that these games can hold their value if they bothered to include both quality AND quantity?

I shudder to think of how ridiculously expensive the licensing costs would have been for GTA IV and GTA V's massive soundtracks, and the use of music in those games is arguably incidental to the experience, yet when a game is designed around the music, they decide to be frugal. Weird.

A CD+DVD compilation containing a similar number of songs usually costs around AU$30 here. It makes no sense that a game with a comparable number of songs costs more than double.

"30 international hits" doesn't sound great...maybe a short playlist where they throw in something Spanish or Korean.

Surely more songs would be better if you want to make new modes and playlist features?

I feel bad for Genesis being thrown into that group of "music".

They sould do like Playststion did with singstar, offer the app for free, or at a very cheap price, and create an extense library where we could buy a pack of songs or buy them individually

@Blizzia Exactly. There is an awesome karaoke app on the Japanese eshop that's free and you just buy daily, monthly, or yearly passes to access thousands of songs. I wish something like that existed for the west! My family would dive in immediately!

@RustedHero don't feel bad,it fits perfectly along with all the other dreck in this game.

30 tracks seems awfully short for me. It should have at least 99 tracks.

@RustedHero Just because Genesis are what you grew up with doesnt make them better than Panic! At The Disco or Billie Eilish, it also doesnt mean the modern artists arent music, it also doesnt even mean Genesis were good.
Panic! At The Disco wipe the floor with Genesis when it comes down to talent alone

@LilMuku Yeah, right. Probably the funniest comment I've seen in a while.

@NightBeast Yeah that was comedy gold. I'm not even a Genesis fan but I do have a lot of respect for Phil Collins. I don't want to turn this comment section into a music war I was just being a booger.

I just took over the Switch collection at my workplace (library) and this is going to go out at BotW levels (we have SIX copies and they’re all out right now) early on. I don’t know why, but the community loves the Let’s Sing and Let’s Dance games. It won’t have quite a much staying power though, so I’ll probably only buy two or three copies.

I like singing, but I do not require a game for it. Pass.

Eh, I’ll stick with my 16-year-old “Karaoke Revolution” on the original Xbox.

@NightBeast It’s ok musical elitism is something people grow out if when they’re 13 but somehow back inti when they’re 50
No shame in being either a child who knows nothing about music or an old person who knows nothing about this century

@LilMuku don’t get me wrong, man, and there’s no need to get personal. I’m not dissing Panic! At The Disco, in fact I listen to them quite often - especially when I want to listen to something poppy, straightforward and simple. But comparing them to Genesis (especially the early Genesis - with Hackett and Gabriel) is like comparing teenager’s DeviantArt drawings to Rembrandt (or Kramskoy for that matter).

@NightBeast I mean the two bands arent similar at all
But also, you can’t deny that Panic are objectively better at singing and playing
Also Panic arent any more or less pop than Genesis, which as far as I’ve heard were always just an average level band playing whatever was fashionable at the time

@LilMuku Well, no, you've probably only heard about one side of Genesis. Up 'till the Duke album they played epic and complex progressive rock with deep lyrics and complex themes. Albums like "Selling England By The Pound" and "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" are widely considered as some of the most intelligent and complex pieces in modern music. This is non-commercial music at it's finest - together with King Crimson, Marillion etc.

But yeah, you're right. That was exactly my point - you don't compare the two. They're completely different in almost every aspect - genre, harmony, composition, song structure, intent. Panic! At The Disco are good at what they're doing and kudos to them for that)

@NightBeast the comparison to King Crimson and Marillion sold me ngl
Might have to listen to early Genesis
