We Cheer: Namco Bandai To Also Bring It On On Wii

Namco Bandai To Also Bring It On On Wii

IT? WHICH IT? Namco Bandai is planning to bring its own cheerleading title to the Wii, trademarking We Cheer with the US Patent and Trademark Office this week and issuing a challenge to rival Wii cheering game, All-Star Cheerleading from THQ.

No word on release date or how closely it will tie into Namco Bandai's other "We" game, We Ski. We certainly hope its more in line with iNiS's Ouendan than, well, anything really. If this doesn't convince little girls with dreams of pyramid forming to start gaming, we really don't know what will.

Sounds horribly boring, and the pun is awful to boot.

I saw a Hannah Montanna game for the Wii today. The Wii is quickly becoming home to the vast majority of the worst games of all time.

I would buy the freeloader for Ouendan. Of course, Ouendan isn't about the cheering, that's just the mechanism by which you get people through their highly ridiculous problems.

@baked ham: The Hannah Montana Wii game needs one more review to be official, but it's currently averaging 64%. Not great, but far from the worst game of all time.

@Torgen thinks AAA means "Costs $60": Regardless of whether that game is any good for someone who it would appeal to, the Wii is home to so much licensed schlock, bullshit, and, yes, generally ass bad shit that it is home to some of the worst games ever. Come on. I'd rather play ET on the 2600 than some of those Wii games. Not that the Wii doesn't also have some amazing games, but my god the audience that developers are making Wii games for, it's just so... not ... me. Or, from what I would assume, anybody else that frequents websites like this one. Hannah Montana got higher reviews than Turning Point: Fall of Liberty? Come on. Somehow I think I know which of those two games I'd have more fun playing.

@baked ham: I know which of those two games I'd have more fun playing too, and it's not Turning Point.

@baked ham: surely you can see the only reason the Wii has all the crap games is because the Wii sells to the layman who doesn't read reviews, search game sites, watch trailers months in advance etc.
The PS2 had hundreds of the same shite games that plague the popular console but it also had so many gems, as does/will (hopefully) Wii. *prays*

ok, I don't know about a witch, but I'd totally touch a cheer leader with a stylus. Can we swing this thing like Nintendogs? Only with women? That's not degrading is it? Should I worry that I'm perverse? No. No... it's ok. I just want to poke an imaginary woman with a tiny plastic stick. That's a simple joyful thing. Get more guys into the female-dominated casual games market!

what would you feed it?

I'm surprised that it's not called Wii Cheer.

How about a DS game where you touch busty cheerleaders?

Just an idea the Japanese may want to get on.

*insert cheerleader stereotype here*

if anything, I hope this pushes Nintendo to make Elite Beat Agents for Wii.

I nearly got a Wii at launch. It's games like this that make me so glad I got a 360 instead. God bless you Nintendo for not having enough stock to meet demand.

Selling my Wii looks like a wiser and wiser decision every day.
