A giant Wii remote.

I'm slighty put off by the fact that theres a male figure involved in the logo.

This game is going to rock! I'd help if I had dev exp. or knew how. But with how Wii games are being made, I'd fit right in exp wise.

@Jaziek: I hadnt noticed that. Urgh. Little creepy.

Wow. Bedroom Boogie KILLED me. The random requirement for my late-night surfing is now complete. Thank you, thank you so much Luke. :D

this game = inevitable.

Hell, I'd buy a Wii just for this.

In all reality, what are they really thinking will happen? That Nintendo will allow this to be an official peripheral? I mean really...

Okay, let's say we take this concept seriously... 1. How will they measure the movements? - Because even if they do pack-in a pole, it makes little sense to just put the Wiimote into the pole since the only movements that it can then measure are the vibrations of the pole every time you go around it. (Somehow that sentence just sounds so awkward.) Not so much of a game mechanic. So the Wiimote in the pole won't work. 2. The WiiFit board can't be used too because it will be too small to put a pole on top of it and go around the thing while still stepping on the board. 3. The way I see it, the only time that this concept will work is if a. you provide a pole pack-in that's sturdy enough to stand on its own while supporting the player's movements b. instead of putting the wiimote into the pole, provide a "belt". This way the wiimote goes into the belt and it will be situated on the player's hip so that the movements can then be measured properly.

I think this would better suited as a Nintendo franchise game like Brawl, you could have players mimicking the pole dancing actions for characters such as Samus, Princess Peach & Zelda, Dixie kong, Kirby, a couple of pokemon. Chuck in a couple of Sega characters for good measure.

Would be great for kids......

I think it's already approved, and the guy's there to help promote Nintendo's WiiWear program.

If this is anything like the GH/Rock Band games, people who can master Expert difficulty will be checking into ER for flaming crotches.

Genius, this is.

Although the guy on the right is indeed curious...and it threatens my narrow-minded values!

So kiddies will be bumping and grinding their wiimotes?

I can see it now...

(I made that image, BTW. Never thought it would be relevant to anything.)

Duke Nukem going "Shake It Baby" is the only coherent thing that comes to mind after reading this.

HA HA HA....Double Entendre!

Can you imagine all the Senior citizens who play wii getting their hands on this? shake it grandma shake it.

I'd get a Wii for this >.>

Pole Dancing

You know?

For the kids.

@Chef: LOL

I'm pretty sure my medical insurance doesn't cover flaming crotch.

So who's going to accept the liability of people breaking their necks?

Incidentally, I can see this working better as a DDR style thing with pads surrounding a dancing pole.

This would probably be the most amazing thing ever, and drive me to buy a Wii.

@Geckosan:
A Ulala vs Peach strip-off?

SOLD!

I hope the seniors don't take to this like they did the Wii.

No thanks...I wouldn't trust that peripheral. Can you imagine trying to slide around on it and falling on your tv? I bet it'd make a great conversation piece with your in-laws though. :P

Somehow, the phrase "don't go there" doesn't seem just enough.

oh.. gosh ;_;

"Please make it go away Mommy, what were you doing with my Wii?"

I wouldn't trust the durability of the new peripheral.

After that Holy-Freaking-Fatass game (Aka, Professional Eating Championship) they're making for Wii, I don't think anything will surprise me.

@Lyrai: I had Red Alert 2's Tanya in mind.

I think they forgot about the large group of children and elderly owners of a wii. Well I hope they did, especially the elderlies, for my sanity.

@Jaziek: I'm extremely MORE interested by that fact. Housewives (you know, the people you make fun of for buying Wii?)everywhere LOVE watching male strippers. Chippendale is not just a kind of furniture or a couple of cartoon rodents, boys.

@k3nji: Hey, if gramma and grampa wanna get down, that's fine. IN PRIVATE.

Why's everybody so down on the guy being there?

Oh.... OH. You think this is a SERIOUS STRIPPING SIMULATOR.

As opposed to, y'know... something to do for fun, excercise, and to make an idiot of yourself in front of your friends.

Like Singstar, or Wii Sports, or any of these other popular party games.

This game is a fantastic idea, and I really hope it gets through. If games like Grand Theft Auto 4 and Bioshock can't convince the mainstream market that not all video games are meant for a 5-9 audience, perhaps this will.

But I doubt it. Countdown to "media outrage" in 3-2-1...

I dont understand how it will work. will there actually be a pole? I do advanced pole dancing and it involves alot of climbing and spins going upside down etc. I know that them peekaboo poles they sell in the shops are the novelty ones that you can't literally do anything on them, apart from gyrate and rub yourself on it,lol. Got a feeling that will be the aim of the game, hmmm....making pole dancing live up to its seedy stereotype.be interested to see what its like
