Certainly! By now you must have seen the credit sequence for anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Catchy, huh? No wonder the Wii Haruhi game is going to be a dancing game. Well, not a straight up dancing game as it'll have a "Story Mode" (with dancing) and a "Free Mode" (with dancing). The game's about half done and slated for this year. Hum~ming!
And yes, Haruhi dance after the jump.

Sooo...Wiimote Dancing, WiiFit Dancing, or Dancepad Dancing?
Awww I was hoping a game Tailer dance....
oh well
dooo do dodo...
This reminds me. They really need to do another season of he Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Good Anime.
Maybe this is motivation to buy the Wii.
Then again, I already know how to do this dance. Great anime.
@Tiberian:
Second season is coming.
They've been showing teasers and such for a while now. This fall, I think.
Whenever I see a Haruhi post, I keep hoping it has a video of Kotaku staff doing the Haruhi Dance with it.
Alas, once again, my hopes are dashed.
well its a smart move, that dance has
been quite a meme by now
also its just me or there has been a lack on haruhi news?
There's been plenty of Haruhi news and even a little fun way to promote the new season when the Japanese site went "down" and asked you for a password.
I'm sure though, people are gonna get their hopes up about the new season and of course it's not going to live up to their standards and judge it pretty hard.
on topic:
Hare Hare Yukai > Macarena
and if you kids don't know what the Macarena is:
+ Watch video
@otimus: Thats great news. Thanks^^
They should have put in a Molestation of Mikuru mini-game in there as well.
@arstal: Then they would have to make a Wii-glove wont they?
So that's what the fuck Haruhi is. IT all makes sense now.
Maybe I should go watch that anime again...
Oooo I have a Wii that can play this one :3
Aru hareta hi no koto
Mahou ijou no yukai ga...
It will NEVER get old.
makes me very happy....but very sad that i don't own Wii and will never get a Wii....
In case you guys didn't know what power you have, I ended up dropping around $200 on all four limited edition U.S. DVD sets for Haruhi ONLY because you guys kept going on about it.
Probably would buy a game, too, if one were available domestically.
I can't help but feel obligated to post in this article.
It's a shame the game will probably be a wagglefest cashout. :/
Mandatory support comment!
don't let the haruhiism stop!
dooo dooooo...
yuki banzai!
Now if only vol.10 of the light novel would just realease already! we got hordes of people who are itching to translate and read!! ARRRGGHHHH!!!
NEEED. HARUHI!
*watch video*
ahh...soooon...soooon....precious...
*carass his Wii*
i can see whats next.
Lucky star cheerleading game.
fricken finally. Its been like how many months since the PSP and the PS2 games were released and yet the Wii version's info is just now out.
Seriously, this better be good.
Or else I would have wasted my money on a freeloader for nothing
@lilkao: AWESOME
@Onizuka-GTO:
Just pray that the Cease & Desist letters allow it to happen. Yen Press has the US rights to publish the light novels here, and you'd better believe that they're going to do absolutely everything to make the property profitable.
Please, someone tell me this will be an Ouendan rip off that uses a combination of the Wii fit mat and Wii remotes. Even though that'd be stupid expensive for one game, I'd buy all that crap :P
why is it that months..MONTHS later...every time I see the haruhi dance I still get a stupid grin on my face?
Oikakete ne tsukamaete mite
Ooki na yume & yume suki deshou?
Man I love that song.
You know what, YOU KNOW WHAT, because of you guys I Netflixed Haruhi. It's actually a lot better than I thought it would.
Still hate that dance though.
Hah the Haruhi dance makes it's kotaku komeback.
That sounds like a good title for an article series for retro/VC titles.
AHAHAHAHA... HAHAHA... OBOY...
...but it's a good idea. I just find it really funny for some reason.
I am absolutely, completely, burned out on that and the Lucky Star OP dance now... but the PSP Haruhi is alright.
@Onizuka-GTO:
Yuki banzai! (゜∀゜)
OH MY SHIT. I watched half of that video, and I liked it. OMS!
That dance is annoying as HEYELL. But, the anime series...
Actually, it feels kinda cliched and boring. And the ending is just too... not an ending.
not so wanting this
I loved the anime, I did the dance with my friends (that was hilarious in many ways), I love my Wii, but this game........ if it comes to my local blockbuster maybe 'll rent it
This will be absolutely AWESOME!! I would love it if it taught the moves to you, too! Mikuru's especially. Lol.
Nice.. I've always wanted to learn how to dance this, but had no one brave enough to be ashamed with me.
Someone asked... it's WiiMote dancing. No pads, it seems.
Something like Parapara probably.
Also, Haruhi FTW!
I have the PSP game, know nothing of japanese, but love hearing Yuki telling me the time. I wish my cellphone would do that.
I feel like kicking my Wii for not being japanese...
@Keanu:
Oh God, my childhood. (relatively speaking)
I have the album that that song is from; used to love it. Now?
I can't believe I danced to that. -_-
Why do I feel dirty after watching that?
I think I might go and watch the anime again.
Oh my Gods.
Talk about milking the franchise...
I really liked the anime, but I am so fucking SICK of this stupid dance. It's /almost/ as annoying as Soulja Boy.
I sooooo want this game...goddamnit, Japanese things being only in Japanese...
@trelantana: Did you watch it in chronological order? If you did the ending was half wa ythrough the series. The US distributor put the episodes in chronological order when they were actually meant to go...
11, 1, 2, 7, 3, 9, 8, 10, 14, 4, 13, 12, 5, 6
(Episode 11 was actually the first on the DVD)
@ISChris: Seriously? I got to go back and watch it again tonight now. Bash, Thanks I needed to see me some dancing tonight before i started working.
