Wii Boogie Details

They said they were going to do it, and now here they come. EA is catching up to the Wii train by announcing Wii Boogie with an ambiguous launch date of "by the end of 2007". Some of you might remember it being mentioned before by McMike as Wii exclusive from EA, but like so many others, I want to know more about the "boogie" part of the game and how crazy it's going to be. Are we talking Studio 54 crazy or crazy rave dancing in a country field?

The party game will have an alien theme with customizable characters. Game play will include rhythm, dancing and singing player interaction. 'Boogie' will be a Wii-exclusive game with the usage of its unique controller capabilities.

Oh, Carnival cruise line "Hot Havannah Nights" kind of crazy. Nice. Kim Phu

Yep, EA's pushing innovation on the Wii by releasing a collection of mini-games.

Thanks, EA!

That isn't the game box art. That is a Namco wii game whose name escapes me.

I don't think this would fall under mini-game unless you consider Guitar Hero II or Dance Dance Revolution mini-games as well. I know I don't.

And although another rythm based game wont set the world on fire, it's just good to see a new game built exclusively for the Wii from the ground up by EA. To me it's a sign of committed Wii-exclusive projects to come and no more Medal of Honor: Vanguard-like shenanigans.

From what I have hard saying boogie is minigames is like saying Gutar Hero and DDR are minigame fests. From what I have read it will be a rhythm game.

@Justin42: How is this a collection of mini games? It's a rhythm game with multiple modes. Stop posting nonsense.

No, this game doesn't look THAT innovative, but at the same time, how many other dancing games have given you the opportunity to dance with anything other than your feet? None that I know of. So, in a way, it will be unique.

I doubt it will trump DDR, or Guitar Hero, but it still seems like a neat rhythm game.

That box art is from Enninchi no Tatsujin, whichever the name would be Stateside.

@PaulMorel: "how many other dancing games have given you the opportunity to dance with anything other than your feet? None that I know of."

On consoles that might be true, but not in arcades - see also: Para Para Paradise, the Dance Maniax series, etc.

Seems like my last try to post got eaten.

I was on my way out the door when I posted and after just a skim-read had misread "party game" as "mini game" (think Rayman). My bad.
