You know, if it's one thing the Wii is missing, it's novel party games. As long as you ignore about half of the catalog, that is. It's pretty clear that Wii like to party, so let's rock the partaaaaay - and get down, get down (jungle boogie!). If you thought I had to be running out of bad jokes, there's one more - EA just announced [eurl=]Boogie[/eurl], exclusively for the Wii.
What, that didn't make you laugh? Well, how about this - imagine you and a couple friends sitting around, making cartoon caricatures of yourselves that get points for balance, groovitude, or other abilities in order to star in your own music video. Then, like a bad cross between American Idol, Dance, Dance Revolution and Amplitude, it's time to bust a move.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we just found the ultimate drinking/party game of 2007. If you thought Rayman was fun, those rabbits don't have anything on this...
There are two distinctly interesting points about the release of Boogie. First of all, EA has not (up until now) really recognised the success of the Wii, choosing instead to back the more "next-gen" consoles by and large. Though EA has far from ignored Nintendo's offering, it also has yet to develop one game exclusively for the new console until now.
Second, the game hints at requiring singing as a part of it. While this will probably make every neighbour in your area cringe when you have a party, it also means something more sinister: the Wii might be getting that microphone after all. The microphone has been a rumoured attachment for quite some time, but until now has remained almost entirely that - a rumour.
No matter what, EA's new rhythm game is liable to be turning some heads and tapping some toes. DDR has been widely accredited as one of the most fun party games ever, so could we be seeing a new king of the hill?
