Wii like to Boogie

Your IT - Entertainment

Boogie, a game under development at Electronic Arts' Canadian studio in Montreal, will have players creating their own music videos to any of several dozen licensed tracks.

Whereas PlayStation dance games use a mat controller, the nunchuck and Wii remote will control the Boogie character's lower and upper body. Boogie will also have a karaoke aspect, allowing players to sing, presumably using an as yet unannounced microphone accessory for the Wii.

"We're creating something new and different for gamers of all ages to enjoy; the complete party package where gamers can dance as well as sing," said Alain Tascan, Vice President and General Manager, EA Montreal.

It is also possible that players will be able to turn their performances into stand-alone videos that can be shared online.
