Boogie NiGHTS (Feature)

24 Jan 2008

The Wii is the “kid friendly” console, right? We thought so too, until we mashed up some video clips to create Boogie NiGHTS. What emerged was a darkly disturbing series of scenes that are how we imagine a game by notorious film director Victor Salva might turn out. The whole experience left us wondering how many repressed memories might be lurking beneath all our NiGHTS nostalgia. What started as a loopy parody has become a staid cautionary tale: games rated E for Mild Fantasy ...

Boogie not a Wii Exclusive, Coming To PlayStation 2 (News)

15 Aug 2007

While EA's Boogie for Wii is seeing few game critics singing (and interpretively dancing) its praises, according to a new listing on game rental service GameFly, the game may have another opportunity to underwhelm gamers, this time on the PlayStation 2. The listing, rooted out by Siliconera, shows a November 15th release, making a pre-Thanksgiving cash grab very likely.

Boogie (Review)

7 Aug 2007

We've given EA there share of guff, sass - heck, we even went so far as to sling malarkey - at their persistent onslaught of subpar Wii ports. Outside of SSX Blur and a decent Madden control scheme, they've done little more than shower Nintendo with mediocre translations of readily available GameCube and PS2 games. But EA has since apologized for their lack of foresight, and we're happy to say that the song and dance found in Boogie is a damn fine step in the right direction. The visuals here ...

Boogie cleverly blends rhythm with singing (into the specially-made Wii USB microphone) - but it also gives the player the option to do one or the other. So anyone who makes Jordans voice sound like that of an angel (with auto-tune turned off) neednt write this off as a wasted exercise. Theres a Karaoke and Dance mode, plus Story, which lets you play through the unique stories of the games five characters doing a combination of ...

Weve got to be honest: in the past, we werent too sure about Boogie.

EA Boogies Onto Wii, Microphone Possibly Confirmed (News)

23 Mar 2007

EA has announced it's Montreal studio, which recently released SSX Blur, is working on a new game called Boogie in which gamers will essentially be creating music videos and will be in charge of both the dancing, like many music/rhythm games before it, and the singing.

From the press release:

""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. "Nintendo's Wii is an amazing console that really gives us a platform to be creative and to re-think traditional game development."

Boogie will have gamers dancing, singing and starring in their own music videos. Players can also choose and customize different characters in the game to best show off their dancing style and karaoke skills. With innovative gameplay that perfectly matches the unique Wii controls, Boogie is the ultimate videogame party package."

While the game seems like something many gamers would be very interested in, let's focus on the tidbit of news in that release that maybe shouldn't be. It seems like EA has unofficially confirmed that there will indeed be the much rumored microphone for the Nintendo Wii. Unless there is some mechanism on the Wii that can input voice already there certainly will be a microphone add-on for the Wii and it will be coming this year as Boogie is to be released later in 2007.
