Nintendo Wii News | EA Reveals Boogie Mic

By Jorge Ba-oh 09.06.2007 17

EA have revealed the microphone attachment and some tidbits about the upcoming Wii-exclusive music party game Boogie, warming up players' vocals and hitting the dance floor with some funky tunes.

  • Players shake the Wiimote in 4 directions, A changes move sets and B for combos, joystick/dpad is used to move your character and Z is used for lip syncing.
  • Video Maker mode will allow players to use 3D glasses, but it's unconfirmed whether these will be included.
  • Pitch meter keeps track of players' voices in comparison with the original.
  • Region specific tracks most likely.
  • 40 tracks available.

    Thanks to RevoGamers for the tip.

    Does it plug into the remote or what?

    It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

    Well they're obviously trying to make it look like a proper microphone, rather than a toy one.

    That didlo reminds me of something, i mean microfone... Smilie

    Anyway im guessing it attachs to the Wii-mote?!?

    I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

    It goes into a USB port on the console itself if I recall correctly, Grumbler. This is something that Nintendo should've stepped in on and made a proper remote attachment for really, but oh well...

    Eww...that shit is ugly as hell. Realistic?? Have they seen what a mic looks like??

    USB? ... What the hell... Plugging it into the Wiimote would be the obvious solution. The wireless-ness of the Wiimote is kinda pointless if you have to keep the mic plugged in...

    It looks like it's designed so that you can hold it how you're not supposed to hold a microphone (like rappers do).

    It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

    How to rappers hold microphones wrong? Same way they hold guns?

    Right up by the bit with holes in it (technical term honest), smothering half of it with your hand. This mic doesn't have that part exposed.
    Compare that to this normal one:

    Aah yes I see what you mean... It might just be that those normal ones don't really look 'kool' enough for EA though

    There must be separate modes for singing and for dancing, because dancing requires use of the remote and nunchuck. We do not have three hands.

    So, it plugs into the back of the Wii? Seems a bit stupid.Smilie

    What's wrong with Wii white? It should be a USB Wireless Headset really, and it should have been made by Nintendo.

    Add me on anything. I'm always looking for new friends/opponents/town visitors/chances to appear more popular than I actually am.

    As gimmicky computer game peripherals go, it's not the worst that there's ever been.

    Wii steering wheel.

    I can smell the pointless casual gamer money nicking scheme a mile away! Smilie

    At least this actually has a bit of of a point. Smilie
