Boogie getting down on PS2, DS this holiday

As hinted at in May, EA has announced that the all-singing, all-dancing Boogie will be released on the PlayStation 2 (fake box art above) and DS this holiday season. When it debuted on the Wii in August, Boogie's musical sing-and-swing gameplay left some critics gyrating in pleasure and others convulsing in pain, the latter screaming "shallow and mindless" to the other group's "simple and accessible."

EA's press release claims that the DS verse-ion of Boogie will feature "the first 3D gameplay on the handheld system," a statement made less outrageous when it's followed by mention of special (and no doubt embarrassing) 3-D glasses. It also promises new gameplay modes, multi-card play and rather unbelievably, more minigames compared to Wii. The PS2 version isn't as thoroughly explained, though its content will likely differ less than its means of input.

Boogie: Started when EA realized the Wii is a hit. Pushed out the door six months before the developers could make it good.

Move along, nothing to see here.

I have a feeling the PS2 is going to be getting games for a WHILE...

True ten year life span Sony system.

If the PS2 can last for five more years, and the Wii is getting pretty much the same games as the PS2, I think it's safe to say that the Wii will last through this generation, "Wii Bubble" be damned.

If at first you don't succeed publish on as many platforms as possible.

Yeah, unfortunately the actual good games stopped with God of War 2.

I guess you haven't played Odin Sphere

megaStryke: Sep 5th 2007; 4:17PM

That's what they WANT you to think.

baby sea tuna: Sep 5th 2007; 4:24PM

"They?" So it's a conspiracy now?

Ska Oreo: Sep 5th 2007; 4:32PM

The moon is hollow and contains an advanced civilization living in it's center. Hence why when an object strikes it, the sound waves don't reverberate back from the core.
This is what the Apollo missions were actually about.

TheGuy: Sep 5th 2007; 4:13PM

sorry for double post

Ska Oreo: Sep 5th 2007; 4:31PM

EA, you nazi bastards.

ill trooper: Sep 5th 2007; 4:34PM

...Which I am guessing means this will also play on the PS3? Well played, Sony.

samfish: Sep 5th 2007; 5:22PM

You know what I haven't seen yet? Oliva Neutron Bomb hentai (I think that's her name).

I thought for SURE that stuff would be all over the internets within at least 2 days of Boogie's release.

Did someone just invoke rule 34?

3-D glasses! What a great idea!....FOR ME TO POOP ON!

blooh: Sep 5th 2007; 6:57PM

Neebs: Sep 5th 2007; 7:25PM

I love that 3+/10 there. :D

"Boogie for the DS..." => Why not?
"... with 3D glasses." => I beg your pardon?

The game is cheesy enough (not to be confused with the fun factor), but they just managed to uber-cheddar the DS version.

And think about hvnlysolder! How is he supposed to 3D with his eyepatch?!
