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.

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

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.

"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?!
