Wii pole dancing plans confirmed, fitness to blame

by Jason Dobson on May 2nd 2008 8:35PM

When we first heard of the not-at-all embarrassingly named company Peekaboo Pole Dancing's apparent plans to bring a pole dancing game to the Wii, the whole thing smacked of a better-late-than-never April Fools' prank. Not so, according to MTV Multiplayer blog, which asked the purveyors of the "Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kit" and the Carmen Electra-endorsed "Electra-pole" the question that just had to be asked: Why?

Peekaboo rep Simon Kay told the blog that the idea behind bringing what he calls "aerobic pole dancing " to the Wii is "all about fun and fitness." According Kay, Peekaboo wants the game "to do for pole dancing what Guitar Hero did for rock n roll!" We can't help but imagine that the game will finally give gaming couples with an eye for rhythm a means to use their 'star power' for an added -- not to mention motion sensitive -- relationship spark.

That lady is hot =p

I bet she looks like shit in the morning.

I don't like shit =(

Who says you have to stay till morning. ;)

Who says she has to stay until the morning?

@Fernando

Yes Fernando she is hot but you need to get out more ...

Is our bet on for GTA IV PS3 sales 1st week vs Mario kart Wii first week sales in the USA using ONLY NPD numbers?

John

The bet is still going on, but I don't remember beting with you, but we can still bet.

But, read my past comments... it was not only for 1 week, it was for the whole first month.

You can't be serious... THAT what you comment on? OMG...

Hwhat hwas the bet? Bet what?

The bet is: Mario Kart will sell more than the PS3 version of GTA in USA in the first month.

We will compare results with the NPD numbers.

The prize is: $20 in Wii Points Cards or PSN Cards.

But the bet is closed now... I have 4 bets already.

Last month I won $60 in Wii Points and a VC N64 title, with the Gran Turismo sales.

=p

If you really took that bet, then Fernando you are a bigger moronic fanboy than I ever thought possible. Also, if this bleached blonde bimbo is your idea of "hot" then you are even more juvenile than I thought possible. You should get around to actually meeting a real female at some point in your life, and you aren't going to do that by commenting on every Joystiq post possible.

Um, Gavin? Yeah, hi. I'm just throwing this out there, but I'm almost positive that she, nor anyone else, cares that she's a bimbo. If anything, that's what makes her hot. I get what you're saying, and if you equate "hot" with "I respect her a lot, then you're right. Me? I equate "hot" with "I'd like to plow her til next thursday then never call". But that's just me.

I don't understand the problem. She is hot. Amazing legs (probably from the pole dancing). Probably not a great face without makeup though.

She looks like the older sister from Full House.

Yes Fernando the bet is ON like Donkey Kong

I made a post asking for the bet but you never replied back ... I think your going to lose this one buddy ... If I lose I will honor and we can exchange friend codes

I think a lot more people want to be rock Gods than strippers.

I bet joystiq had more fun finding this picture than finding a pic of a Rock God.

=)

Wii Strip!

Wii would like to strip.

Nintendo will never approve it for their console. Ever.

after the amount of shit they have shovled onto that console this year

i think they will

stop saying shovel, think of something new. plzthx.
lazyware, flashports, budget titles. there I just thought of 3 in less than a minute.

I think shit just about describes it better than any word.

@Mko

Shit is a shit no matter how you look at it...

LuckyEMS, I'm waiting for something as bad as: 'Wii Coal Mining' or someone to even go as far as 'Wii Wii playing' in which you have to wave your arms faster than your opponent.

[Generic Wii phallic comment]

Gives a new meaning to "Wii want to play".

damn. this comment system is pretty busted. You'd think a TECH website like engadget & joystiq would be on the bleeding edge, not 10 yrs back.

Nima, no you are. Ban hammer spammer1

Sorry for that, everyone.

Peekaboo wants the game "to do for pole dancing what Guitar Hero did for rock n roll!"

this is probably the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time

Having fret buttons on poles has got to hurt. Oh well, you can't argue with the music.

Maybe if we could make a deal with JT, have him go after this "daughter training to be a stripper" simulator, so that he would leave GTAIV alone.

Mario & Sonic: At the Strip Club anyone?

I would buy it...

Although, if Peach is featured as a stripper, samfish probably would buy every copy in existence.

samfish? hell yah, First Peach, then Daisy, bet ya next will be Samus naked...

What about Birdo?....

What about me? I'll strip for a fee.

Wonder if they could tie it in with the Wii Shaft controller as well.

http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/11/13/wii_shaft_joystick/

I wonder if this supports split screen multiplayer..

On co-op, you just make out with each other
on vs, one player is the stripper and the other player has to try to shove dollar bills down her throat

Wiilapdance?

Now you're talking!
Women swinging about on poles is about as sexy and classy as playboy.

Does it cum with the whore?

nope whores sold separately!

Pole-dancing != stripper
similarly
Reading joystiq != kids
and
Conan != Arnold schwarzenegger

Thank god, finally we find the thing that will force Nintendo from the games industry and their attempts to roll back 15 years of evolution will be stopped. Their greed will cause their downfall when they start approving games like these. No soccer mom or 85-year-old will want to purchase a system that corrupts our youth.

While the Wii is the only console women as a demographic have taken interest in I don't see them swarming into stores to act like strippers. Oh and mocax you may not equate pole dancing with strippers but most of the world does.

I think you would be surprised. Pole Dancing is shaping up to be the next 'fitness phenomenon'. There are hollywood actresses like Kate Hudson doing it for the strength and fitness that it gives you. Think of this like a sexy form of WiiFit. WiiFit will give the ladies the bodies to pull it off, and WiiPoleDancing will give them a way to flaunt it!

I would buy it but I bet my old lady wouldn't use it ...

Why would you let old ladies pole dance? lol
