EA announces girl-friendly Boogie SuperStar for Wii

by Jason Dobson { Jun 26th 2008 at 9:45AM }

Electronic Arts has slipped on a pair of bootie shorts and shaked its groove thang all the way back to the well, announcing Boogie SuperStar exclusively for the Wii. A follow up to last year's family-friendly rhythm game, Boogie, the game is the latest to be counted among EA's casual brand, and is being targeted specifically at girls – though how exactly the game will favor the fairer sex remains to be seen.

Once again being developed by EA Montreal, information about the game was first leaked last month, at that time indicating that Boogie SuperStar would have players dancing on the Wii Balance Board, though EA's official announcement makes note of no such functionality. What we do know is that Boogie SuperStar will allow up to four gals to keep rhythm, customize characters, and cut rugs using the Wii remote, all while being judged by the game on their road to win it big in the game's 'Boogie Star Show.' The sequel will also feature more than 40 different licensed tracks from groups and singers such as Maroon 5, Britney Spears, and Kanye West, though EA bills the music as being 'made popular by' these artists, so cheap imitations will likely be the order of the day when Boogie SuperStar ships in both North America and Europe this October.

Don't you remember the mid-90s?

A sequel to a meta-scored 57 game? Sounds like a great idea. Nice promotional material, though. If that's what the characters are doing behind the notes, it might be worth renting.

Not quite good enough for a man, made for a woman: Ladies, let's Boogie!

i'm honestly embarrassed to know this even exists.. as if the first one wasn't terrible enough. I guess marketing it towards women will probably net them more sales though. :\

What do you have a fucking hard on for Fernando? As much as it annoys me when he mindlessly bash things for no apparent reason, it's much more annoying when people start shit with him when he hasn't do anything yet.

Protip: This doesn't make you look cool.

I thought it made him look cool.

As a new Wii owner($100 bucks baby!!!) stuff like this makes me much more angrier than they usually do? I mean seriously, what the fuck is this shit? I think I'm just going to take the Nintendo fanboy route and buy only 1st party titles since this is getting fucking ridiculous. I really hope we get some new(good) titles at E3.
