Go Grease Lightning (to the Wii and DS)

by Griffin McElroy { Jul 1st 2009 at 2:45PM }

Listen up, musical theater majors! Your time of reckoning approaches. Sure, your friends can easily best you at Halo 3 or Call of Duty 4 -- but in a short while, a title which will finally allow you to invoke your unique skill set will hit store shelves. We speak, of course, of Grease. The movie. The video game. For Wii and DS.

505 Games recently picked up the rights to adapt the musical film in conjunction with Paramount Digital Entertainment. The game will put players in the gaudy, unfortunate shoes of one of Sandy or Danny's cronies, forcing them to sing and dance using motion controls, microphones or the DS touch screen. Further gameplay details or a release date for Grease are currently unknown. C'mon, 505! Tell us more! Tell us more!

I think I'm gonna buy Dead Space: Extraction even though I don't have a Wii and just stare at the cover for a good laugh.

Is joystiq's viral marketing scheme in alliance with EA bearing fruit?

MORE AT 11!

Dave @ Jul 1st 2009 3:34PM

I'd hit it everytime Joystiq photoshops that pic. Yes, including the one with the body of that gigantic beast.

No, not that one really. (~,-)

Maulok @ Jul 1st 2009 2:54PM

I am having a very emotional day due to a death in the family this morning.

That picture is the first thing to make me laugh since I got the news. Thank you very much.

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jul 1st 2009 2:58PM

Whoa! Take her easy dude. X button is the door. Use it.

Maulok @ Jul 1st 2009 3:07PM

I'm sorry if everyone's fun got in the way of the important and serious business of video game blog commenting.

What important point did you want us to discuss about Grease on the DS?

Cody @ Jul 1st 2009 3:13PM

I've said it before in reply to you, and I'll say it again.

Your name is peepoop.

PedoJokerBear (aka Deeznuts) @ Jul 1st 2009 3:25PM

man named peepoop thinks something is being runned into the ground haha

Dave @ Jul 1st 2009 3:36PM

You've just made yourself a Joystiq reject.

MystileArmor @ Jul 1st 2009 3:40PM

Someone had to take Sprinkles Scepter of Trollness over, since he is anti-trolling (???) every once in a while.

xtremeholymuffin @ Jul 1st 2009 4:26PM

ilovethewaggle @ Jul 1st 2009 2:59PM

Joystiq,

The wii is having a hard enough time even after 3 years and a bazillion dollars made gaining crediblilty as a viable gaming platform on this site. Articles like this don't help. Though they do provide you with excelent photoshopportunities. I

Dirty @ Jul 1st 2009 3:02PM

Grease is good for keeping all that dust off your console.

ilovethewaggle @ Jul 1st 2009 3:06PM

Damn you dirty hippo. every system collects dust. go find a new attack.

Comet @ Jul 1st 2009 2:59PM

I dont know guys this game could be....Systematic...Hydromatic....WHY IS COULD BE GREASE LIGHTNING!

Markez @ Jul 1st 2009 2:59PM

It's to the point where continuing to put that on every single post means that none of your commenters are going to comment on the actual post.

Same effect as posting 100 Pachter bits over the last few days. Nobody discusses the post's content, rather they just post about how irritated they are that all there seemingly are, are more and more Pachter posts.
