Ubisoft officially reveals 'Just Dance,' for people who don't mind looking like this

by JC Fletcher { Aug 18th 2009 at 10:15AM }

Originally discovered in a trademark, Ubisoft has announced Just Dance, a Wii game developed by Ubisoft Paris. While we had some interest in the title due to the possibility of it being Q? Entertainment's rhythm game project, the announcement shows that it ... isn't.

Just Dance invites players to learn and mimic "real dance moves set to classic and modern songs across all genres they know and love," as CEO Yves Guillemot put it. Among the 30 licensed tracks: dance classics like "Groove Is In The Heart," "Pump Up the Jam," and "U Can't Touch This."

But ... how do you do the MC Hammer dance in this game? Do you attach the Wiimote to your leg? Does it come with special parachute pants with a pocket for the controller?

Another great wii game to play when drunk. Thanks!

Paul @ Aug 18th 2009 12:19PM

I've had a little bit too much....all the people start to rush....

Rein [Planeteer | Power of Unicorns and Rainbows] @ Aug 18th 2009 1:35PM

Yes, it's from his myspace. As for voting, the DBZ one is the best because it makes him look like a wizard.

Also, I feel bad for dAnixx's email.

Rein [Planeteer | Power of Unicorns and Rainbows] @ Aug 18th 2009 1:38PM

Reply fail. Ignore that comment... Ughhhhhh

Just Stop

Is it possible to make a wii game that doesn't require the player to look foolish or get drunk first and not care..?

tmacairjordan87 @ Aug 18th 2009 11:24AM

Then what would be the point of the Wii, since that's what motion controls are for.

chrisnick @ Aug 18th 2009 11:46AM

Edit: No need for that kind of language.

MystileArmor @ Aug 18th 2009 11:33AM

Hammer time!

Cody (Looten Plunder) @ Aug 18th 2009 11:37AM

I love the "motion controls=looking foolish" theory almost as much as "My Wii grows dust" thing.

Are you guys playing Wii at your local mall or arcade or something?? What judgmental asses are around so much that are making you feel so foolish?

Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Aug 18th 2009 11:40AM

Cody. We know you have no reservations about looking like a fool in private or in publick so please, shut up.

Oh, and how clever of you to add the "Looten Plunder" nickname to your username. Now Captain Planet REALLY knows how on it is. Douche.

Cody (Looten Plunder) @ Aug 18th 2009 11:47AM

Sorry for the confusion Storm Eagle,

I was replying to whylekat and tmac

Cody (Looten Plunder) @ Aug 18th 2009 11:51AM

Ah you like the Looten Plunder!

I thought it was lulz too. Anyone as obsessed with another person as Planet is with me deserves some acknowledgement!

Remember Storm, any press is good press!

Storm Eagle [Resident Capcom Megafan] @ Aug 18th 2009 11:56AM

No, I apologize for the confusion Cody. You must have thought I was paying you a comment of some sorts. It's my mistake really. I should have clarified by actually telling you how stupid it is that you felt the need to add one of Cap's arch-nemeses to your username.

Cody (Looten Plunder) @ Aug 18th 2009 12:02PM

Aww... :(

i've been out of the comments sections lately... what's wrong with cody? why does storm hate him? is cody a troll?

Cody (drinking their tears of envy since 1983!) @ Aug 18th 2009 12:16PM

Frank,

From what I can gather, they don't like my facial hair.

Cody (drinking their tears of envy since 1983!) @ Aug 18th 2009 12:21PM

@ Planet,

The last one is my favorite. Put my vote down for that one.

The Baron @ Aug 18th 2009 1:15PM

Personally I prefer the first of that bunch of three.

Wait, what's even going on here?

Matisyahu Serious @ Aug 18th 2009 1:19PM

i wish i could get paid for comments.

whylekat @ Aug 18th 2009 1:32PM

Is that actually a picture of cody?

whylekat @ Aug 18th 2009 1:35PM

And jumpin' jimminy! That's good Photoshop work! If I didn't know any better, I'd assume Cody really loots & pillages on a profressional pirateing basis.

Rein [Planeteer | Power of Unicorns and Rainbows] @ Aug 18th 2009 1:40PM

DBZ wizard Cody is the ultimate! Choose that one!

Mr.Chrome @ Aug 18th 2009 10:19AM

looks wierd sony patent image is even better

copa @ Aug 18th 2009 11:26AM

Did the Sony patent image have ladies playing videogames in six-inch heels in the middle of the day?

Matisyahu Serious @ Aug 18th 2009 1:50PM

"Did the Sony patent image have ladies playing videogames in six-inch heels in the middle of the day?"

c'mon now, i know guys famously exaggerate 6 inches each and every day, but that's simply ridiculous.
