Developers just can't get enough of the Wii, as Electronic Arts is rolling out Boogie for Nintendo's little console, a game in which players will dance, sing and create music videos. It's a party package really, that takes quite good advantage of the Wii's motion sensitive controller.

Boogie is an all new intellectual property in development at EA Montreal, launching for Nintendo's Wii on 31st August 2007 in Europe. The game will ship to retail stores with a packed-in karaoke microphone peripheral and will feature new versions of tracks made popular by hit bands including The Jackson 5, Kool & The Gang, M.C. Hammer, The Village People, and by Cyndi Lauper and Britney Spears.

"We have assembled a great selection of music for the game that will appeal to players of all ages, making this dancing and karaoke game the ultimate party package for the entire family," said Alain Tascan, Vice President and General Manager, EA Montreal. "Wii is expanding videogames to untapped markets pulling in a new audience of gamers that typically did not play games in the past; Boogie will give these diverse players something new to enjoy as well as share with their friends and family."

The best part about this game is that players will actually get to catch their best dance moves, record their own voice and make music videos with the music video creator, aside from belting out their favorite tunes or dancing to the latest hit songs.

There will be fun mini-games, co-op gameplay, head-to-head dance battles and karaoke parties making Boogie the perfect party game, and the perfect Wii game respectively, as Nintendo's next-gen machine is all about fun.

Keep in mind that this ideal entertainment package, suitable for gamers ranging from parents to children, has been rated 3+ by PEGI Europe and is launching August 31st. for Nintendo's Wii system.
