We Sing 80s Edition Announced

Nordic Games has today announced the very latest addition to its extremely popular singing game franchise – We Sing 80s. Yes, it’s the decade of big hair, shoulder pads, and some of the best pop and rock music around that’s still getting everyone up on the dance floor and singing along to this day. Due for release in October, We Sing 80s will feature 30 nostalgic favourites, including plenty of cult 80s hits and fabulous disco tracks, all of which will include the original videos. As with the previous We Sing games, each song will have its own difficulty rating and can be played in short or full-length song modes.

Quote:

“This addition to the We Sing collection will replicate everything that the 80s was adored for,” says Nik Blower, Sales and Marketing Director, Nordic Games. “The game’s customisable interface means that it will be packed full of flamboyance, big hair and disco colours as we continue to provide fans and new friends of the series with a fresh singing experience.”


As usual, the game will support up to four players simultaneously using four separate microphones in any of the eight multiplayer modes. Party modes include We Sing, Versus, Group Battle, Pass The Mic, First to X, Marathon, Blind and Expert, and there’s also a Solo mode that can be played in Blind and Expert mode. You can even get stuck into Karaoke mode if you’re really confident, giving yourself the chance to sing without the aid of vocals.

We Sing 80s is packed with all the usual We Sing features, including Singing Lessons and Jukebox. There are even Player Statistics to show you how well, or badly, you did! We Sing games are always a lot of fun with great tracklists, so it’ll be interesting to see what 80s hits have made it into the game when they’re announced.

Help with using Mii in Wii Fit Plus

I’m interested in seeing how Mii characters can be used in Wii Fit Plus exergames. Specifically, I’d like to identify those games in which one can use a Mii character as a 2nd person exercising (besides the player him/herself). This could be as an exercise partner, a trainer, or a teammate. I’m especially interested in those games where one has some control over how hard that 2nd person is exercising (for example, so that the partner/teammate is providing a challenging comparison level for the player).

I’m a complete Wii novice (please don’t assume I know anything :frown5:) and appreciate any help that anyone can offer.

Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise Out On Wii in Europe July 6

Nintendo announced today that Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise will be dancing into European stores on July 6. This is the first time that the game has appeared on a home console rather than a handheld, with the Wii version featuring 50 brand new rhythm games, as well as the eccentric characters and silly situations that Rhythm Paradise fans know and love. From playing golf with mandrill to controlling a flowerpot-punching karate man, everything in the game has to be done in time to the beat in order to win. Gameplay is all about not letting the madcap antics on screen put you off keeping the beat in time to the music. Even so, you’ll want to take time out to watch the short stories that accompany each of the 50 rhythm games, all of them steeped in familiar Rhythm Paradise humour. Also, as a European exclusive, fans will be able to switch between the Japanese and English soundtracks covering many musical styles. Another new feature of the game is the ability to check the correct performance of each song to help you master the required rhythm.

Some of the games can also be played in co-op mode, which is where you get to invite a friend to play with you, with the aim being to play together, with each of you mastering the different rhythms; the more compatible you are, the higher your score. You can also challenge a friend to an Endless Dual Game, where the action gets progressively harder the further you go.
