Groove to the beat with Mickey, Minnie, and friends to 40 popular Disney songs in the latest iteration of the popular rhythm game. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=16940 It was almost eight years ago when the first game in the popular DanceDanceRevolution series debuted on a Nintendo home system. That game, which never saw release outside of Japan, was Dance Dance Revolution Disney's World Dancing Museum for the Nintendo 64. On Tuesday, Konami Digital Entertainment revealed that a new Disney themed DDR game is heading to Wii. DanceDanceRevolution: Disney Grooves will allow a new generation of gamers to dance to Disney tunes.
As with previous DDR games, players must finish dance challenges in order to gain access to all 40 Disney songs. Animated characters such as Mickey, Goofy, and the anthropomorphic duck, Donald appear in the game.
Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment said that the game will employ the "unique capabilities of the Wii to offer [the] ultimate interactive dancing experience." One feature that could only appear on the Wii is the Dressing Room mode in which players can guise their Mii's in Disney outfits.
New costumes, songs, and stages can be unlocked in the mode called Groove World. Players will have the opportunity to take snapshots of their Mii with a Disney character in the My Studio mode. A Training Mode, Advanced Mode, and Workout Mode are also included in the package.
DanceDanceRevolution: Disney Grooves is set for release in March 2009. The game will also be available in a bundle that features a dance pad controller.
