Looks like it could be a lot of fun!

Let it not be said that EA isn't doing their part for the Wii.

After all, the press release says that players test their dancing and SINGING skills.
This also means that the mic could be a head set. I mean, how can you dance with the Wii and nunchuk while handling a mic?

Screens remind me of Nightmare Before Christmas. Also, you cal clearly see alcoholic drinks at the bar behind the dancer.
That's a first for a dancing game...

The characters look too monster like to be just a normal set of dancers.

First ever official Wii drinking game! Mario Party 8 will be the first Unofficial drinking game...

Someone commented in the Go Nintendo article that they should have used the Miis for the music videos. That would've been awesome, but that's something that Nintendo needs to do first.
BRING BACK TALENT STUDIO NINTENDO!
EDIT: You heard it people, HE wanted to hear it. So don't bitch at me about it...
I was going to say...
But I thought black people were supposed to have good rhythm and only white people need alcohol to enjoy themselves...
There I said it!

That's an unfair stereotype.
Black and Latino people have EVERY right to be just as awkward and uncoordinated as the average white person.
Asians, though, are born knowing every last intricacy of rhythm and dexterity and thus have no excuse for not being excellent dancers.

I think that since the Wii came out it made EA to wake up and get off their asses to make awesome games again.

You've obviously never seen P-Diddy dance. He sucks ass.
But yes, as a black person, I can say without any prejudice that black people do have excellent rhythm.

It mentions players singing but doesn't mention a Mic/Headset!
It shows nunchuckish diagrams but doesn't explain how they work!
It doesn't even attempt to describe any actual specifics on how the game is played, just says "dancing" and lets us flounder with the rest.
It links to a German site as a source, confounding us monolinguals.
Was that even an official reveal?

QuoteWhatever it was P-Diddy was doing on the dance floor(that some call dancing) doesn't mean he wasn't atleast doing it to the beat. Therefore the point stands.

Well, when Disney announced High School Musical the game, they mention that there will be singing but no word of a Wii Microphone. The rumors came from a store list which lists HSM as being bundled with a microphone. So for now its safe to assume that a mic will be released soon.
As for the specifics, if this is official, EA will more than likely make a press release soon. Hang in there!

Of course, with two threads practically destroyed, it will be a wonder if this one ultimately survives.
On topic: I've never played a dance game or a karaoke game, but I'm glad to see EA cashing in on their popularity and bringing something that sounds really cool to the Wii at the same time.

Select quotes:

Caballero noted that the team has not yet made a concrete decision as to how to how the game's singing component will work, but it is likely that players will use a microphone in order to facilitate a karaoke-like function.
Quote
Boogie is expected to contain between 40 and 50 licensed tracks; Caballero danced along to KC and the Sunshine Band's "That's the Way (I Like It)."
Quote
Moving the nunchuk actually moves the player's character in real time along with the nunchuk's motions. Simultaneously, the character's head and eyes follow the remote's pointer, allowing players to add an extra layer of personality to the dancing action.

I bought the Wii so that my girlfriend would play video games with me... not so I would have to play video games with her. This definately looks like something I will loathe - and eventually own - thanks to her...

That'll teach you to value female companionship over personal freedom!
