Hudson Soft's Wii effort Karaoke Joysound is coming to North America, according to a listing by the ESRB.

Before Hudson Soft was absorbed into Konami, the company released several karaoke games exclusively for the Wii in Japan. The game was connected to an online database of songs where players could select up to 65,000 plus songs. Karaoke Joysound also offered a subscription service where players could buy daily or month tickets using Wii Points.

The game will be published by Konami when it is released in North America. While the ESRB listing doesn't mention if some of the original subscription features will be retained, it is expected that English language songs will be present in the final release. The listing mentions Britney Spears' "Womanizer" and Nickelback's "How Your Remind Me".
