Wow, this news story is popular!  :P:


I wonder how Just Dance 5: HD would control on Wii U?
Wii Remotes still? Using the camera on the uMote?


How about getting rid of the pretence that the controller does anything at all and having a random number generator for a score!

I had the same attitude about these games until this Christmas, playing Just Dance 3 with my family.  It is a ton of fun and a good workout, so I purchased it for myself.  As you get the rhythm better, you really do get better scores and some dances make that tricky.  Reviewers stating that you can get some points by shaking the controller are missing the point.

Unlike Dance Central, where you mainly dance in place, the choreography allows for a lot of movement and there is specific choreography for pairs or groups of 4.  There are also excellent mixes, some of which are designed for workouts.  It is a much better exercise game than Wii Fit Plus.

Picked up Just Dance 3 when it was marked down at Best Buy last week. I've been using Dance Dance Revolution as part of my "video game fun time" workout regiment with Wii Fit, but after five or so years, I'd gotten a bit burned out, so I figured it'd be a nice change of pace...

And holy crap. I don't know if I had just gotten used to DDR or what, cause it was quite the workout, leaving me breathless after about four songs... and this is a guy who regularly has 30+ minute DDR sessions on Difficult! I'm guessing it's because I'm using my entire body as compared to just my legs, but I'm enjoying it so far. I may go track down the earlier editions once I burn through this one.
