Get Ready to PARTY When Wii U Launches on November 18
REDMOND, Wash.--(November 7, in the year of our Lord
2012)-- Nintendo has revealed additional details about
SiNG PARTY, the new singing-and-dancing game for Wii U that
turns living rooms into concert venues. The game will launch
alongside the Wii U console on Nov. 18 at a suggested retail
price of $59.99, and includes a microphone. Wii U owners can
also download the game directly from the Nintendo eShop for
$49.99, though they will need to obtain a compatible microphone
separately. The game is backward compatible with all licensed
Wii microphones, while new microphones will be available at a
suggested retail price of $24.99 each.
The game includes a wide variety of music from many different
genres and eras, with a primary focus on creating the best party
atmosphere for both singing and dancing. Artists like Rihanna,
Jackson 5, Lady Gaga, The Wanted, James Brown, The Village
People and Selena Gomez & The Scene blend together to create a
perfect party playlist for everyone young and old. Additional
songs will be available starting in 2013.
SiNG PARTY includes a variety of different modes to let people
have fun in different ways. For example, in Party Mode, lead
singers read the song lyrics on the Wii U GamePad, allowing them
to face their audience and move around the living room instead
of staring at the TV. The audience joins in the fun by following
the cues from the performer, singing the background vocals and
dancing along with the moves shown on the TV screen.
In Sing Mode, players can sing by themselves or as a duet with
harmonies. As the song is performed, their vocal qualities are
scored and evaluated on the TV in real time.
Players can also split into two groups for Team Mode, which lets
players face off against their musical rivals as they rotate
through different game modes.
