We all know that LIPS was a huge runaway success that brought the casual crowd to Microsoft, draining the Wii of its fanbase and driving Nintendo into bankruptcy. Based upon that interstellar smash hit, it's hardly surprising that Microsoft wants to recapture the magic with a sequel, and some fresh intel may hint at it coming soon.
The Royalty Network is a site that catalogs licensing and royalty deals in the music industry, and it has recently mentioned a videogame called Lips Uno. The only other information is that the game is licensing Timberland's "The Way I Are." Judging by the stupidity of that song title, it would appear as if Lips Uno is following its predecessor and attempting to cater to the retard demographic.
Bear in mind that no mention has been made of a developer, publisher or platform. The Royalty Network couldn't give a stuff about all those details. However, since it bears the LIPS name, it looks like a pretty safe bet that the Xbox 360's SingStar wannabe is back.
There will be much rejoicing, I'm sure.
Does anybody actually play Lips? Even when it was new on the market, the only person I knew to actually have spent any significant time with the game was Anthony Burch. Here's how that turned out in case you missed it.

Lips. It’s a Microsoft-published karaoke videogame. The object of the videogame is to blow into a glowing microphone while a real song plays in the background. More air equals more points. Earned points can then be used...
I really dig singing games, but I will admit that I never got around to picking up Lips for the 360. What can I say -- I know I don't listen to much of the norm when it comes to popular music, but I just wasn't that attracted...
If you know me, you know that I love me some karaoke. I also own Lips, but admittedly haven't played it since some time last year. But they keep pumping out downloadable content for it, so someone must be playing it. Right? T...
Remember a while back when we discovered that Lips Uno had been trademarked? Looks like that little revelation did indeed herald the arrival of a new Lips sequel, with Lips: Number One Hits announced today by Microsoft. As yo...
I've been playing Guitar Hero: Metallica on the Xbox 360 for the past few days (review incoming!), and I'm kind of wondering why no one told me -- the wireless microphones that shipped with Microsoft's karaoke game Lips work ...
For the Xbox 360's first foray into the karaoke game genre, Lips wasn't too bad a start. However, there was one huge problem -- you didn't have to sing at all to win the game, which more or less countered the game's entire ex...
While Lips certainly might not be the end-all, be-all of karaoke or music games, the microphones are damned nice. For one, they're wireless. They also have a nice weight to them. And, best of all, they light up. Unfortun...
