Dear god, can developers at least just keep making Gamecube quality games that incorperate Wii controls, because even that would satisfy me. Its as though the need to justify the controller has turned the game developing community into toddlers.

Believe it or not, I'm into this kind of crap. One of the more interesting uses of the Wii's strengths. This will sell, and at least it's not a port.

Come on, everyone yells that there are no original games that take full advantage of the Wii. Here comes one and everyone cries.

I'm curious, that much is certain.

I'll give it a rental before I write it off. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

The Rayman rhythm game was the best out of all the minigames IMO, so I'll definitely try this out.

While I'm excited that ea is seeing the potential of the Wii, in releasing new IPs and original games, but I'm not into the this sort of game. Brutal is right, it'll sell, which is good, but I'm still waiting for a deeper, more cinematic game. EA playground? bleh...I'm just waiting for metroid and mario and that. I think 08 will be the year the wii reaches its potential finally. These types of games will be less important and some blockbusters will be announced, I think RE:UC will be the begining of epic 3rd party games. Not to say that the game will be epic, but I think devs will see it's potential, and that by then the user base will be hard not to taken more seriously

A dancing game?

Judging by the extremely unrealistic motion that video showed, I'm getting the players won't be making an effort to duplicated the on-screen actor. This means they'll be playing some jazz-ed up Parappa or DDR...only with a controller than hurts your wrist and arm after thirty minutes.

I'm all over it.

It'll sell like crazy, I bet. Too bad it doesn't look interesting right now in the least. Hardly the game to point to for lack of a Wii game drought.
