If you thought Wii Fit’s balance board was a one-trick pony, destined to lie snug under the bed beside the Super Scope and Slide Controller, then cast your eyes EA-wards for rumours of its use in the sequel to last year’s Boogie, their Wii rhythm action game that we’ve all nearly forgotten about by now.
Slightly spurious games gossip-monger, Surfer Girl has psst-ed another secret development into the ears of every gamer in the land. Our take? It could work. Wii Fit’s already shown us its dance moves with some sedately paced step exercises in time to music, so taking it to the next level, Wiimote in hand, Boogie at least has a base to build on. Although, we’d take a good old-fashioned dance mat any day of the week.
Speaking of which, Dance Dance Revolution’s Hottest Party, the first of Konami’s dance forays into Wii territory hasn’t been setting the world on fire overseas and probably won’t when it comes over here. Hopefully Boogie number two can improve on that and its own disappointing execution to deliver some mainstream thrills, all the while nagging at us to shift the weight onto our left foot until we chuck in the cupboard beside our Wii Zapper.
