EA Boogies Once Again News

EA's Casual Entertainment label confirms the return of Boogie on Wii, but it's a little different this time...
It seems the muted reception to EA's Boogie hasn't deterred the publisher from one more stab, with confirmation of Boogie SuperStar currently in development for Wii.
Although the name returns, it appears that SuperStar heralds several changes, most notably the disappearance of the freaky John Travolta wannabe. Instead SuperStar is focussed towards a female audience with an all-new, customisable, character that at least looks a little more human.
Once again it's a case of signing and dancing with a microphone and Wii Remote to more than 40 songs made famous by artists such as Rihanna, Fergie, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Leona Lewis, Alicia Keys, Good Charlotte, Britney Spears, Kanye West, and many more. Taking place on a desert island with all the modern conveniences any aspiring superstar would want, the challenge is to ultimately impress the judges at the Boogie Star Show!
A further 30 songs will be available on International versions of the game for a more localised experience, with artists such as Melissa M (France), Monrose (Germany), Finley (Italy) and Fito y Fitipaldis (Spain).
Presumably recognising the lack of response, EA has also enlisted a "chart-topping, global music sensation" to promote the game, but we haven't got a clue who this actually is.
"Boogie SuperStar promotes self-expression, creativity and empowerment for girls worldwide," said Robert Nashak, VP of Casual Studios, EA Casual Entertainment. "We have created a game where girls don't just observe someone else's rise to fame, they experience it themselves, singing and dancing their way through a world most girls only dream about."
