Man, this game actually sounds kinda fun!

– “Party Mode” has one person singing the lyrics off of the Gamepad
– Others (who aren’t the singer) follow instructions for singing and dancing that will appear on the TV
– Microphone is wired, but I’m not sure whether it’s wired to the Gamepad or to the Wii U console
– Other players can pick up Wiimotes and use them as a tambourine, cowbell, etc
– “Sing Mode” has you reading the lyrics off of the T
– Judged on pitch, power, and flair
– Can be played solo or in a duet
– “Harmony Duet” option as part of “Sing Mode”
– Others can pass the gamepad around to queue up songs that they want to play next
