Man, this game actually sounds kinda fun!

– Comes out January 18th, 2013
– “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
– Gamepad has a mixer that can mess with the audio and add effects
– You can mute the music so the singer has to perform a capella (hahaha…)
– You can tone down the volume of the original vocals so the singer can be heard better
– Add reverb effects to the singer
– “Team Mode” has teams facing off in singing competitions
– Compete for “best solo”, “best group”, etc
– Sing together as though you’re a pop group
– Someone can be the judge of these competitions if you want
– “Practice Mode” lets you practice songs’ tricky parts
– Practice loops over and over
– Scores and accomplishments (that’s my paraphrase, NOT a secret hidden reference to anything) can be posted on Miiverse for all to see
– “It has been an incredible privilege to work side by side with Nintendo on SiNG PARTY and we are extremely proud of the game, “ says Creative Director Jamie Jackson.
– Songs include: “Call me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen, “Glad You Came” by The Wanted, “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz, “Just a Kiss” by Lady Antebellum, “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen, “You Can’t Hurry Love” by The Supremes, “I Want You Back” by The Jackson 5, many more
– There will be DLC

“We are making a new game on Nintendo 3DS now. Not multiplatform, but exclusive to 3DS.” – Treasure boss Masato Maegawa

He didn’t offer any other details on the game other than that it’s an “action” title, but I think we can be pretty sure that if you’ve enjoyed Treasure games in the past you’ll continue to enjoy them into the future, and this one will likely be no exception. I can’t wait to hear what it is!

Peter Moore, talking about eliminating the issue of used games by embracing Free-to-Play:

“Used games were a bigger issue for the industry – I wasn’t resigned to it, but I recognised that it was the right of gamers and the right of our retailer. To be very fair, GameStop has always been very public about the fact that [they] keep the ecosystem moving with revenue that comes in, and it’s not like they go and take their game credit and go to McDonald’s and buy burgers. They re-up into new games.” – EA COO Peter Moore

Something I can really respect is someone who says “I don’t like this, but I understand why it’s important and I won’t try to change it.”. Even though I don’t like EA a lot of the time, I sure do like Peter Moore!
