Karaoke Comes To Wii!

Posted May 25, 2006 at 8:02AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Wii Tags: karaoke

I have to admit I've never done any Karaoke, I've always been worried that my not quite rock star looks, nails on chalkboard voice and general lack of any rhythmic ability whatsoever would cause riots in the streets leading to personal bodily harm. I've always wanted to though, maybe some day I'll get the chance. Maybe some day some innovative console maker with an amazing new controller will implement some sort of built in microphone. Maybe this company will be Nintendo... maybe Nintendo owns the domain name wiikaraoke.com(redirects to the Nintendo homepage at the mo)... maybe I'll finally get to live out my dream of singing Tina Turner's Simply The Best in the privacy of my own home. Maybe with the VOIP functionality I'll finally get to sing the rare duet "MC Hammer versus Vanilla Ice" with my bro! Hot dang! It's gonna get all crazy up in here!

You know, you could just get singstar.

# Guest 2006-05-25 05:05

or you could not waste money on a highly-overrated/overpriced console!

# It's not about the game... — Guest 2006-05-25 05:27

It's about the microphone! This is backing up the mic-in-wiimote rumours. And that's just great

# Well its all falling into place — Guest 2006-05-25 06:12

# ^ Yea — Guest 2006-05-25 07:53

Yea have you seen the trailer? He sounds stupid now, no offense to Vin, but the other guy was way better.

# i hate the new voice — Branden 2006-05-25 09:38

i wonder what happpend to the old guy. maybe he got like some diseae in his throat. i hope not cause i want him back. any one would agree right

# hmmmm — Guest 2006-05-25 11:31

I'll stick to Singstar/Karaoke Revolution...no matter which system it's on.

I love Nintendo and all..but why would I karaoke to the Pokemon Theme when I can be Shakin my ass to Beyonce and the other 2 Rejects from Destiny's Heifers?

# . — Guest 2006-05-25 12:32

imagine if you could join a group of people over wii online, that would rule

# Oh God... — Guest 2006-05-25 17:06

#11, you really opened my eyes to what this karaoke game could turn into! I hope that they won't put in Nintendo music to sing to. This was the same reason I didn't buy Dance Dance Revolution! Mario Mix.
