Wii “Happy Dance Collection”.. buy or not buy?

It’s finally out next month on October 23rd.

Happy Dance Collection is a Mizuki Nana game rhythm dancing game for Nintendo Wii, moving around your Wii remote as seen in the screencaps below..


..no idea how to do that.

The game will (only) have 24 songs, including Mizuki Nana’s 4 original songs with different tunes: a fun song, a slow ballad, a soulful R&B, and an energetic live song. LOL @ ballad, but Nana said the choreography fits well and wasn’t weird when she tried.. let’s just hope it wasn’t a marketing speech xD

..and to be honest I’m not so sure with the song choices. I only know some of the J-POP songs, know all the anime songs but will feel stupid dancing to them, and why the heck there will be only ONE Idolm@ster song? >_>

Anyway, here’s the song list:

J-POP
Kibun Jojo ↑↑ (Mihimaru GT)
Koko ni Iru yo feat. Aoyama Thelma (SoulJa)
Natsumatsuri (?)
Aiuta (GReeeeN)
Ikenai Taiyou (ORANGE RANGE)
KISS-shite (KOH+)
Choo Choo TRAIN (EXILE)
ASIA no Junshin (PUFFY)
CUTIE HONEY (some said it’s Koda Kumi’s.. can I have Makkun’s? :P)
POP STAR (Hirai Ken)
LOVE MACHINE (Morning Musume)
Aoi Sangoshou, Rock’n Rouge, Natsu no Tobira, Akai Sweet Pea (Matsuda Seiko medley)

Anime/Game
Chance! (Kirarin☆Revolution)
Happy☆彡 (Kirarin☆Revolution)
Together (Pokemon)
Hagushichao (Doraemon)
Precure 5, Full Throttle GoGo! (Yes! Precure 5 GoGo!)
Precure 5 Smile, go go! (Yes! Precure 5)
Anpanman no March (Soreike! Anpanman)
GO MY WAY!! (Idolm@ster)


Main characters Ai (Mizuki Nana) and Yuuki (no idea who).

When I knew Nana would voice the protagonist AND sing 4 original songs, I thought this would be a no-brainer for me.. but will it worth the effort? Since I need that Wii FreeLoader thing too so my dust-collector Australian PAL Wii can play NTSC-J games without modding it.. the gameplay is okay, but the song list is not helping at all (Nana’s CD is considered bought, though). Unless they put a bonus DVD of Nana playing the game.. then I’ll get it, lol.

Here’s the official site, but nothing to see there.
