Grease Coming to the Wii and DS

image

The hit musical Grease is coming to both the Wii and the DS; this could go somewhere horrible rather quickly.

505 Games has proudly announced that it is working on a videogame adaptation of Grease, the hit musical film starring Jon Travolta and Olivia Newton-John that was based on a hit musical play (but inspired an awesomely terrible sequel starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Maxwell Caulfield). The game is set to appear on Wii and DS consoles.

The Wii version is billed as being compatible with USB microphones and the Wii Balance Board; which means that the game will involve not only singing, but dancing, too. The DS version will apparently involve dancing, too, and DSi owners will be able to upload photos of their own faces to in-game characters.

Grease: The Game is, at heart, a party game. Aside from singing, there's supposed to be a bunch of mini-games involving racing down Thunder Road and games from the graduation carnival seen at the end of both the play and the movie.

Both games feature a story mode, too, where players work to win the heart of Sandy. The Wii version is also set to feature 16 songs from the movie. Maybe, if we're very lucky, there will be an unlockable Tony Manero costume for the Danny Zuko character.

You are not feeling very confident in the game are you?

KILL IT WITH FIRE!

Seriously though, it's from 505 Games. "Shovelware manufacturer" is a more appropriate title than "Game Developer" for this company.

This will not end well

This can only end so very badly....so, very badly

...There's nothing more to say to this then NO.

Does most of the DS's demographic even know what Grease is?

Oh Christ no...

Don't let it happen...

IT WILL NOT BE EOUGH!

NUKE IT FROM ORBIT!

YHeah, it'll be bad.

Prefacing this comment with the fact that I own a Wii and was playing it not 30 minutes ago...

Well, all the 45 year old moms need something to play after a Wii Fit session. The developers did a huge brainstorming session to figure out a word to tap into that demographic and after three hours they decided, Grease is the word. (God forgive me for using a Grease pun)

If that fails, I have the Death Star on standby.

But seriously, this is going to end either badly or bloodily.

This is probably for all those 60 year olds who desperately want to look hip in front of their kids, but end up straining their back.

......Son, i am Disappoint.

Its cool its gonna be a Game but.....for classics like Grease....it can only end badly.

NO 505 Games has X-Wings to take care of that. We must think bigger.

but on topic it could be worse could be high school musical.

I have a message here for the makers of this game from all the Wii owners who want their beloved console to be treated seriously by the gaming media;

You are not helping.

It buuur-uuurrrrrrnnnssss... -melts-

/tear

I actually like Grease (Yeah, sue me) and I think it's gonna suck. It's just too early, too early.

I like Wii and DS. I like "Grease". Even so, it sounds like a bad combo... a bad, confusing combo.

Now watch, it's going to end up being an amazing, surprise hit that sets the standard of gaming for the next decade.

Tell me, where did we go so wrong?

Oh you mean that one movie that Disney ripped off of with High School Musical?? Oh, now that's just fan-fucking-tastic.

I wish I could tell you....

Ze fuck? How can you make a game out of thi-

...Nevermind:

*Head asplode*

WE ALWAYS BE LIKE ONE!!!

Okay, I need to go lie down now...I was going to go get Reddead but...Ouch.

This gives me chills (not the good kind), and they're multiplying.

I'm a peaceful man. I'm not violent nor do I mind shovelware, as I don't play those games. But there is one thing in this world I loath...

It's Grease.

God, oh, god.

*sniff*

This bears the taint of heresy. EXTERMINATUS

....

*switches off lap-top, shambles into bed-room, fashions noose out of bedsheets, ties one end to lightbulb and hangs myself*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

shit now I have to kill myself

What is this I don't even

I got shovelware.
It's multiplyin'.
And I'm losin' control.
'Cause the power
This game's supplyin',
it's electrifyin'!

You better shape up,
'cause I need a game
and my wiimote's aimed at you.
You better shape up;
you better understand
to my Wii I must be true.

No other games left, nothin' left for me to do.

You're the game that I want.
(you are the game I want), o,o, oo, Nintendo.
The game that I want.
(you are the game I want want), o,o,oo, Nintendo.
The game that I want
(you are the game I want want), o,o,oo, Nintendo.
The game I need.
Oh, yes indeed.

I can't wait... to punch myself repeatedly if I have to play this game.

wtf!!?!??!?!
