EA has just sent word that Boogie will be released in Australia on August 30th, but with no retail price yet. EA again confirms for us that the game will be coming with a microphone and also hinted at some of the tracks (not originals however) that will be featured in the game. The game will feature new versions of tracks made popular by hit bands including The Jackson 5, Kool & The Gang, M.C. Hammer, The Village People, Cyndi Lauper and Britney Spears. Not sure about last one but it doesn’t sound too bad. There is also a new trailer of the game which can be found here. Could Boogie be the Wii’s Singstar? .
