Activision Twirls Back into the Spotlight with Dancing with the Stars(TM): Get Your Dance On! for Wii(TM) and Nintendo DS(TM)
Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today the Fall 2008 release of Dancing with the Stars(TM): Get Your Dance On!, the sequel to last year's rhythm-packed Dancing with the Stars(TM) videogame. They have once again teamed up with Disney-ABC Television Group's ABC Entertainment and BBC Worldwide America to create this all new game for Wii(TM) and Nintendo DS(TM). Players will engage in the battle of the ballroom with more stars, more dances, more intense competition - and more fun!
"'Dancing with the Stars' is an ongoing cultural phenomenon that appeals to people of all ages. It is mainstream entertainment at its best," said Dave Oxford, Activision Publishing. "We feel the game is the perfect opportunity to evolve the idea of 'active family fun'."
Dancing with the Stars(TM): Get Your Dance On! features all-new stars such as Mel B, Apolo Anton Ohno, Joey Fatone and Jennie Garth. Players will be able to cha-cha with new professional dancers including Derek Hough, and his sister, two-time "Dancing with the Stars" champion, Julianne Hough.
The Wii(TM) version improves on the original with refined Wii(TM) Remote and Nunchuck controls to enact their favorite dances. Other additions include all-new special "flair" moves that will wow the judges. Dancing with the Stars(TM): Get Your Dance On! for Nintendo DS(TM) brings a fresh take on the rhythm game genre, complete with the ability to change outfits and swap partners at the player's whim.
