Twelve Hours of Unstoppable Thunder Knob

Remember the karaoke app that Nintendo announced on one of it's Direct presentations before the Wii U was launched? After coming out in Japan, it's back again, and heading to the west...that's us!

I'm not clutching at straws here: I think this is an interesting prospect, specifically the time-based payment system. Karaoke, anyone?

I can hear nupkin's excitement from here.

I do think the subscription element is a better proposition than the Lips/Singstar "buy-a-song" model, certainly.

Depends on the tracklist, it'll be tough to beat singstar for me as I already have quite a few songs on that.

Looks like an interesting idea, and it should sell - karaoke games always tend to shift a decent amount.

Making it available for a day or so is a good idea if the price is right, most people tend to have Karaoke nights not Karaoke weeks, I can't emphasise the "if the price is right" part enough though.

I wish I could have a Kareoke week...  

This is awesome. Just hope the selection of songs is as wide as it is in Japan, for that authentic feeling (or something like that).

I think I'll stick to dancing

Balla has essentially made the same comment - this is not a game I will be interested in but my girlfriend might love it. She was looking at a Wii game in the same genre but it didn't come with a microphone. If this does, it might be a winner.

It doesn't but it can use the gamepad's mic and any USB mic, including the one that comes with SiNG Party.

Can we have a double date karaoke party sometime? I am very competitive mind, and if there's a vibrato bonus I will be at great pains to shatter some glasses!

No promises but we can try! My singing voice frightens snakes, mind you...
