This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Boogie SuperStar for Nintendo Wii
Boogie SuperStar for Nintendo Wii lets you create your own singer and dancer and work towards a place on stage. The soundtrack contains more than forty cover versions of pop hits associated with artists including Rihanna, Katy Perry, Leona Lewis, Maroon 5 and Britney Spears. When singing, you follow lyrics, rhythm and pitch through a USB microphone. Dance challenges use the Wii Remote to measure movement direction and timing.
The star career begins with auditions and continues through training sessions, challenges and performances. New clothes, hairstyles and stage items gradually give your character a personal appearance. Dancing is less free-form than in the first Boogie: arrows and two-part movement patterns show when to move left, right, up or down. In karaoke, the combination of correct pitch and rhythm mainly determines the score.
Alongside the solo career are local contests in which two or four participants sing and dance with or against one another. Each active dancer needs a Wii Remote; singing requires a compatible USB microphone. The Wii Balance Board is not supported. All career content and the soundtrack are on the disc, with no required network features. A microphone that may originally have been bundled is not automatically included with a standalone pre-owned game.
Region and language
Our Nintendo Wii games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Boogie SuperStar supports one to four local players. Dancing requires enough Wii Remotes, and singing requires a compatible USB microphone. The Wii Balance Board is not supported; a microphone is included only when the product information explicitly says so.
Manual
Boogie SuperStar for Nintendo Wii includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Boogie SuperStar
EA Montreal developed Boogie SuperStar, and Electronic Arts released the game exclusively for Nintendo Wii in October 2008. It is the sequel to 2007's Boogie, but the designers chose a new cast, a pop-oriented star career and clearer dance input. International promotion emphasised singing and moving yourself rather than merely watching a performer on screen.
The worldwide soundtrack contained more than forty familiar songs performed as covers. Certain international editions also added local artists, so not every region shows exactly the same list on the packaging. The Wii Remote registers simple directional movements, while the microphone judges rhythm and pitch. Despite early reports, Electronic Arts confirmed that the finished game does not use the Wii Balance Board.
Boogie SuperStar is not an expansion for the first Boogie: its career, characters, songs and dance rules stand alone on this disc. The game supports larger local contests than its predecessor but retains the separation between dancing and singing. Online downloads are not needed to complete the career. The physical Wii version can therefore be described through its included covers, local controls and unlockable clothing and stages.
Similar games for Nintendo Wii
The first Boogie combines freer dance controls, karaoke and a music-video editor for one or two players. Boogie SuperStar replaces the editor with a star career, clearer movement prompts and contests for up to four participants. Both use a USB microphone for singing. The older game puts more emphasis on creating your own clip, while SuperStar uses clothing and stages as career rewards.
Just Dance focuses entirely on copying fixed choreographies with the Wii Remote and does not use a vocal microphone. Boogie SuperStar divides its content between separate singing and dancing challenges and links them to a customisable performer and career.
We Sing is a karaoke game in which up to four singers follow music videos and are judged through USB microphones. Boogie SuperStar adds dance contests and character customisation but does not place the same emphasis on simultaneous multi-singer karaoke and official artist footage.
Disney Sing It: Pop Hits uses familiar Disney and teen-pop artists, music videos and duets. Boogie SuperStar works with cover recordings and an original virtual star. Both judge vocals by rhythm and pitch, but Boogie adds a complete series of movement challenges.
Dance on Broadway has players follow choreography from musicals and presents every song as a fixed theatre scene. Boogie SuperStar uses modern pop covers, auditions and a customised character. Both let up to four players move, but only Boogie combines those dance contests with karaoke through a USB microphone. SuperStar's career also gives separate performances an ongoing unlock structure that Dance on Broadway does not use in the same way.
