Namco introduces We Cheer for Wii

If you have a problem bringing it in real life, perhaps you should check out Namco's upcoming game, We Cheer. And now that we finally get a look at it, we must admit that we are feeling kind of the same as when we first heard about it: meh. Honestly, does this look good to you?

We'd say it's a nice title for the young'ns, but, to be honest, if it was our kid, we wouldn't let them play a game with all these girls in ridiculously skimpy cheerleading suits. It just stinks of Bratz. Are we alone in feeling that way?

We're not cheering for We Cheer

It turns out another cheerleading game that's not Ouendan is coming to the Wii. Can we get a facepalm, please?

Not that we have anything against cheerleading. We're just curious why there's a sudden revival of the sport, which has inspired two companies to bring it to the Wii. Seriously, people, it's been years since the Spartans SNL sketches or Bring it On made the general public view cheerleading as anything other than an excuse to ogle cute girls.

Nevertheless, joining THQ in the pep parade is Namco Bandai with a game called We Cheer. There's no word yet on whether Namco's game will involve the balance board, too, but we think it's a safe bet (think We Ski).

We hope this is the last cheerleading game we'll ever have to write about; unless, of course, iNiS feels inspired to bring an Ouendan adaptation to the Wii. We'd be totally fine with that. Seriously, iNiS, make it happen.

*Note: Looking up "cheerleader" in Google Image Search is absolutely scandalous.

THQ brings some pep to the Wii

Games publisher THQ announced today that they're adding yet another Wii game to their repertoire (how many is this now?). The subject of the game is, oddly enough, cheerleading, making it the first of its kind.

Unless you're a six-year-old girl, All Star Cheer Squad sounds pretty terrifying -- there's really no other way to describe "squad competitions and one-on-one cheer-offs." The game will also utilize the Balance Board, making it only the third confirmed Wii game to make use of the peripheral.

In case you're wondering what a cheerleading game might entail, it's probably what you'd expect: you learn cheers, make up a few of your own, practice them, and then perform.

So, tell us, readers: how funky is your chicken?

[Thanks, John!]
