Activision is making a new Dancing with the Stars game for Nintendo Wii and DS consoles. This is the follow up to last year’s successful game. The new game will be titled Dancing with the Stars: Get Your Game On.

Get Your Game On will feature new stars such as Joey Fatone, Mel B, Apolo Anton Ohno, and Jennie Garth. There are also new professional dancers to choose from like Derek Hough and his sister, two-time champion Julianne Hough.

The new Wii version will still use the Wii remote and will feature a new flair move. Dave Oxford from Activision Publishing has this to say about the game:

“Dancing with the Stars is an ongoing cultural phenomenon that appeals to people of all ages. It is mainstream entertainment at its best. We feel the game is the perfect opportunity to evolve the idea of ‘active family fun’.”

I’m sure my aunt who is a huge fan of the show will be dying to get her hands on this new game. I just hope that they do something about the single player mode. The previous game’s single player mode has no competition except against computer controlled dancers.

Majesco is set to release a new Cooking Mama game for the Nintendo Wii at the last quarter of this year. Unlike previous the version of the game, Cooking Mama World Kitchen will be in 3D. With this graphic upgrade also comes new game play mechanics.

According to the developer, new mini-games are added to add a new dimension to the game. An example is when you make a mistake while flipping burgers, a mini-game will be triggered. You’ll gain control of Mama as you try to catch the burger with your apron. That would definitely make the game more attractive and less a routine.

Are you tired of your White Nintendo Wii console and you wish that it came in a more exciting color. Then this concept design will electrify you.

Take a look at Elliot Ortiz’ Nintendo Dragon. This concept design is the reinvention of the Wii and comes with its own speakers. The designer envisions it to be the centerpiece of your entertainment and media room.

Obviously, the Nintendo Dragon concept is made with the iMac crowd in mind. If this is made into production, I expect guys would be lining up for this. For their girlfriends, that is…

What do you think about this concept? Should it see the light of day?
