A Namco Rhythm Game simulating cheerleading, released for the Wii in 2008. In terms of gameplay, it's like a motion controlled Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan / Elite Beat Agents, where you move the controller(s) in synch with the indicators. Just instead of dots you have lines that show you which direction to move the controller.
The first game was a modest hit, selling nearly half a million copies. The second game has sold about half that much, but did feature noticeable improvements, such as testing out the lag adjustment in the options menu, and more forgiving difficulties.
Compare All Star Cheer Squad, Just Dance, Dance Central.
This game provides examples of:
- And Your Reward Is Clothes
- Animesque: The girls look like a cross between this and Bratz.
- Bears Are Bad News: See Shout Out below.
- Character Customization: The second game, where you can pretty much customize your team's faces and uniforms to a ridiculous degree. And yes, someone already tried a crossover
with Elite Beat Agents. - Company Cross References: To other Namco games.
- Exergaming: The games have an exercise mode, and while not as extensive as Wii Fit, EA Sports Active, or The Biggest Loser game, it can still be a strong cardio burn.
- Girlish Pigtails: Ai, Ling
- Sequel Escalation: In terms of the customization.
- Super Title 64 Advance: Since "We" is pretty close to "Wii".
- Unlockable Content
- Virtual Paper Doll: All cheerleader clothes, of course.
- There are some casual outfits for you squad to wear, although they would probably be Awesome, yet Impractical in Real Life. Have you ever tried dancing in skinny jeans?
- Writing Around Trademarks: Since the term "Wii" belongs to Nintendo, it was less costly just to tweak the name.
