E3: We Cheer Refuses to cave to Wii Titling Pressures

I realize that it’s probably closer in gameplay to Eye Toy Groove in that you follow on-screen trails with your Wii Remote but seeing all those girls dancing in perfect unison reminds me of Konami’s ParaPara Paradise. In reality, this is probably lifted from Namco’s Japanese creep-fest Idol sim The Idolmaster.

I’m a sucker for music/rhythm games that involve your arms so, yes, I will probably end up renting this one and breaking a sweat while pretend cheerleading. Oh, and kudos to Namco for refusing to call their game Wii Cheer and for packing in some impressive animations.
