Looks like some studios have finally run out of things to make video games about — 505 Games and Paramount Digital have just released a statement detailing their intentions to release a Nintendo Wii title based on Grease the movie.

Grease: The Video Game is reportedly a singing, dancing party gme that uses a microphone in addition to the Wii motion controller. 505 Games’ president Adam Kline had this to say:

“The ‘Grease’ movie is a timeless pop culture icon, and 505 Games is eager to bring the first interactive experience based on the film to fans around the world. We’re looking forward to working with Paramount Digital Entertainment to put players in the middle of all the fun with this all-new video game.”

Anyone excited?

An alliance between 505 Games and Rolling Stone magazine was recently forged to bring the Wii title Rolling Stone: Drum King to North America.

Don’t go thinking you’ll have to shell out another $100+ for this game as it’ll utilize the Wiimote and Nunchuk in place of actual drumsticks.

Publisher of Rolling Stone magainze Will Schenck had this to say about the partnership:

For more than 40 years, Rolling Stone has been a staple in the voice of American music culture and entertainment and we are pleased to collaborate with 505 Games as we venture into video games for the first time. With more people playing console video games than ever before, this was a natural next step for the Rolling Stone brand.

Rolling Stone: Drum King is set to be released sometime later this spring and thanks to Kotaku we have a list of all 29 original songs cover songs that will be featured in the game; check it out after the break. READ ON »
