Natasha Bedingfield Lends Star Power as Spokesperson for EA's
Boogie SuperStar for Wii
LOS ANGELES, Aug 27, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
The Casual Entertainment Label of Electronic Arts, Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS)
unleashes the star power behind its upcoming Boogie(TM)
SuperStar game for Wii(TM) today with
the announcement of international music sensation Natasha Bedingfield as
the game's featured spokesperson.
Additionally, EA unveils the full Boogie SuperStar soundtrack
including nearly 40 hit singles made famous by today's
hottest artists.
Bedingfield, who has topped the Billboard charts with number one singles
and albums in both the U.S. and the U.K., has joined forces with EA to
promote the game, which allows girls to perform their favorite
Bedingfield songs including her current single "Angel,"
"Love Like This,"
and the title track from her new hit album Pocketful of Sunshine.
"Boogie SuperStar brings to life all
the fun and excitement of performing," said
Bedingfield. "Being on stage is such a thrill
and it's great to be a part of an EA video
game that lets girls experience how much fun it is to express themselves
and explore their own creativity by performing."
In Boogie SuperStar, players don't
just play along, they are the star of the game. Girls will have a blast
belting their favorite tunes into the microphone, and performing real
dance moves that are captured on screen using the Wii's
motion-sensing technology. The journey to stardom doesn't
have to be a solo! Girls can also sing and dance with their friends or
against them in fun competitions that show-off their singing and dancing
talent.
"Boogie SuperStar represents a new
level in the convergence of games and music,"
said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive for Music and Marketing. "EA
has combined the very best game interactive capabilities of the Wii
technology and the Boogie brand to form an unprecedented
soundtrack with the hottest new tracks made famous by the biggest
artists in the world today. We've been
actively involved in Natasha's career since
its inception, and we're proud to have a star
like her actively involved."
Featuring nearly 40 of today's hottest tracks
plus additional tracks for an International version, Boogie SuperStar
will have girls bursting with excitement as they discover they can both
sing and dance to their favorite songs in one game. The North American
version of the game will also feature four hidden tracks --
each can be unlocked with a code provided by four major retailers.
