THQ has revealed that All Star Cheer Squad, the first-ever cheerleading video game, is currently in development and is scheduled to debut exclusively for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS this fall. In All Star Cheer Squad, players will follow a year in the life of a cheerleader as they learn new cheers, participate in practices and create their own routines to make the squad and eventually become captain. High-energy gameplay includes squad competitions and one-on-one cheer-offs, where players will use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to perform dozens of real-world cheer and dance moves.
All Star Cheer Squad will also incorporate use of the Wii Balance Board to get the player’s entire body involved in the game and add to the ultimate cheerleading experience. Players will be able to customize the look of their cheerleader and squad including body, facial features, hair and outfits. The Nintendo DS version of the game will feature a storyline unique to the system that focuses on the adventure of cheerleading camp, where players will compete to beat the rival camp.
No word as of yet, if spirit fingers are involved.
