The Tendo Project – Daily Nintendo News

Just so you guys know, we got Roxy back. Apparently a crackhead picked her up from the middle of the road and sold her to a nice family who called us when they saw our flyers. I detail the whole saga over at GeekyPopular. Since that drama is over with, it’s back to the depressing reality of virtually zero game news coming out before E3. Seriously, enough is enough! There’s like nothing at all being announced and it’s getting a bit annoying. The best part of all this is the realization that during E3 I’m going to be hella busy with posts, which will probably give me full blown carpal tunnel typing it all up on my netbook…

Here at The Spin, we’ve got no problem pointing out how shit a game is. We did it with Daisy Fuentes Pilates and Your Shape w/Jenny McCarthy and Sexy Poker and We Cheer 2. Now, we get to do it with the next fail from those damned Frenchies at Ubisoft, Dance On Broadway. I hate this game already and I just heard about it. I’m going to blame So You Think You Can Dance, which I watch with Mrs. Mike. The show used to be pretty good, and by “used to be” I really mean “when T. Wall, Ivan, and Legacy danced that shit was awesome”. Now, it’s all lame “contemporary” dancing, which is basically a jump-spin move and being emo in slow-mo on the ground. So, there you have it, Dance On Broadway is the next fail and I wish Ubisoft would have sent me a check equaling whatever amount they dumped into the game instead of punishing their staff by forcing them to develop the title.

If you feel like torturing yourself, you can find the full press release for Dance On Broadway after the jump. The jump will directly follow a video of dancing that I actually like. It’s those masked weirdos Jabbawockeez showing everyone at SYTYCD what real dancing is all about. Enjoy, and stay thirsty my friends.

Update: I’ve been YouTubeing dance videos for the past hour and needed to add a video from The League of Extraordinary Dancers. This crew is so effing sick, and my main man Legacy (LEGACY!!) is the first B-boy who takes the lead when they get started. You’re welcome.
