Wii Karaoke U by JOYSOUND

Sing

Enjoy a complete karaoke experience in the privacy of your own home. Whether you’re a pitch-perfect pop star, fancy practising your skills, or just wanna belt out some tunes with friends, there’s plenty of fun for everyone!

Please note that songs may contain explicit lyrics and deal with adult themes which may be unsuitable for some audiences.

Simple Controls

The Wii U GamePad makes it a breeze to manage the music: queue up songs as someone else is singing, rearrange the order of the upcoming list, or change the tempo and musical key of a track. You’re in control!

It’s possible to sing using the microphone on the Wii U GamePad, but you can also use a USB microphone (for example the Wii U Microphone, sold separately) to play. Two microphones can be connected simultaneously, so you can sing like a star alongside a friend.

Before you jump in and purchase a Ticket though, make sure you use your free trial**: this gives you access to all the features of the software for a whole hour, so you can see how much fun it is without paying a penny!

Feeling a bit more confident? The software also features several modes where your performance is given a Rating: you can choose just to receive a score at the end, get an in-depth analysis of your performance or take on other players across Europe as you try to top the rankings*.

Starter for Ten

If you need a bit of help getting into the swing of things, you’ll find the Collections very handy indeed. Simply choose a theme that appeals to you and you’ll be taken to a ready-made playlist of ten songs that are sure to get your party started!

Customise

With Wii Karaoke U by JOYSOUND you can really make the fun your own. Select from a variety of Backdrops, design your own stages, and head to a special area called My Room to set your preferences.

Design an Original Stage

The stages your Mii characters perform on can be personalised in all kinds of ways: choose from an outdoor stage or concert hall, decide on the positions of neon lights, arrange your backing dancers and choose their outfits.

Several customised stages can be stored, ready for use whenever the mood takes you – or the right track comes on. Once you’ve created a stage you can tweak it again at any time…

A variety of settings, such as microphone volume and echo type, can be saved for each Mii character in My Room – that way you can always sing using the settings that suit you, and get on with having fun!

Extras

Take it up a notch – split into teams and take on friends and family in Karaoke Battles, post screenshots of your best moments to Miiverse, and make your vocal extravaganza even more enjoyable*.

Karaoke Battles

Split into Red and Green teams, and sing themed songs to see which team’s performances get the best scores. Up to 10 players can compete so there’s no excuse to be a wallflower!

Achievements

As you play you’re sure to unlock a bunch of cool Achievements, which can be viewed in My Room. Do you have the performing prowess to get them all?

Wii Remote Instruments

Up to four Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers (sold separately) can be connected, so your mates can take charge of backing instrumentation while you take centre-stage.

Off-TV Play

When you’re singing the lyrics come up on the TV screen and other players can use the Wii U GamePad to queue up songs… but you can play without the TV at all. With Off-TV Play the lyrics come up on the GamePad instead!
