We Sing 80s is a dedicated music game released in 2012 for the Nintendo Wii, focusing entirely on performing popular tracks from the 1980s. The core gameplay involves singing along to curated hits while matching on-screen pitch and timing prompts using a compatible microphone. Its unique appeal lies in its strict thematic adherence to the 80s soundscape, offering a specialized tracklist for fans of that specific decade's music.
The primary mechanic involves singing along to a curated selection of 80s tracks while following on-screen prompts that indicate pitch and timing. Players utilize compatible microphones to register their vocal performance. Success in the game is measured by how closely the player's pitch matches the original recording across the duration of the song.
As a main game release, the focus is on the extensive tracklist featuring hits from the 1980s. While specific mode names are not detailed, the gameplay loop typically centers on competitive or cooperative singing challenges. Players can usually compete against friends or attempt to achieve high scores individually across the entire library of included songs.
The defining characteristic of this title is its strict thematic adherence to the 1980s music scene. Unlike broader music games that span multiple decades, this game offers a deep dive into the specific soundscape, fashion, and energy of that particular era. This specialization allows for a highly focused tracklist catering specifically to fans of 80s pop, rock, and new wave.
This release is presented as a complete package. There are currently no officially documented downloadable content (DLC) packs or expansions available for this specific title, meaning the entire playable content is included in the initial 2012 release.
This music game was developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii console, leveraging its motion control capabilities and microphone compatibility for the singing mechanics.
