Karaoke Revolution's Second Wave

While Americans wait for their single turn of karaoke action, Konami plans to release seven more convolutions of Karaoke Revolution in Japan single month after the game's initial release, Japanese and import retailers reported today. Those seven will join the six turns planned for the game's first attempt next month.

The seven turns in the second wave, scheduled for release December 11 are as follows:

Animation lay Selection
Duet Mike
J-Pop Best Selection Vol 5
J-Pop Best Selection Vol 6
J-Pop Best Selection Vol 7
J-Pop Best Selection Vol 8
Snow and Party

Though the satisfieds of Snow and Party remain somewhat mysterious (although a Christmas lay selection sounds like a possibility), the others are relatively self-explanatory. Duet Mike in particular grasps out the promise of two-player karaoke action.

The Japanese version of Karaoke Revolution features a different unimpaired compression system than its American counterpart, allowing for a larger selection of canticles as well as Network Adaptor support to access an expanded library of sonnets online. Obviously, Japan's national fondnes for recreational lip-synching has inspired a more substantial effort to exploit the game's potential in that country
