It’s no secret that Nintendo isn’t in the best shape right now. After finding great success with the Nintendo DS, the Wii launched and got the masses talking about Nintendo once again. Then something happened. The Wii’s sales plummeted, the Nintendo 3DS launched poorly, and investors are questioning Nintendo’s direction with their next console, the Wii-U. Nintendo is desperately trying to gain back momentum. What happened to Nintendo’s mojo? Well, Microsoft, the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade all have something to do with it.

To truly understand what’s at play here, we have to first consider why Nintendo has historically been a successful company. Nintendo has always excelled at making games that appeal to the masses. Nintendo makes games that anyone can pick up and play. Mario has been a part of our living room since 1983 because Mario games have always been easily approachable for anyone who wants to sit down and play. Whether it’s you, your little sister, your best buddy or your dead beat uncle, Nintendo makes products for everyone. When Nintendo is succeeding, it has always been the case. So why are the tables turning?

The latest addition to the ever growing dancing game genre is heading for XBLA. From the makers of Dance Evolution or Dance Masters (depending on your locale), Boom Boom Dance is yet another Kinect enabled game to hit XBLA. Sharing more in common with Elite Beat Agents than Dance Central, players must hit “ripples” in time with the music and perform “tricks” such as turns and jumps to earn a high score. There is no choreography to learn so it is up to you how you get your groove on. No release date or pricing has been announced yet but producers Komani have already promised to support the game after release with regular DLC music packs. Thanks again goes to @lifelower for the tip.
