Rumor: Elite Beat-dev iNiS developing Xbox 360's 'Lips' karaoke game

While the thread on this rumor is pretty thin, we wanted to share it with you anyways, being clear about its origins. After yesterday's rumor-splosion gave us some more potentially accurate info on Lips – the Xbox 360's answer to PS3's SingStar – we received an unverified tip which appeared to originate from within Microsoft, which told us that the Microsoft Game Studios-published title was being developed by iNiS, the Japanese dev best known for its Elite Beat Agents and Ouendan Nintendo DS games.

So, to recap: Microsoft is working on a karaoke game codenamed "Lips" – that's a rumor. The developer working on the game is iNiS – also a rumor. That iNiS has a long history of making music and rhythm games and that it's co-founder Keiichi Yano confirmed that the developer was in fact working on an unnamed Xbox 360 game – those are both facts. We'll (hopefully) put the rest of the puzzle together four weeks from today when Microsoft holds their E3 press conference. If you've got any more information, we're all ears about Lips.

Looks like it's about the closest we'll get to an EBA sequel


Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

well I'm not into karaoke... but aren't the japanese a lot into that ??? could be the first of the different apps MS will put on the market to get some grip on jap for next gen....

well..... as long as it's not just singing, hopfully they will shake up the karaoke game genre. Maybe you battle little aliens on screen while singing? like, singing in a very high voice on purpose? or a very low voice?
let's hope it isn't like singstar or karoke revolution.
I hope it's different.

I said it was my favourite game of this generation so far. Its amazing.

But I hate karaoke so this game would have to be really good to get me interested.

Yeah man, nothin, havn't heard anything myself and personally, Rock Band is good enough for a singing game for me since I never sing ;)

Lips is one of the worst titles i've ever heard. Singstar is pretty great from what ive played so i guess the 360 could use a game like this, though i doubt it can match the features of ps3's excellent game
