More On: Dance Dance Revolution Disney Grooves
Konami has been known to pair their DDR series with the odd license now and then, but this is pushing it--DDR Disney Grooves.  Coming exclusively to the Wii next March, the game will include famous Disney characters and 40 Disney songs.  Don't get me wrong, Goofy and Donald breakdancing sounds pretty entertaining, but I can't imagine anyone actually dancing to "A Whole New World," unless it happens to be my uncle drunk off his rear at a wedding reception.
