If you’re the sort of person, like this writer, for whom karaoke is an exercise in extreme humiliation when in a public environment, but a quietly transcendent activity in more private confines, then the rise of karaoke videogaming – not to mention plush Japanese-style booths like those found in Lucky Voice – will have come as a godsend.

Nordic Games has revealed that their series of Wii karaoke titles have surpassed a million units worldwide. The series consists of We Sing, We Sing Encore, We Sing Robbie Williams, We Sing UK Hits and We Sing Rock! in the UK and two more regional specific versions: We Sing Down Under and We Sing Deutsche Hits.
