Even though the mic was not connected (and was for display only), Vinnk gave it a go so we could all enjoy his vocal genius. He sung Video Killed the Radiostar… (no really, he's very good!).
The game plays exactly like any karaoke machine except that to get the songs you want you have to download them. It costs 300 yen (that's $3 or £1.50 roughly) to download as many songs as you want but you only get to keep them for 24 hours (think of it as a rental). However, the company says that you can get any song you could ever want to sing. So effectively it's like going out to sing karaoke in a little Japanese karaoke booth, except you don't have to leave your sofa."
Called Voice to Victory, it now has a special Miiverse community, and tasks you with singing your heart out and posting your In-Depth Rating Overall Score screenshot to that community up until 5th May. You can enter as many times as you like to go for a top score, with the following prizes on offer.

"The problem with karaoke video games is you're limited to a selection of songs on a disc. Joysound Wii tackles this issue by offering users all you can sing tickets. Pay 300 Wii Points and you get access to a library of 30,000 karaoke songs for 24 hours. That's not a bad price for an impulse purchase.
Hudson also has long term payment plans like 72 hours for 500 Wii Points, 30 days for 1,000 Wii Points, and 90 days for 2,000 Wii Points. For less than the cost of going to a karaoke bar on a weekend you can get one month of Joysound."
