Summer lovin’! “Grease” heading to the Wii

Danny, Sandy, The Pink Ladies and the T-Birds are headed to Nintendo-land.

505 Games today announced it has secured publishing rights for a video game based on the iconic musical “Grease”. Working with Paramount Digital Entertainment, the company will create versions of the game for both the Wii and Nintendo DS.

Details are scant right now, though the publishers says the game will take advantage of the Wii’s motion-sensing controller and microphone, meaning you may get the chance to sing along with some of the play/movie’s better known songs.

Movie-based games based on older properties are hot these days. The just-released “Ghostbusters” from Sony and developer Terminal Reality was cheered by critics, gamers and non-gamers alike and is expected to be one of June’s top selling titles.

Paramount last year announced plans to work with Legacy Interactive on a game based on the films “Clueless,""Mean Girls" and "Pretty in Pink." The studio previously worked with Electronic Arts on two games based on “The Godfather” franchise, which have boasted solid, though not remarkable sales numbers.
