UBISOFT® INVITES THE WORLD TO "JUST DANCE”
New Dance Video Game Launching Holiday 2009

SAN FRANCISCO – August 18, 2009 – Today Ubisoft® announced it will
launch Just Dance(TM) this holiday season, a new dance video game for
the Nintendo® Wii(TM). Developed by Ubisoft Paris, Just Dance will
challenge all those who like to groove, entertaining spectators along
the way.

Requiring only one Wii(TM) Remote per player, up to four people can
break it down at a time, as they follow on-screen choreographed moves
set to classic dance tracks, covering a wide variety of musical genres
and bringing everyone to the dance floor. Whether it's a group of 15
year-old girls who just want to have fun, a high school reunion dance
from the class of '92 needing to pump up the jam, or Generation X who
truly believe the groove is in the heart, Just Dance is the ultimate
dance game for everyone.

"Just Dance is a fun game for all ages where players will learn real
dance moves set to classic and modern songs across all genres they
know and love,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer of
Ubisoft. "The concept is simple and whether players are looking for
fun, exercise or a good time with friends and family, we feel everyone
will enjoy Just Dance.”

The game features more than 30 licensed tracks, ranging from iconic
dance hits such as "U Can't Touch This” by MC Hammer to modern day pop
with "Hot N Cold (Rock Version)” by Katy Perry. With more songs to be
revealed soon, this game will easily be one of the most diverse video
game soundtracks ever assembled.

Visitors to GamesCom in Cologne from August 19th through 23rd are
invited to Just Dance at the Ubisoft booth (Stand A41, A51 Halle 7).
The game will be previewed for the press and public with a selection
of tracks such as:
- The Trashmen: Surfin' Bird
- Fame (In the style of Irene Cara)
- Cyndi Lauper: Girls Just Want to Have Fun
- Technotronic: Pump Up the Jam
