And with “real soon,” we mean August 15, 2007. An official press release just made available recently had Disney Interactive Studios announcing two separate titles – with one coming to the Nintendo Wii and Sony PS2, and another to the Nintendo DS handheld – probably as a pre-cursor to the launching of “High School Musical 2” coming later this year.

They have been confirmed to come with their own microphones in special packages priced at US$ 59.99 for a Wii Special Edition (coupled with a “High School Musical” branded microphone from Logitech) and US$ 49.99 for a PS2 bundle with mic or a plain US$ 39.99 without one.

ESRB rated “E” for Everyone, Sing It! will also feature a party mode where singing aspirants face-off against each other karaoke-style, while a story mode will nudge players through the plot of the movie and sing arrangements made popular by the Disney Original film.

High School Musical: Makin’ the Cut is targeted for the DS and will revolve around a musical rhythm game that allows players to select characters from the movie or create their own. Also bundled with songs exclusive to “High School Musical 2” to total a whopping 12 songs, players can get to create their own music videos and share them with friends.
