At least it doesn't have the "Wii" moniker in use...

Fun fact: There are currently two cheerleading games in development for the Wii. Both by different developers/publishers.

Cheerleading is a big sport in the US (and yeah, it's considered a sport, you can get scholarships for it, etc) and I'm not really surprised there are multiple games under development.
I *am* surprised at the overtly girly aspect of this one though - cheerleading is much more than girls waving pom poms, and there are a number of guys in the sport too.
Oh, and I just showed this to my 7yo daughter who competes in a number of gymnastics styles and she was very keen to play it, so I guess you can't say that they're not hitting their intended audience.
