Did we just say “touch”? Sorry, we forgot the microphone control.
Yes, a karaoke-mad robot named Mike is on hand to liven up this party with special microphone-controlled games. For the first time in gaming history, you can blow sweet things in that special someone’s ear or cool off with a hot cup of coffee. How cool is that! What are you waiting for?
