Is there a dance game for the wii....

...that lets you play your own songs?

I'm thinking about buying a Wii to play Netflix through since I think I'd get more use out of my subscription than I do now playing it over my PC, and wondered what other use I might get out of a Wii beyond playing bowling and golf. I like Dance Dance Revolution games, and have several for my PS2, but the one thing I don't like is that there's no way to import your own songs to play. How about games on the Wii?

You can't just import MP3's to any of the rhythm games, they need the music AND data for the button combinations.

The singing and dancing games my girls have for the Wii have no downloadable content so they are locked in to the time and styles of the game. These games don't get pulled out much any more (if at all) but they did enjoy the heck out of them when they were new.

You may want to consider a PS3. Singstar is a singing game and I know you can download new songs into it. I imagine Singstar Dance would be the same. You will be able to watch Netflix in a higher definition than on the Wii and the PS3 plays bluray discs as well.

Netflix plus bluray plus some pretty cool games (Little Big Planet 2 and Portal 2 in my case) were the reason I got a PS3 a few months ago.
