Majesco Entertainment, Masaya Matsuura And Rodney Alan Greenblat Partner To Create New Game Exclusively For The WiiTM System
The Creators of 'PaRappa the Rapper' Return with Music-Based Video Game
BRISTOL, U.K., December 10, 2007 – Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced a partnership with legendary multimedia musician and game designer, Masaya Matsuura, and famed New York artist Rodney Alan Greenblat, to develop and publish an original music-based video game scheduled for release in late 2008. Creators of the highly acclaimed, best-selling PaRappa the Rapper series, Matsuura and Greenblat will bring their engaging gameplay and distinctive art style to the Wii™ home video game system for the first time.
“Masaya Matsuura and Rodney Alan Greenblat are industry visionaries whose legacy was built on crafting groundbreaking, genre-defining entertainment experiences that everyone can enjoy,” said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. “We are incredibly excited to be working with talent of this caliber and believe our game shares the same broad mass market appeal as successful music-based products like Activision’s Guitar Hero and MTV’s Rock Band.”
Adds Masaya Matsuura: “Majesco’s publishing know-how and retail relationships allow us to stay focused on creating a game that is conceptually unique and, above all else, fun. Working with Rodney is a true creative collaboration.”
“Matsuura-san and I share similar artistic perspectives so I welcomed the opportunity to re-team with him and NanaOn-Sha to produce a one-of-a-kind music game designed from the ground up for the Wii system,” said Rodney Alan Greenblat.

Ummm which is great?
If this game is just as good as the old Parappa but requires you to walk around in between the hotness then I think that'd be okay.

OMFG HOLY SHIT I JUST CANT BELIEVE THIS
-
Ummm which is great?
Well you know I respect a mate liking what he likes - and i like some less popular games too.
While Wii NiGHtS may be great, it didnt get the mainstream coverage and adoption many hoped for.
Doesnt MEGATON imply system seller (or close to it) status?
-
Don't make any more misleading thread titles.
-
only on Wii could this be a megaton.
-
I don't know what megaton means, but I don't think anything has to be a 'system seller' for Wii. Either everything or nothing is a megaton for that platform.
-
THIS IS A SYSTEM SELLER FOR ME SINCE PARAPPA THE RAPPER AND UMJAMMER LAMMY ARE MY FAVORITE MUSIC GAMES AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A NEW GAME FROM THIS DUDE FOR YEARS
OMFG
