Major Minors Majestic March

Man, that title is a mouthful! Major Minor's Majestic March is a new game for the Nintendo Wii from the same guys that created Parappa The Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy for the Playstation. Parappa is significant for introducing gamers to music based games...so for all of you "Guitar Hero" fans give thanks and praise to Parappa the Rapper. It is also highly regarded for it's funky character design...which looks a lot like the "house" style of character design that has developed in the Designer Toy Industry. I'm a little sad to see that the characters are a bit more generic than characters from the Parappa universe...but it's impossible to pass judgement without seeing what the game is like. Supposedly you will use the Wiimote as a baton that will lead a musical band of instrument-wielding animals. It's still in the very early stages of development so I don't expect and game screens or gameplay videos for a few months. It's exciting to see game developer Masaya Matsuura and artist Rodney Alan Greenblat working together. Their previous collaborations have been magical. As Parappa the Rapper was known for saying, "You Gotta Believe!". Turnarounds for the revealed characters and more information on the game can be found at the WIRED BLOG.
