Majesco is working on a new rhythm game for the Wii...

The rumour we reported back in May seems to be true: Masaya Matsuura and Rodney Alan Greenblat together with NanaOn-Sha, which are known for the legendary rhythm-game PaRappa The Rapper are developing a completely new music based game for the Wii . Here are some statements from those involved with the project.

"Masaya Matsuura and Rodney Alan Greenblat are industry visionaries whose legacy was built on crafting ground-breaking, genre-defining entertainment experiences that everyone can enjoy. We are incredibly excited to be working with talent of this calibre 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." Jesse Sutton

"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." Masaya Matsuura

"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." Rodney Alan Greenblat

With such a fantastic team that basically created the rythm-game genre, we can expect great things. Stay tuned for more.
