PaRappa Creators Reveal Major Minor's Majestic March News

Hinted towards earlier in the year, Majesco Entertainment has revealed its Wii title currently in development by legendary designer PaRappa's Masaya Matsuura and acclaimed artist Rodney Alan Greenblat.

The exceptionally titled Major Minor's Majestic March promises to have gamers marching to the beat of their own drums, surprise, surprise it's a rhythm/action title, but that's unlikely to cause too many surprises.

Designed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, Major Minor's Majestic March transforms the Wii Remote into a special baton that the protagonist, Major Minor, uses to recruit new band members and pick up valuable items.

Marching across eight heavily stylised locations, players can add up to 15 different musical instruments to their repertoire, including brass, woodwinds, and percussion to alter the composition. With over 25 different marching songs to master, scoring high involves keeping to the beat and dealing with the various obstacles that threaten to throw the performance into disarray.

"There's something magical about marching bands that truly captures the imagination. The concept of leading a virtual band that's reliant on your musicianship is a perfect fit for the interactive capabilities of Wii," said John Merchant, Marketing Manager, Majesco Europe. "The combined musical and artistic superiority of Matsuura and Greenblat make them a natural choice to deliver this innovative title exclusively to the Wii audience."
