The dynamic duo behind PaRappa the Rapper (PSX, PSP) and Um Jammer Lammy (PSX), artist Rodney Alan Greenblat and game designer and musician Masaya Matsuura, are working on a new music-oriented Wii title.
Slated to arrive in late 2008, the game will be developed by NanaOn-Sha, the studio responsible for music-based efforts such as PaRappa and the import-only Vib Ribbon (PSX), and published by Majesco. According to Majesco CEO Jesse Sutton, the company hopes it will share "the same broad mass market appeal as successful music-based products like Activision's Guitar Hero and MTV's Rock Band."
"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 Greenblat.
"Working with Rodney is a true creative collaboration," added 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.""Oh god, yes. I loved Parappa. Lammy was also very good, but to a lesser extent."7 Comments
