News: To be published by Majesco in 2008.

Majesco has announced that Masaya Matsuura And Rodney Alan Greenblat, the creators of PaRappa the Rapper, are working on an exclusive music-based game for the Wii. The duo will bring their unique art style and musical sensibilities to the Wii with the untitled game in late 2008.

No details have been announced yet, but Matsuura and Greenblat are very excited to be working with the Wii.

УMasaya Matsuura and Rodney Alan Greenblat are industry visionaries whose legacy was built on crafting groundbreaking, genre-defining entertainment experiences that everyone can enjoy,Ф said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. УWe 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.Ф

Adds Masaya Matsuura: УMajesco'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.Ф

УMatsuura-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,Ф said Rodney Alan Greenblat.

We'll have more soon.
