Major Minor's Majestic March - Image 1 


The creators of PaRappa the Rapper including Masaya Matsuura and his NanaOn-Sha development studio teamed up with Majesco Entertainment to bring the first marching band game to the Nintendo Wii, titled Major Minor's Majestic March. Rodney Alan Greenblat who is currently based in New York will also roll up his sleeves to share his expertise.

Using the Wii Remote as a baton, players act as the band leader whose responsibilities involve recruiting new band members and picking up valuable items. Eight locations to explore and 15 different instruments to play should provide ample amount of gaming time. Among your tools are brass, woodwinds, and percussion instruments that you have to keep in rhythm while avoiding obstacles.

Majesco Europe's Marketing Manager John Merchant believes there’s something magical about marching bands that truly captures the imagination, and the interactive capabilities of Wii promise an authentic experience of leading a virtual band. He also expects great things from the combination of musical and artistic superiority formed by the tandem of Matsuura and Greenblat who are behind Major Minor's Majestic March.

With the successful Cooking Mama franchise under Majesco's banner, we're expecting smart use of motion-sensing controls on the Wii. Our eyes are peeled for any updates pertaining to this promising gem, so watch this space!
