PaRappa devs doing Wii game

The old team together again.

Majesco has announced that it will be bringing the creators of PaRappa the Rapper together again to develop an original music-based game for Nintendo Wii.

Masaya Matsuura and his NanaOn-Sha studio will combine forces with New York artist Rodney Alan Greenblat on the game, which is scheduled for release in late 2008.

"Masaya Matsuura and Rodney Alan Greenblat are industry visionaries whose legacy was built on crafting groundbreaking, genre-defining entertainment experiences that everyone can enjoy," said Majesco CEO 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," said Matsuura. Greenblat said he "welcomed the opportunity to re-team" with Matsuura and NanaOn-Sha.

More details will be announced in early 2008.
