PaRappa dev's Wii game unveiled News
Wii Retro News by Robert Purchese
Majesco has officially unveiled Major Minor's Majestic March. the first Wii title from PaRappa the Rapper developer NanaOn-Sha.
You're put in the boots of Major Minor, who has a special baton to conduct a marching band through the streets of eight whimsical locations.
That baton is controlled by waving the Wii remote. You need to keep tempo by waving your arms around so you can attract more band members and play better songs. If you are rubbish, your band will fall apart.
There are around 15 different instruments to collect like flutes and drums, and you can bang out around 30 popular tunes. Now it says popular here, but all we used to think when they crashed past our window was can we get away with dropping heavy things like plant pots on them please.
Still, PaRappa papa Masaya Matsuura and artist Rodney Greenblat are at the helm. And Major Minor offers variations on band make-up and a spot of baton twirling during intermissions to keep you interested.
Major Minor's Majestic March is due out in Europe early next year.

When I was a young 'un I used to have a toy called a Major Minor. It was a soldier (like a Beefeater type) that you could put tapes in and it would play them. Probably story tapes of some kind...
I can't seem to find the existance of this thing anywhere on the 'net, though. Maybe it was all a dream? |

Sounds like Space Channel 5 in the way that you travel from A to B with a hoard of followers, the better you do the more in your entourage. It'll probably be a charming game and seems like an obvious step to take for the Wii remote.
Edit: Hey, I had one of them as well. Ah, lovely nostalgia...

Could be good; I enjoyed Parappa, and was one of about four people who loved Parappa 2 even more. Sure, the gameplay hadn't progressed a jot, but the song arrangements were so much more elaborate and generally better; the haircutting song and burger-making song, in particular, knocked spots off anything in the first one. If the music and general ambience of this can measure up to the best of the Parappa series, it'll definitely be worth a rental at the very least...
