Major Minor's Majestic March is an upcoming video game that will be an exclusive for the Nintendo Wii. It was created by Parappa the Rapper designer Masaya Matsuura and famous artist Rodney Alan Greenblat.
Major Minor’s Majestic March uses the Wii Remote as a mace (a form of baton used exclusively by Drum Majors) that the Drum Major, Major Minor, uses to keep tempo, recruit new band members and pick up valuable items. While marching through eight whimsical locations that contain various hair-raising events, Major Minor strives to create the most impressive parade ever. Players can add up to 15 different instruments to their dynamic procession—including brass, woodwinds, and percussion—to alter its composition and resulting performance. Players are then scored on how well their band maintains its rhythm and manages obstacles that could otherwise throw the procession into disarray. The band keeps tempo to more than 25 popular marching band songs from around the world, composed into original medleys for each stage.
John Merchant, marketing manager of Majesco Europe has been quoted saying about this game, “There’s something magical about marching bands that truly captures the imagination. The concept of leading a virtual band that’s reliant on your musicianship is a perfect fit for the interactive capabilities of Wii. The combined musical and artistic superiority of Matsuura and Greenblat make them a natural choice to deliver this innovative title exclusively to the Wii audience.”[1]
