Below is additional information on Majesco's E3 2008 lineup:
Major Minor's Majestic March
Release date: Holiday 2008
Platform: Wii
Designed exclusively for Wii, Major Minor's Majestic March marks the
return of the creative team behind the renowned PaRappa the Rapper
franchise -- legendary game designer and multimedia musician Masaya
Matsuura and famed New York artist Rodney Alan Greenblat. This innovative
rhythm-based music game turns the Wii Remote(TM) into a "magic" baton that
bandleader Major Minor uses to keep tempo, recruit new band members and
pick up valuable items. Players can add up to 15 different instruments to
their dynamic procession -- including brass, woodwinds, and percussion --
to alter its composition and resulting performance.
Cooking Mama World Kitchen
Release Date: Holiday 2008
Platform: Wii
The best-selling, award-winning cooking franchise returns! In Cooking
Mama World Kitchen, Mama brings a lot more to the table, including all new
3D graphics, all new recipes from parfait to shrimp au gratin, comedic
kitchen mini-games, new gameplay modes and much more. Cook with Mama and
her friends by using the Wii Remote as your universal cooking utensil in
this fun, family-friendly sequel to last year's Cooking Mama Cook Off.
Our House
Release Date: Q1 2009
Platform: Wii
Our House is the only game that lets players build and remodel their
homes into their own unique customized creations. Players use their Wii
Remote to hammer, saw, paint, tile and much more as they assemble and
decorate their family dwelling. Compete with friends in the four-player
"build-off" mode or share creations with others via a WiiConnect24
community-building feature. If you dream it, you can build it!
Zoo Hospital
Release Date: September 2008
Platform: Wii
Zoo Hospital is the first game of its kind on Wii that lets players
experience a veterinarian's job. Players use the Wii Remote(TM) in surgical
procedures to eliminate parasitic pests, perform dentistry, and remove
foreign bodies like gallstones to restore the health of 48 ailing zoo
mammals, reptiles and birds. Soothing and feeding each animal while
following up on post surgical patients in their enclosures is as important
as precise operations, since happy, healthy animals increase the Zoo Rating
which in turn affects the number of visitors patronizing the zoo.
AWAY Shuffle Dungeon
Release Date: Fall 2008
Platform: Nintendo DS
Featuring creative contributions from RPG creator Hironobu Sakaguchi,
character designer Naoto Oshima and composer Nobuo Uematsu, AWAY Shuffle
Dungeon for Nintendo DS(TM) is a groundbreaking role playing saga
co-developed by Mistwalker and AQ Interactive. Players take control of the
young hero "Sword," the sole resident left of the once booming Webb
Village, who must rescue as many kidnapped townsfolk as possible from a
mysterious unknown that has trapped them within underground dungeons. Saved
villagers will lend assistance to Sword's quest, as will the magical
'Fupongs' and dungeon treasure he finds that lets him shop in the village
specialty stores for armor, weapons, health, medical aid and more.
Wonder World Amusement Park
Release Date: Holiday 2008
Platform: Nintendo DS
In Wonder World Amusement Park, players experience the thrill of a day
at the park anytime and anywhere! Using the Touch Screen, players will
toss, drive, shoot, whack, fish and spin in 30 different mini-games
scattered throughout six themed zones: Carnival, Spookyville, Prehistoric,
Pirate, Fairy Tale and Space. Players can also unlock six interactive rides
through gameplay or challenge a friend via local Wi-Fi multiplayer.
Babysitting Mania
Release Date: September 2008
Platform: DS
Based on the hit online simulation, Babysitting Mania lets players
progress through more than 100 levels of fast-paced, overlapping challenges
as they feed, entertain and clean up after unruly kids in 20 chaotic
houses. Players use the Touch Screen to manage every aspect of the
household with speed and precision, from strategically employing "timeouts"
to overseeing bonus birthday party levels that add neighborhood party
guests to the mania.
Marker Man Adventures
Release Date: November 2008
Platform: DS
Guide loveable stick figure, Marker Man, through hundreds of
physics-based puzzles using the stylus as a creative tool to draw simple
