+Lynxer2007 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) Rumors going around that he's making a game for a few consoles. For those under the age of 30, they may not realize that there was a time when Michael Jackson was cool. And in fact, he wasn't just cool; he defined an entire generation in the '80s and to be perfectly frank, if you didn't experience Jackson at his peak, you don't know what a pop idol really is (same goes for Madonna on the female side and in the same decade). It's depressing what has happened to him since, which is why we refuse to use one of those uber-creepy new pictures. We prefer to remember him this way, when he earned the world's love with "Thriller." And lo and behold, he'll be back on tour this year and - brace yourselves - a video game should come with Jackson's revival. According to Euro website 9Lives, the King of Pop will attempt to rock London's O2 Arena, and a game will follow this effort. All we know is that it will be available for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and Wii and it should be ready for the holiday season. Now, I would like to see Michael Jackson's Moonwalker 2, but I'm relatively certain that isn't going to happen. The first game was a cult classic that actually shipped with the Sega Genesis for a brief time, but it was hardly the epitome of quality and/or technical achievement. We can be nostalgic all we want...the game really wasn't that good. But damn, it brings us all back, doesn't it? Anyway, we'll let you know whenever Jackson chooses to make this project public, and if it may follow in the footsteps of blockbuster franchises like Guitar Hero and SingStar. Yeah, he very likely needs the money but who knows? The music genre doesn't really have any bad games, does it? And there's no way in hell they'd make another action/adventure game like Moonwalker...right?

Yeah, I would say it's most likely cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 He's already had two. Apart from the obvious Moonwalker, he co-starred in Space Channel 5 II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretthorror Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 To be fair, I remember the arcade beat 'em up version of Moonwalker to be badass as a kid. The platformer home console versions of it were crap. I hope they release the arcade version to the stores of the consoles when the new game comes out.
