Masaya Matsuura and Rodney Alan Greenblat

The creators of the original rhythm game, Parappa The Rapper are currently working on a new music-based videogame for Wii. Masaya Matsuura, and famed New York artist Rodney Alan Greenblat have teamed up with Majesco Games, the team behind the Cooking Mama series, to publish and develop the title, but they're keeping their cards close to their chest and haven't revealed the name or any further details of the new videogame.
"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 Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. "We are incredibly excited to be working with talent of this caliber and believe our game shares the same broad mass market appeal as successful music-based products like Activision's Guitar Hero and MTV's Rock Band."

Adds Masaya Matsuura: "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."

"Matsuura-san and I share similar artistic perspectives so I welcomed the opportunity to re-team with him and NanaOn-Sha to produce a one-of-a-kind music game designed from the ground up for the Wii system," said Rodney Alan Greenblat.
