RUMOR - Michael Jackson involved in new video game
June 21, 2009 by RawmeatCowboy Filed Under: Wii, Rumors

When was the last time we saw Michael Jackson in a game? I'm not talking about the spoof character in Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution...I'm talking about the actual licensed version of the King of Pop. I guess it would be Space Channel 5, right? Well, rumor has it that the crotch-tugger is on his way back to gaming.

Jackson is in the middle of planning a comeback, and that means he's going to try and come at people from every direction. Why not throw a video game in there?! Of course, there are no concrete details on this game. The only thing we hear is that it'll be hitting the Wii, PS2 and PS3.

Ah well. Time for the jokes... I'd hope it's another Sonic game but I don't want a new Sonic game (anymore).

His comeback is his final show. More of an ultimate finale.

I'm a huge MJ fan. I'd LOVE to see another MJ game (Moonwalker's a hilarious classic. :P ).

Space Channel 5 seems a reasonable guess...

I can so easily see Activision or MTV making a PopHero with Mr Michael Jackson as the 1st main DLC pack available for it.

Meh. Don't really care.

I could see it being like Britney's Dance Beat, but with him and his songs in place of Britney and her songs.

Maybe a different music/rhythm game? I think they could fit his music portfolio into a RB or GH game. Or maybe a DJ Hero expansion game?

Michael Jackson: Moonwalker 2? Maybe it'll actually make sense this time.

In all seriousness, that sounds cool.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for the SEGA Genesis is the only game I ever played starring him. :)

f*** yeah. I just hope it's not some stupid, basic rhythm game or anything. A proper game would be best.

Technically, the last game with MJ in it was Guitar Hero 4. Though, it was just his voice.

Ready 2 Rumble wasn't a spoof. MJ actually did motion capture his moves, and allow his likeness. It's just not his voice.

Captain EO the game. Come on. It would be perfect.

Or play through a collection of scenarios of his old music videos.

I'm feeling a God of War-style Moonwalker. I'd play that.

I'm guessing some kind of music/rhythm game, but hey I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Michael Jackson's songs would do well in a Singstar or DDR game... Although I would love to see the hilarity of a Moonwalker game again :D

When Michael heard about the Wii, he instantly wanted to make a game on it for little kids a.k.a. little boys. Haha
