New Michael Jackson game in the works

MJJ Productions has been working on title 'for months'; Star recorded speech for release

A video game starring Michael Jackson's likeness and speech recorded before the musician died is set for a posthumous release.

Rumours of a new Jackson game have lingered ever since the star's death. But these now appear to have been confirmed.

The star's own production company, MJJ Productions, has been working on the game for 'several months', according to reports.

A Christmas 09 'home console release' – suggesting Xbox 360 and PS3 - is apparently scheduled.

It is understood that the game will feature a number of the star’s most iconic hits.

A MJJ Productions rep said:“I am sure it will still be released. Michael loved games”.

I don't think 360

Since SONY owns MJ's music, I don't think the game will appear on the 360.

I remember seeing a rumor that it was coming to PS2,PS3 and the Wii

The question is what type of game will it be? There is no point in making a game for the sake of it, even though it does happen.

So Sony own MJ's music? so what makes you think it would go to the Wii and not 360?

Slight contradiction don't you think? lol

they should re-release moonwalker, I loved that game and in next gen would be great, Sega being the ones who made it should really jump on it and put it on the Arcade side, I dont mind if its 360 or PS3 as I got both but I would prefer 360 for my achievements lol

Motown owns everything in the catalog that involves his recordings with the J5 and his youth solo while Sony owns pretty much everything else and moving forward...
