Ubisoft Montpellier, in collaboration with Ubisoft Paris has put all of its expertise into crafting Michael Jackson The Experience for the Wii system from Nintendo to match the expectations of Michael Jackson fans across the globe. With multiplayer mode on Wii, fans are never alone as up to three more players can get in on the performance and perform Michael Jackson’s greatest moves together.
Michael Jackson The Experience for Wii will make learning to dance like the ultimate pop icon fun and accessible for everyone. In Michael’s School Mode, players will be able to rehearse before their show, with video training to practice Michael’s most challenging moves in order to pull them off to perfection.
The game will be available for Wii, Nintendo DS system and the PSP system on November 23 in North America. Ubisoft is accepting pre-orders for the PlayStation Move and Kinect for Xbox 360 versions of the game, which will be available in early 2011.
Jackson was a big gamer and even collaborated with Sega on Michael Jackson's Moonwalker for the Sega Genesis. Now gamers will be able to play this new Ubisoft game as well as a new massively multiplayer online game next year called Planet Michael.
