Michael Jackson Game Expected To Sell 1 Million Copies

Ubisoft has stated that Michael Jackson: The Experience will become their latest million-seller. In an interview, Ubisoft UK MD Rob Cooper said that the company was approached by the King of Pop to create a dance game based on his iconic moves long before he died.

too many jokes...must...resist

[-Ikon-]

The MJ Experience huh so touching lil boys is confirmed?

[BeaArthur]

That will be DLC.

[mantisimo]

.....touching little boys is confirmed but Aaron Greenberg is guest dancer in the Moonwalk section.

[D4RkNIKON]

Jesus Juice is confirmed. It will be similar to inFamous in that you can take the dark path or the light, your actions will have consequences and MJ's appearance will also alter.

[MegaPowa]

Didn't the kid say he didn't do it

[D4RkNIKON]

They want to market MJ to the kids. What better way than make him a video game icon.

[Brewski007]

Macaulay culkin wrote a book with the exact same name!

[Akagi]

Why did Michael Jackson place a phone call to Boyz-2-Men? He thought it was a delivery service.

But really, I think it probably will sell a million, sadly.

[Independent_Charles]

i thought exactly the same lol. the christians hated that cod mw2 level, what are they going to do when they play the kiddy in the bedroom level!

"In an interview, Ubisoft UK MD Rob Cooper said that the company was approached by the King of Pop to create a dance game based on his iconic moves long before he died."

Capitalizing on someones death. If he was alive I seriously doubt he would give them the rights to produce this game. Some people said Michael would be worth more dead than alive. Now I see what they meant.

[mantisimo]

Is the King of Sodapop.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I actually agree with you for once, Soda.

It's strange to think that those people on the other side of the avatar are human beings with thoughts and emotions.

Here's to life...and remembering those we've lost.

Soda...I bet you're a pretty nice guy in real life.

Billboard article MJ worth more dead than alive

yea this is sad. spittin on the mans grave. 1st they said they was remaking the moonwalker game now its some ddr game we all know they trying to milk his name and the sad part theyre not the only ones. no body even cared when the kids came out n said he didnt do it it was about the money. but hey at least we got mj dance revolution.

[DigitalRaptor]

Well I don't see exactly what's so bad about this. If Michael had given his consent, then why not go ahead with the game. Also the Michael Jackson Estate has given their consent for this game. i.e. Family, friends, lawyers, have given their permission, so it has their blessing. And they will get massive profits from it too, not just Ubisoft.

They are keeping the vision alive. This is not my type of game, but at least they are staying faithful to his legacy.

[Alos88]

If this sucks MJ will be moonwalking in his grave.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

There will never be another Michael Jackson.

Edit: Lol. She may look exactly like him, but she'll never define multiple generations of music, redefine a genre, or move like him.

[NecrumSlavery]

Janet Jackson?

[mantisimo]

Necrum you're drier than me have a bubble for making me laugh.

[WLPowell]

"Cause we're gonna spend 20 million advertising the hell out of it!"

It's nowhere near the level of (unintentional?)genius that Moonwalker was, so I'm not buying it.

[microsoft-soldiers]

MJ is The best why so much hate

[SuperbVillain]

LMAO @ at all the jokes,Hilarious....I hate how everyone got all sensitive after his death,The people who used to laugh at MJ jokes before get all offended.....

[webeblazing]

i dont care bout the jokes its funny. its jus fuck up how people milking his name. if its a ddr and not a moonwalker remake it confirms it

[SuperbVillain]

yeah i agree....they know anything Micheal Jackson is going to sell.on a business view it's fucking smart though.

[thematrix1298]

Bunch of retards who believe all the bad press? You all need to learn to think independent. MJ was the King and no one will ever come close to him!

Keep bytching about child this that!

[-Ikon-]

I agree you can still be that and a child molester

EDIT : I also agree that some may have taken advantage of him solely for money, but MJ isnt innocent on all accounts.

[Fel08]

I will be one of those million!!!

[J-Smith]

off the wall, what an album. still amazing to this day

[gamerzBEreal17]

i dont see how this will work inless its a XBLA title are a PSN title

[TheObserver]

MJ game would go along well with Milo.

[StrikerZ3ro112]

if Ubisoft will hop on the zombie bandwagon and release a full Thriller expansion.

[Skadoosh]

Predictable and childish jokes. It's sad to see so much ignorance in this article.

Did you guys know their is zero evidence of Michael Jackson being a pedophile?

Did you guys know the first kid that cried that he was touched came out and said he lied because his parents told him too?

Did you guys know the second case, the father talked to a well known corrupt Hollywood lawyer FIRST before he approached the police?

Did you know that father also had serious debts and malpractice suits on his dental career?

Michael Jackson is innocent and this is a clear case of greedy bastards trying to steal easy money on a easy target.

Back on topic, it would be nice to see a tribute video game. If done right, this could be a classic.

[StrikerZ3ro112]

I'm not sure if this title has the potential to be a classic. Although i think the game will be great the problem lies with the majority of gamers today. Even though they all know who he is, they don't know that through his music, they do through all of the rough publicity he suffered near the end of his life. So when this game is released most people will view it as a game about a strange looking man who was accused of child molestation and not a tribute to a talented musician.

Also i think he was innocent, people are so greedy now a'days and i think he fell victim to that fact.

[Naughty Dog]

I agree but he's still weird, which made people believe he was guilty.

[DigitalRaptor]

He wasn't weird. He was different. He had an "inner child" so to speak. Music was his life and he left a truly inspirational mark on the world with his music, vision and his kind nature.

He was too kind, which is probably why he fell victim to all the greedy bastards who wanted to take advantage of him and spread lies.

[gano]

Don't worry ubisoft i'll never support your games, ever.

[badkolo]

your all going to regret your remarks soon enough, by the way HE IS ALIVE and everyone knows it.

[Senden]

I guess it's the kings are alive now then?

[AngelicIceDiamond]

So They were gonna make a Michael Jackson Game. And "Supposedly" discussed it long before his death. Now there saying MJ came down the studio himself. So What was the hold up how come the game didn't launch 5 yrs or however long it might of took. And don't give me that excuse of. "Oh well The Motion Controllers"... no give us that. Its clear hes waaay more Valuable 6 feet under We're Not Retarded.

[Spenok]

The end is nie.
