When the shipment of Ubisoft’s Vita launch day games arrived, Michael Jackson: The Experience was set aside, along with Asphalt: Injection and Dungeon Hunter Alliance, three unfortunate side-effects of getting my hands on Rayman and Lumines.
Two years ago, Michael Jackson unexpectedly passed away. According to NME, Jackson’s once debt-ridden estate is now making hundreds of millions ($US300 million plus!) thanks to posthumous output like This Is It! and the game Michael Jackson: The Experience. [NME]
Experience the excitement. Experience the magic. For the umpteenth time. But in glasses-free 3D. After being released on the PSP, the PS3 (Move), the Xbox 360 (Kinect), the Wii and the Nintendo DS, Michael Jackson: The Experience is moonwalking its way onto the Nintendo 3DS this spring.
Michael Jackson’s white glove, which he first wore when performing the moonwalk for the first time, became a trademark symbol of one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived. And it’s now free for purchasers of a Wii game!

Video games have now given the society at least two things: 1) children with better hand-eye coordination and 2) the opportunity for people dressed as Chewbacca to dance to Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson has always been big in Japan, and Ubisoft’s Michael Jackson The Experience is no exception, hitting TGS hard with three newly revealed tracks and a new trailer, complete with creepy MJ stand-in.
Ubisoft’s Michael Jackson The Experience will be playable at this month’s GamesCom in Germany, alongside Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, R.U.S.E. and a slew of other upcoming titles.
