Music gaming seems to be heading in two distinctly different directions. Guitar Hero looks like it’s shooting to capture a blend of fantasy gaming and rock, while games like Rock Band 3 and Power Gig are taking the ultra realistic path.
Shot in Brooklyn, New York, this television commercial for Def Jam RapStar was produced by Anthony Mandler, late of Jay Z, Drake and John Mayer video fame, and includes cameos by hip-hop artists Maino and Nipsey Hu$$le.
Harvest Moon publisher Natsume has a new IP – it’s called Princess Debut, a “rhythm and adventure game for girls” coming to Nintendo DS in spring.
It sounds a little bit rhythm-action, a little bit dating sim (not the hentai kind of dating sim, of course). Players become a princess and have 30 days to master dance moves and woo one of six princes to be their partner, over the course of a branching, event-driven storyline before the dance portion begins.
There are 20 different outfits, 14 endings and 18 different musical styles like Waltz, Latin, Dance, Tango and Ballroom. Natsume knows its audience (e.g, me) — I’m generally not into “games for girls” per se, but multiple endings, tons of unlockables, romance and rhythm gameplay? Seriously, I’m so there.
Admit it, guys — this sounds kind of cool to you, too, right? Right?!
