Majesco Entertainment Announces 'Major Minor's Majestic March'

BRISTOL, England, January 31/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

- Legendary Designer Masaya Matsuura and Artist Rodney Alan Greenblat
Bring First Marching Band Game Exclusively to the Wii(TM) System

March to the beat of your own drum as Majesco Entertainment Company
(NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market,
today announced Major Minor's Majestic March for the Wii(TM) home video game
console. Developed by NanaOn-Sha, Major Minor's Majestic March marks the
return of the creative team behind the renowned PaRappa the Rapper
franchise - legendary game designer and multimedia musician Masaya Matsuura
and famed New York artist Rodney Alan Greenblat.

"There's something magical about marching bands that truly captures the
imagination. The concept of leading a virtual band that's reliant on your
musicianship is a perfect fit for the interactive capabilities of Wii," said
John Merchant, Marketing Manager, Majesco Europe. "The combined musical and
artistic superiority of Matsuura and Greenblat make them a natural choice to
deliver this innovative title exclusively to the Wii audience."

Major Minor's Majestic March turns the Wii Remote(TM) into a "special"
baton that the bandleader, Major Minor, uses to keep tempo, recruit new band
members and pick up valuable items. While marching through eight whimsical
locations that contain various hair-raising events, Major Minor strives to
create the most impressive parade ever. Players can add up to 15 different
instruments to their dynamic procession-including brass, woodwinds, and
percussion-to alter its composition and resulting performance. Players are
scored on how well their band maintains its rhythm and manages obstacles that
could otherwise throw the procession into disarray. The band keeps tempo to
more than 25 popular marching band songs from around the world, composed into
original medleys for each stage.
