Michael Jacksons Moonwalker

[slapuallday]

I dont understand why this game has not been added to the wii vc list...it really should be added asap...it was a very good game at the time it was released and it was one of the best video games in that time that involved a celebrity...and during that time...who better then the king of pop!

[hansolo350]

It's not out because it is a licensed game.

They'd need to get Michael Jackson to sign off on it, and then give him a cut.

[lordbowser]

The only reason why I'd want it on the VC is because of the novelty factor. Otherwise, its a pretty mediocre game.

[digiki]

I'd want Shaq-Fu first

5 bucks says the recent AVGN vid inspired this topic. ;P

[Ragnor]

It was an awesome game back then
Creepy as hell now though. He can turn into a robot that can SEE HIDING CHILDREN WITH X RAY VISION?

[Kobayashi]

I´d like to see this on VC too.

[Eltigro]

I've wanted the cartridge for my Genesis for quite a while. Just haven't really pursued it.

Yeah, I watched that the other day. Funny stuff. But the game didn't look too bad. I like the dancing dogs.

I'm gonna look that one up!

I highly doubt that we'll ever see this game on VC, given the star power, but I HAVE to play this game just to experience it's ridiculousness.

[Relavant Latrommi]

Cool game, still have the original but what were they thinking!

I mean finding kids behind doors is a little creepy but it still had the decent music. Completed it personally but it's still challenging. What other game will let you slide down stairs and set off fire hydrants with dancemoves?

[Angelic Lapras King]

Back then, they could slap Jackson's name onto anything. Today, not so much...

You think that's creepy you should read about the film he pitched to Kevin Smith where he could turn into a car and his child companion could get inside the Jackocar and ride it about.

Shockingly I'm not making this up!

[shippelton]

only reasone i would want it on the VC is for the Lol factor

[Sharecrow]

I'd download it for sure. Not joking

Same here.

[LinkFanatic]

I was one of the unfortunate few that owned this game on the Genesis. I thought it was ridiculous and all the trouble Michael has gotten into with kids, makes the gameplay more disturbing. Dance moves were kind of funny though. What better way to kill all enemies on screen than to dance them to death...lol

[Angelic Lapras King]

Apparently, Jackson co-developed it, which would explain a lot! o.o

Also, there were versions for the SMS, GG, C64 and other consoles...

[reddevilggg]

Please, no, no, no, please, no.......oh no, please, (sobs)

[RadioShadow]

The only good thing about the game was the instrumental Michael Jackson music which on the Mega Drive, is decent.

The gameplay was not bad (their are worse video games out there than this) with decent controls and graphics. Just it gets boring "finding" and "rescuing" the children. Plus some parts like using 'magic' to bring down a ladder makes no sense. >_<

I doubt this will ever get released on the VC since due to what Michael did (which was months after the game was created), looks slightly creepy when playing the game nowadays.

I thought he was legally acquitted?

IE, likely just paid off the families so they would drop the law suit.

But he was actually tried this time, i.e. they didn't settle like last time.

[Kobayashi]

Please, release Moonwalker to VC.

You know damn well his reputation was destroyed, whether he did it or not, doesn't matter...his game won't sell for beans with a rep like that...however, in his memory, now would be a good time to capitalize on that and might make a few sales...possible...stranger things have happened

[Ausden]

Yes, nothing like running around trying to release little children hidden behind doors. Ooohh how the signs were there from he get-go.

[Angelic Lapras King]

Coming soon, Hell will freeze over. o.o

Hope it's the arcade version. I'd still get the genesis one though.

[Diebythesword]

I'll dl it then Beat It the first day

I wouldnt put it past Sega to put the Master System version up, since they have pledged us with ports of games already on the VC. :/

Unlikely, but there's always that chance...

[Rhymetyme91]

This is the biggest "thriller" I've read on here in awhile. After seeing This is it! four times in theaters I can say I will download this this lil "PYT" the first day it comes out and get on with my "Bad" self. Excuse the horrible puns in all of my excitement. Is this what we have to do to get some licensed games? Now we just need to wait for Walt Disney to die...oh wait...

[Betagam7]

Its a shame that given Sega's record with PAL VC conversions the game will likely have inferior slowed down music for PAL.

[Rhymetyme91]

Which is one of the many reasons we (eventually) need the arcade version. I wouldn't mind Nintendo milking some posthumous MJ bucks, as long as we eventually get Moonwalker with the enhanced graphics and sound...and in your case a version that plays correctly :X

Releasing Moonwalker is a beautiful thing...at least it could be. It might be the start of seeing licensed characters on our precious VC. If only Disney would make a deal with Nintendo...we could get just about every Disney and Marvel game out there. I dream of getting Moonwalker in time for Thanksgiving and some Disney games for Christmas. I can dream, can't I?

[RetroNL]

I never played this game to be honest, is it like Blues Bros. or something ?

[War-Lord]

Yea I never played either and would really like to try it out sometime. I am hoping for that VC release ha.

[Pit 42]

I saw this bit of news today: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/163..._michael.jhtml

Being that the deal is with Sony, Nintendo's direct competitor, could this mean that we won't see Moonwalker on VC?

[Diebythesword]

I expect an HD remake

[slavko123496]

My childhood game, I want it on VC badly even tho I have it on emulators

You have it on emulators?
And you are living in Farmington Hills, is that correct?
And your name is Slavko, right?
