Masaya Matsuura (creator of
PaRappa the Rapper and
Major Minor's Majestic March) says he and his posse over at NanaOn-Sha are interested in making a music game for Microsoft's
Project Natal. "We are thinking about ideas," said Matsuura to
Videogamer.com at the UK Develop Conference. " I think any kind of interaction with a camera will be good for music games, but the important thing will be how we can find the new breed of gameplay."
Matsuura thinks he can create something fresh -- something other than the rock genre, which he points out
Guitar Hero and
Rock Band cover quite well. Instead, he thinks there's room to grow for other sounds: "There is other attractive music, so please try to find another style, another interaction, another gameplay with another type of music."
Activision is breaking out with
DJ Hero. So, what could Matsuura work on? Wait a minute...
breaking. How about a pure break dance title?
Baraver the Breakdancing Beaver? No?
