From Ubisoft's perspective, getting a chance to do a Michael Jackson game was the natural evolution of its existing dancing franchise. Michael's such an awesome dancer, and in some ways, I think he was the inspiration for a game like Just Dance, said Key. Now this comes along, where you're going to be able to dance just like Michael...[taking] the best moves from his dance videos [and] people will be able to do those routines, like the Moonwalk.

Video game developer Ubisoft announced Monday it would release a new dancing-and-singing game featuring Michael Jackson this holiday season. The as-yet-unnamed game will be among the first to use Kinect and Move, the respective motion-detecting camera systems for Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 due out later this year.

So you think you can sing and dance like the King of Pop? An upcoming video game will test fans_' abilities to emulate Michael Jacksoni's famous dance moves and nail his classic vocals on some of his biggest hits, Ubisoft announced yesterday prior to the 2010 E3 video game conference. The still-untitled game smdash; ito's reportedly simply called Michael Jackson: The Game mdash; is due out by the holiday season, reports Kotaku, who posted two stills. E"Beat Itn" and p"Billie Jeanl" (which will feature the lighted floor tiles made famous in its music video), are among the confirmed tracks.
