Speaking of the transition from the "old days" to modern game making,
Itagaki may be an annoying prick with more ego than sense, but absent
some camera and bug issues, Ninja Gaiden 2 was able to take the feel
and pacing of 2D games like Strider and Shinobi, and bring it into the
3rd dimension effectively.

Developed by the creative team behind PaRappa the Rapper Masaya
Matsuura and New York artist Rodney Alan Greenblat, Major Minor's
Majestic March turns the Wiimote into a "special" baton that the
bandleader, Major Minor, uses to keep tempo, recruit new band members
and pick up valuable items.
● Your Wii Remote is Major Minor's "special" bandleader baton, used to
keep tempo, recruit new band members and pick-up valuable items. If
your rhythm is unstable confusion will result; band members will drop
out and you could ultimately fail the stage.
● March in 8 different whimsical locations that contain various hair-
raising events. Use your best efforts to create the most impressive
parade ever whilst nimbly avoiding obstacles.
Add 15 different instruments to your procession, from brass to
woodwinds to percussion.
● As the makeup of the band changes, so does the performance; it all
depends on which members you select! Try different combinations each
time you play.
● Numerous modes of play.
● March and keep tempo to more than 30 well-known marching band tunes
from around the world, composed into original medleys for each unique
stage.
● Dazzle the crowd with your incredible baton-twirling displays during
brief intermissions.
