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.

It is a one time fee.
Wii doesn't support Java, etc so no games (at least not yet)

With digital download now available on all consoles, I really think the
old-style 2d arcade game could make a big comeback. Sure, I don't think
anyone would want to buy a 2d side-scroller of, say, Sonic for $40 but
$15-20 as a download? Sure, why not?
