Once
known as "Michael Jackson: The Game," Ubisoft switched things up to re-title their November 26 release "
Michael Jackson: The Experience." Things got more interesting when the game's Move and Kinect compatibility came to light, but neither the Xbox 360 nor PlayStation 3 edition will accompany their PlayStation Portable, Wii and DS counterparts to stores next month, as they've been re-categorized as Q1 2011 products.
"We're giving our teams more time to develop the Kinect and Move versions to ensure we deliver awesome experiences that take full advantage of the new technologies," an Ubisoft representative told
IGN. The Wii and portable versions of "The Experience" will still be out on time, according to the report.
The delay explains why we didn't see Ubi's Jackson project on the complete list of
Kinect launch window titles. "Dance Central" and "DanceEvolution" were both on there, though, so if your motion-controlled dance game cravings are through the roof, you will have options in a few weeks.
"MJ: The Experience" specializes in teaching you how to move like Mike, however, which distinguishes it in a competitive market right now. With dance games in style for the 360 and PS3 this season, it may be smart to spend some extra time polishing as Ubisoft says their developers are doing. Then, if there's a second wind of dance game hunger after the new year, they'll be there to snatch up everyone's post-holiday spare change.
Were you looking forward to see "MJ: The Experience" get hear before December? Which upcoming dance releases have your attention right now? Share your responses with us in the comment section below.
