Topic: It's Time for Michael Jackson's Moonwalker!

Come on Sega and Nintendo, release it on Virtual Console in Mr. Jackson's memory!

No, don't do that, its kinda inconsiderate to turn someone's death into a cause for video games, at least give it a little while before you start saying stuff like that lol

That would be kinda scary, but Nintendo could make millions off of his loyal fans.

not millions

Weird, I thought there was just a thread like this. The short answer is that it more than likely will not happen due to licensing.

And thank goodness for that.

No,I don't think so.

I forgot that I had this as a kid

I have it on my Wii (well did).

Well, there was a thread like this...
Though I know almost nothing of him, from what I have read on Wikipedia about "Moonwalker," I hope they release the Arcade version.

Arcade version would be nice; I'd buy it -- hopefully in Japan!

I just played through it today. It was nice, and has probably some of the best VG adaptations of real songs.

I guess it's also time for Sonic 3! He made most of the music in that game... he's just not credited for it.
Also, Space Channel 5... he was in that too.

Uh, what? Sonic 3 is on Virtual Console. Has been for a while now.

Yeah I know, I meant it's time to play it again. There's probably no chance of us getting Space Channel 5 on VC either.

Anyone else surprised that this hasn't been released yet?

I am.

You guys do know it was rated for a VC release months ago right? No Licensing issues on this one. Somehow it got approved for release. No telling when that'll be though. Is there some occasion I'm not aware of?

No Licensing issues on this one.

Michael Jackson is a license.

He didn't say there was no license. He said there were no issues with the license, since it has already been rated for release.

Hopefully it's the arcade version. I would get it!

EDIT: @Modern Legend It's been over a year. I think enough time has passed.

How is it inconsiderate to make money off of something that someone specifically endorsed in order to make money in the first place?

This isn't a bunch of private recordings we dug out of a box that he never intended the world to hear. This is a hyper-marketed video game that was designed and released for the sole purpose of making money.

If it comes, I hope it's the arcade version.
