Pre-E3 09: Here's what Majesco is bringing to E3 photo

Continuing the trend of the week, Majesco has revealed their E3 line-up. They're only showing six titles next week and one of those games is sure to be a giant hit with retro fans. 
  • a boy and his blob (Wii)
  • Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2010 (Wii)
  • Flip's Twisted World (Wii)
  • Go Play City Sports (Wii)
  • Our House: Party! (Wii)
  • My Hero Firefighter (DS)

I cannot wait to check out a boy and his blob. The game is absolutely gorgeous and looks like so much fun. The only problem here is that I'm going to have to punch out Chad in order to get to play this next week. Shouldn't be too hard as we all know that sharks are better than dolphins.

I also kind of want to check out Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum. There's just something about Jillian that's really hot even with that manly face thing she's got going on. Eh.

Hit the break to for more info on all the games listed above. What are you looking forward to? 

MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES E3 2009 VIDEO GAME LINE UP
Unique Concepts, Proven Franchises and New Brands Highlight Company Presence

EDISON, N.J., May 28, 2009 - Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced the company's slate of titles that will be shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, CA from June 2-4. Offering fun for the entire family, the lineup features a range of highly-anticipated Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ titles, including the return of a boy and his blob, the first look at the just announced Flip's Twisted World, the sequel to the best-selling Jillian Michaels' fitness game, and the company's My Hero brand of aspirational titles.  

"Majesco has a lot of exciting games in development and the titles we're showing at E3 just scratch the surface of what's to come in holiday 2009 and beyond," said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. "From best-selling sequels to classic NES nostalgia and new brands like Go Play and My Hero, our E3 showcase reveals our commitment to providing high quality entertainment for the entire family."

About a boy and his blob (Wii):
Marking the 20th anniversary of this NES classic, a boy and his blob is a rebirth of this fan favorite title that expands upon the original platform adventure. This Wii exclusive is a heartwarming story of friendship that challenges players to work together with their new blob friend to solve puzzles, defeat monsters and escape danger on Earth and Blobolonia. By feeding the blob jelly beans, players can activate his special abilities to transform him into helpful tools - including a ladder, trampoline, parachute, cannon, shield and many more.  Every different blob form aids the boy as he navigates 40 side-scrolling levels filled with hidden treasures and unlockable bonus content.


About Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2010 (Wii):
The Biggest Loser fitness expert follows up her best-selling debut in Jillian Michaels' Fitness Ultimatum 2010. Players enter a Hell Week-style boot camp packed with new features and energetic workout modes that fully utilize the motion capabilities of the Wii Remote™ and the Wii Balance Board™ accessory. Under Jillian Michaels' expert guidance, players engage in one-on-one workouts featuring all-new core exercises in Cardio Training, Strength Training, and Balance Training superset routines.

About Flip's Twisted World (Wii):
A unique gameplay mechanic is at the center of Flip's Twisted World for Wii™. This puzzle platform game puts the world literally in the palm of your hand as you navigate topsy-turvy landscapes where up and down, and left and right are only a matter of perspective. Players will help the curious magician's apprentice Flip rotate the environment 90 degrees at will to solve puzzles and ultimately help Flip escape his cube prison. 

About Go Play City Sports (Wii):
As part of Majesco's new motion-based Go Play family brand, Go Play City Sports lets players experience six classic street games in their living room. The all-new sports compilation includes stickball, kickball, handball, rooftop hockey, shootout soccer and jump rope. Players use the intuitive movements of the Wii Remote™ and Wii Balance Board™ to dodge obstacles like manhole covers, fire hydrants and parked cars as they compete with up to 4 players to earn trophies and unlock new courts and equipment.  

About Our House: Party! (Wii):
Our House: Party! is the only game that lets players build and remodel their homes into their own unique customized creations. Players use their Wii Remote to hammer, saw, paint, tile and much more as they assemble and decorate their family dwelling in this unique four-player party game. Compete with friends in "build-off" mode or share creations with others via  WiiConnect24. If you dream it, you can build it!

About My Hero Firefighter (Nintendo DS):
The Nintendo DS™ stylus becomes a hose, ax and extendable ladder in My Hero: Firefighter, another game within Majesco's new My Hero line of aspirational products.  Players must drive fire engines swiftly and safely through crowded city streets and react quickly to house fires, chemical explosions, and forest fires in 13 hazardous missions. As they move up the ranks to Captain, players can acquire upgraded trucks and equipment and learn real fire safety tips along the way!

Dead on. Couldn't agree more . . . although it's funny that I switch things around and find the exact same thing unacceptable about Fergie.
