NanaOn-Sha, the developer that created the coolest dog ever to wear a knit hat, PaRappa the Rapper, will be bringing a new rhythm game called Major Minor's Majestic March to the Wii.

Multimedia maestro Masaya Matsuura and artist Rodney Alan Greenblat, who worked together on PaRappa, will be teaming up once again for Major Minor, which turns the Wiimote into a "special" baton used for leading a marching band.

Players will use the baton to keep tempo, recruit new band members, and snag special items in an effort to create the most impressive parade ever seen. You'll be able to add up to 15 different instruments to the procession, and will be judged on how well your marching musicians keeps the rhythm and avoids obstacles.

Oh, hell, yes. We'll be playing the hell out of this one this holiday season.

UPDATE: Check below for a whole ton of Greenblat artwork: The game's logo, plus all the character artwork that's been released thus far, with animal musicians in plenty of different poses.
