Neko Entertainment, looking to be the worlds first musical platform game just announced the release of Maestro! Green Groove which is available throughout Europe from the Nintendo Shop Channel on Nintendo DSiWare™.

Maestro! Green Groove has an interesting concept, the idea is being  is to combine the “standards of platform gaming “with the “pleasure of musical creation” in a way never done before. It certainly sounds like an intriguing concept.

“We are pleased to announce the launch of Maestro! Green Groove for Nintendo DSiWare™ owners throughout Europe”, said Laurent Lichnewsky, Managing Director of Neko Entertainment, “Its perfect mix of platform adventure gaming and musical creation featuring some of the world’s best known compositions will appeal to players both you and old”.

Set in the deep, dark tropical forests of the Green Groove World, the player will take control of the colourful and music loving Presto. Use of the stylus allows the player to strum, run and tap to the rhythm of a Bollywood musical orchestra whose reinterpretation of classics such as Beethoven’s 5th Symphony, accuracy is key here.

Maestro! Green Groove promises fun challenges including special strings, goofy enemies, crazy targets and epic musical battles against Presto’s rival. This is also one of the only games that utilizes the DSi microphone allowing players to “let their vocal cords loose “with the melodies featured in the game. Whether or not people will be comfortable doing this outside of their house is another issue. After all, the point of hand-helds is to be able to play games on the go.
