[Ubisoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haptic-shirt) has made an announcement in regards to the release of the Michael Jackson video game this coming winter. Being released on the new Xbox Kinect, [PS3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rpcs3-overlay) and the [Nintendo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-king-of-games) Wii, this game will definitely be a huge hit to the late pop king's fans.

The goal in this venture is to dance like Michael Jackson and follow the moves that are demonstrated on screen. Your accuracy is judged and your score is determined accordingly. Interesting and fun, this Michael Jackson video game is another interactive way to remember the late singer.
