Majesco Entertainment, in partnership with Ultimas and Silver Bullet Studios, announced today that the world tour of Geminose: Animal Popstars will begin on May 18th with the game's digital Nintendo eShop release followed by the physical Nintendo Switch™ game launch on June 18th . A new trailer highlighting the Geminose popstar experience is available for download HERE .
Featuring ten animal musicians from around the world, Geminose: Animal Popstars lets players form a band and embark on a global journey to pop stardom. While performing 20 original songs, players will master 30 different instruments including guitar, drums, trumpet, keyboard, saxophone and more. If playing solo isn't their jam, budding musicians can challenge a friend with the game's local two-player mode that takes full advantage of the Joy-Con controllers.
Becoming an international popstar requires talent and style, and the Geminose have no shortage of either! Using hundreds of collectible items, players can dress up their band members with glam hats, glasses and face paint that make a statement on the stage. In addition, the Geminose rockstar mansion lets players customize every animal's personal room with hundreds of décor items themed to the vibrant culture of each musician. Players can arrange and interact with everything in the room, and buy new furniture, art and lifestyle pieces with coins they collect during play. The Geminose can also invite their bandmates over for a dance party to celebrate the game's rich, international rhythms that include Bhangra, Samba and many more! Even better, players can mash up those rhythms and the Geminose themselves to create 45 exciting new animal and music combinations.
Geminose: Animal Popstars features five unlockable mini-games to extend the fun when the band isn't rockin' the global stage. Confectionary connoisseurs can test their skills in Cupcake Samurai, slashing through baked goods with practiced precision.
