Neko Entertainment has announced today that it’s musical platform adventure game Maestro! Green Groove is now available throughout Europe from the Nintendo Shop Channel on Nintendo DSiWare. Blending two exquisite flavours, Maestro! Green Groove is a unique concept combining the standards of platform gaming with the pleasure of musical creation in a unique and astonishing way.
148apps - I typically try not to be a stickler for graphics, but Maestro Green Groove looks unnecessarily bad. It’s a shame too, as the game is quite original and is extremely challenging. Fans of rhythm games will get a kick out of this one, provided they can get past the graphics.
Gay Gamer writes: "What would happen if a platformer had a baby with a music game? You might end up with something like Neko Entertainment's Maestro! Green Groove, now available via DSiWare for the Nintendo DS system. Basically, you guide a cute pink bird named Presto through the levels from left to right by strumming on the strings he runs along and tapping on the enemies that leap at him. Of course, you're also going to be doing this in time with Beethoven's 5th Symphony, Chopin's Nocturne No2 and Dvorak's New World Symphony. And as with all rhythm action games, doing it in perfect time with the music will make sure you get the highest score possible."
"As someone who loves music/rhythm games, I especially love it when developers think of new, innovative ways to approach this genre. And this is exactly what Neko Entertainment has done with Maestro! Green Groove. Originally part of a retail release in Europe, this is the first time gamers in North America have been able to experience this game (without importing, of course). And although it's just a small portion of the full-fledged DS game, it's still a really good DSiWare title that just about anyone would do well to try." -- Wiiloveit.com
