Konami Goes Def

Those Bemani dudes are distributing 4mm's rap karaoke game.

 Compton and Long Beach together? Now you KNOW you're in trouble.
 Compton and Long Beach together? Now you KNOW you're in trouble.
Konami and 4mm Games issued a joint release this morning announcing a distribution deal for Def Jam Rapstar. Konami will help get the game on shelves for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii this fall. Autumn Games will also receive some sort of co-publishing credit.

Rapstar will contain over 40 songs at launch, including specific tracks for the UK and European versions of the game. Here's a new list of confirmed tracks for the game.

  • 2 Pac - I Get Around
  • 50 Cent - I Get Money
  • Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Dogg - Nuthin’ But a “G” Thang
  • Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx - Gold Digger
  • Lil’ Wayne - A Milli
  • Notorius B.I.G. - Juicy
  • Slick Rick - Children’s Story
  • T.I. featuring Rihanna - Live Your Life
  • Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M.
  • Young Jeezy featuring Kanye West - Put On

No word on if the game will support nine mics or ship with enough little white neck towels to properly convey the full Wu-Tang performance experience. When I played the game back at E3, it had "They Reminisce Over You" by Pete Rock & CL Smooth in it, as well, so this list is significantly shorter than the one we currently have on our game page. I'm playing an updated version of this tonight at a Konami event, so I'll try to figure out if that's still in there.
