Sony has announced on the Spanish PlayStation Forums that a new Singstar game is being made for Spanish pop band Mecano. Mecano debuted in 1980 during the ‘La Movida Madrileña’, a Spanish countercultural movement after Francisco Franco’s death. The group found considerable commercial success in the ’80s and early ’90s, both in its native country and in Latin America, France, and Italy with 25 million worldwide sales.

James Armstrong, Senior Vice President of Southern Europe and Managing Director for Spain and Portugal, stated that it is logical that the band gets its own game, as even ABBA and Queen have their own game. What makes this decision justified is that in Spain, Mecano is more popular.

Singstar Mecano will appear on both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2, with the release date still to be confirmed.

    I’m sorry but I don’t find this to be news, Not that there aren’t a few spanish speaking PS3 owners. But I’m guess that there’s probably alot more english speaking PS3 folk out there, thus news would be like some 80′s American or Euro band. I saw that photo and was drew a blank. Just some group with worldwide notablity.

    Even ABBA and Queen? Those groups are known by feakin everyone. Not a few country scattered here and there.

    Who Cares…………… Why don’t they cater to the US , London Studios always gives us the short end of the stick. And you know where they put it, Right up our A$$.

    I will NEVER understand why we ALWAYS get shafted!
