Apparently that whole Snoop Lion thing only goes so far.
Snoop Dogg, who is getting into Puffy Diddy/P Daddy name changing territory after renaming himself Snoop Lion earlier this year, and 505 Games say they are making are a rhythm based fighting game called "Way of the Dogg." In between puff puff and passing Snoop Lion says in a statement, "“Everyone knows that Snoop is down with the biggest and best video games whether it’s droppin’ my hits on the soundtrack or showing the world I can go toe- to-toe with the best fighters on the street but "Way of the Dogg" is the first true gamification of my music. It’s the way you live, it’s the way you do what you do and captures the beat, the rhythm and the spirit of my music. It’s not just about who you are or where you’ve been but where you are headed to. This game shows how we evolve as individuals and they’ve incorporated the journey of my own personal reincarnation as Snoop Lion into my character, the environments and the path that players have to follow.”
This is not Snoop's first appearance in a video game. In addition to being a character in the canceled Midway Games project "Fear and Respect" he is a non-playable character in an arena devoted to him in last year's "Tekken Tag Tournament 2."
The game is set to release on Xbox Live, PSN and mobile platforms later this year.
