It was licensed by Triumph International, developed by and published by Ubisoft, and was released on November 23, 2010 in North America, November 25, 2010 in Australia and November 26, 2010 in Europe for the Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable and Wii.

The game features many of Michael Jackson's hits, such as "Bad", "Thriller", "Beat It", "Billie Jean", "Smooth Criminal", "Black or White", "The Way You Make Me Feel", etc. Initial launches of the game included a limited edition replica of Jackson's famous sequined glove. It was later released for the Nintendo 3DS, iOS and PlayStation Vita. It was announced that the game would be released on Mac OS X, Wii U and iPad 2. The game sold 2 million units in only two months (these sales figures don't include Japan, which has one of the largest and most passionate concentrations of Michael Jackson fans.)
This game is also known for being one of the very few video games to be available on all seventh- and eighth-generation handhelds.
