Wii Music: Details January 19, 2008
Sorry for the slow week of news ,but here is some Brand new Wii Music Details.
Wii Music was first shown at E3 in 2006, and was hailed as one of the most innovative games at the conference. Classic themes like The Legend of Zelda’s overworld tune were conducted and performed by an orchestra of Miis, two Wii Remotes were used to play the drums and the trumpet could be played in an exaggerated jazz fashion by changing the angle of the Remote… and then everything went quiet. There were rumours that Wii Music had been cancelled to focus on other projects.
According to a translation, we will be seeing classic Nintendo themes as well as brand new ones. Over 40 instruments will be available, including folk and bass guitars, maraccas, marimbas as well as the option to conduct your orchestra (as Miyamoto did at E3 2006). Each of these instruments will include their own unique controls (including strumming a guitar with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, and dual-Remotes acting as drumsticks), so there’s no need to worry about repetition. The gameplay revolves around play sessions, with six parts playable together (4 players and 2 CPU-controlled players).
Wii Music currently has a extremely vague release date of 2008. Stay with WiiNintendo for the latest Nintendo News.

No, it’s not sad! This game looks awesome! 40 different instruments in a crazy rhythm game, with who knows what crazy other kind of stuff. It’s going to be awesome. Koji Kondo has been working on this one supposedly so it’s going to be awesome.

So…I really like the idea, but I think it’d be cool to have more than just orchestral Nintendo theme songs. I think it would appeal to a broader audience (and sell more) to have more songs than just video game theme songs. I also think, while it’d be cool to use the remotes and drum sticks and such, I’d much rather use a GH guitar than basically play air guitar with a remote & nunchuck. That’s my 2 cents…whatever they’re really worth).

This would make a good extra for a game. But It might be a waste to have it on a game itself. Maybe wiiware can provide?

I wonder why it’s dual remotes

Once again a creative game.

Wii Music…. wow, this is just nuts, you can’t really be serious. the line of innovation and insanity has just become very blurred… This is a waste of resources for the Wii.
