E3 &quote;08: Wii Music Details + Plus Demo Screens!

Wii Music's latest build has finally been pulled out for demonstration. After Miyamoto admitted his previous conducting had been terrible, we were walked through the various features. Rather than a timing game like Guitar Hero, Wii Music looks to be a lot looser, allowing players to improvise the music as they go, rather than the forced structure. You will still find the conducting mode demoed a few years ago, and a staggering set of 50 instruments will be playable in the game. The Wii Balance Board will be getting its time in the musical sun allowing you to use the board as foot pedals for drums. Wii Music however will not be making use of Wii MotionPlus, so it looks to be more gesture based. Cop out or awesome? Let us know in the comments!

Update:
-Make that 60+ instruments!
-Collaborate with your buddies! Wii Music will let you share out your jam for your friends to mess with and pass back to you!

Yeah I guess if he is aiming for 3-6 year olds then well done on creating a very unique toy that gets young children into instruments.

I can't even see the people who bought a wii soly for wiisports finding this entertaining "LOOK AT ME BANG DRUMS, IT MAKE TUNE LOL"

One question asked of Miyamoto was Wii Music's qualifications as a game. You know, a game game. Since Wii Music has no discernible scoring system, no goals and little in the way of those squishy innards that makes a game a "game," isn't it just a "musical toy"? That was the question posed by one European journo.

"Yes, that's right," Miyamoto curtly replied "And that's why it's better than a video game."

Honestly I think if anything is risking the games success, its the track line up. The fact is the vast majority of people love to play the songs they know, and like Nintendo tunes are great and all, but they're not a mass market thing

Other than Animal crossing this is the only game I saw that I would actually want to play.

hamzie said: How do they play diff. frets with the guitar and diff notes on paino.. can you easily control the notes?



From what I saw you move your hand up and down the neck of the "invisible" guitar imitated by where you hold you controllers. The game looks very enjoyable, but so help me if it turns out to be a failure my Wii is being sold on Ebay as I will have lost all hope in Nintendo...
