Wii Music: Toy, Instrument, or Musical Tool?

“We have this firm belief that the more you chew, the more flavor you get.” Nintendo Representative JC Rodrigo told me at Nintendo’s Fall Media event in early October, “There’s a lot of different levels and depth to a game. Take Wii Music for example, Kids can pick it up and get the instant gratification of ”˜Oh, I get it, It’s a piano,’ but for guys that are really ...

New Game Get – Nintendo releases for the week ending October 25th

This week’s new release list is a little overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time. Out of nearly fifty games coming out this week, there might be three worth anyone’s interest.  Possible winners on the DS list are Away: Shuffle Dungeon and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia.  The only choice pick for Wii is Wii Music which ships on the 20th. I will note that there is a game coming...

Poll – Wii Music

Nintendo’s new music software comes out next week, so let us know: {democracy:64}

Though you would think that Nintendo is smarter than that, and would make a game that is to be enjoyed by everyone. So of course it was expected that th...

Guitar Hero World Tour Wii screens

Activision last week released 12 new screenshots for the Wii version of Guitar Hero World Tour, including the Wii Music knock-off mode that’s sure to obviate the purchase of Miyamoto’s latest (perhaps only) failed idea. Why buy Wii Music when you can play the full version of World Tour, plus a Wii Music bonus emulator with licensed tracks (aka not Yankee Doodle midi quality)? The mind,...

Reggie: We made Wii Music look too simple

Like Othello, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime wants you to know that Wii Music is simple to learn, but will take a lifetime to master. “What’s powerful in Wii Music is this juxtaposition of something that looks so simple but is wonderfully difficult to master,” Reggie Fils-Aime told VentureBeat. “We may have done that title an injustice at E3 by showing somet...
