Miyamoto has lost it.

I agree with Miyamoto. Most kindergarteners can't yet grasp how to play real instruments, and elementary-school music classes these days basically amount to, "play the notes that I say or get an F." Wii Music could really serve to instill some creativity in young children that eventually leads to playing a real instrument.

If you think Miyamoto has lost it, then just repeat to yourself: "I am not the target market for this game." Because you're not. And if you're one of those whiny Internet nerds who's offended by its mere existence, then just accept that fact and shut up.

You must be that breed of whiny internet nerd that thinks that he's somehow above the others. Cool.

And Nintendo has always been about making their games as accessible as possible for as many people as possible. While it is an RPG, I've seen many children pick up and enjoy Paper Mario. So far, we haven't seen anything that indicates that Wii Music will be anywhere near its competitors in the genre (at least, not the last time I checked). And it doesn't look like Wii Music could be very enjoyable to anyone past the age of 12. I guess it came to a point where Nintendo making money was more important than Nintendo making good games.
