Good for you Nintendo fans, you all can enjoy looking at Nintendo's deep pocket while we actually enjoy playing games.

 

Some people enjoy playing Yankee Doodle and I'm a Little Teapot with a band of Mii's. Quality is subjective!

I know, and I pity these people. 

Save your pity. I have since Christmas talked to four people that got Wii Music and absolutely love it. Two of them are extremely talented professional musicians, one was a music teacher / band director with 20 years experience and the other was a seven year old girl who loves music but has been frustrated that many instruments don't fit her small hands and her coordination isn't completely mature.

I don't think they want or need your pity. If you don't like the game or the idea of the game, just do what I do and don't buy it. But don't go acting like you are some annointed king of game taste for everyone on earth.

 

 

You have my backing on this subject as well Grampy, I'm a music education major in college at the moment and I really enjoy Wii music, there's no "glorified noise maker" there as Matt from IGN put it.  The game also teaches basic music fundamnetals, I remember being in 1st and 2nd grade and learning many of the things it teaches in the game, I'd say I'm privilaged enough that my local schools cared enough about the arts to teach us music so early, but many people and schools don't do this so it's a great tool for basic understanding of music, as well as a fun game to play by yourself or with friends.

(Note I highly respect Matt from IGN but he's obviously in a bad mood lately, he had more of a reason to get mad during the dead time's of the Gamecube era then 2008 when Wii had many great games, just my two cents towards this topic)
