i was sad when i thought it's gonna be cancelled (no news in a year), and then i was happy it's no cancelled. then i watched the clip and reminded myself of all the reasons i probably won't like this very much.
as far as i can see... you only get to control the tempo. well, music is much more than just tempo. lots of people would enjoy it, but with all the years of music training i've had the chances of me enjoying this is infinitesimal.
now, if they have online mode where each Wii represents a member of the orchestra... now that could be loads of fun. all of a sudden, it's about cooperation, to make the ensemble work. the music (referring to musicianship) becomes secondary, and that is a mode that will utterly kick ass.
come to think of it, that'll be kinda like rock band, without peripherals. and online.
EDIT: so yeah, Wii Music SHOULD be more than just controlling the rhythm. that'll be too trivial a project for Miyamoto. better be something like peripheral-less (or with peripherals??!!) Rock-Band.
the Wii is an epidemic.
