Well with the microphone they could detect what note you're trying to sing and insert it. The only software that does that right now is Melodyne and it's $500+ I think. But it can't be that hard? |
Again; mind blown! That is an awesome idea, one I hadn't even considered. Now I am firmly in the Wii mUsic corner! Make it happen.

I agree the masses totally missed to point of this great title, but best product ever? What about the wheel?
edit: wrong thread
Did someone find the (maybe) hidden Totaka's song yet?
I liked this game, had hours of fun playing this with my daughter... I am looking forward to the sequel.
Isn´t Wii Music the game that was blamed for starting the Wii´s downfall?

It didn't harm the console, but the fact that Iwata etc thought the game would sell hardware and be the big Christmas release with Animal Crossing showed they didn't understand why Wii or Wii Sports/Fit were really selling. It wasn't the aesthetic and use of new hardware. So it showed Nintendo's direction was actually wrong and the following three years proved that.

If I remember correctly, only NSMB Wii one year later made the Wii a sales monster again, then in 2010 a bunch of games that weren´t really system sellers (Mario Galaxy 2, Sin and Punishment, Metroid Other M)....is Donkey Kong Country Returns considered a system seller?

This thread goes to show that any title, no matter how reviled by the general public, will find its audience.
I don't think Wii Music can be blamed for anything other than not being the Next Big Thing from Nintendo that was supposed to spark consumer buying frenzy once again for the Wii.
The problem with Wii Music is that it was supposed to be a hit game developed for the general public, not some high minded, high concept piece of entertainment software one had to "get" in order to enjoy. So instead, Wii Music translated as a miss; the biggest miss by Nintendo of the Wii life cycle.

The library is the aspect that really held this title back. It's got a few good folk and classical tracks, but the dearth of more fashionable pop/rock selections cemented the kiddy/casual label in the mind of the gaming public.
Then again, look at where all those license heavy music games are now. Didn't all Harmonix's profits get eaten up by licensing fees?
