From the shots and info already available this is nothing close to Rock Band or Guitar Hero. It'll all be Wiimote-Nunchuk control as well.

Wii Music has loooong been in development but pushed aside for bigger projects like WiiFit. I expect it'd be out later this year though.

I think this will be closer to Daigasso! Band Bros. for the DS than it will be to Guitar Hero or Rock Band. But it'll have some lessons thrown in too, like Jam Sessions. Maybe teach you rhythm and how to read music or something.

Miyamoto is a personal hero of mine and usually very innovative but this smells like a Guitar Hero rip-off. I hope that I'm wrong,

I don't think it will be a GH rip-off.. i think it will be something very different and if it reachs the "Wii Sports level" it will be very innovative.

It isn't a rip-off of anything--we saw a tech demo of this before Rock Band was announced and when GH was just coming out and it wasn't yet known how popular it was.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Well I hope that everyone's optimism is met with a quality product. I'm sure that it will be good but I'm hoping for something of the highest quality. It's what I expect from Miyamoto.

Has anybody here played Daigasso! Band Bros. for the DS? It was going to be called Jam With the Band in the U.S., but then it never got released in the U.S., and I'll never know why. It's really amazing. It's an 8 player music game that even lets you write music for 8 instruments and play them back later. I really think Wii Music is going to be the Wii version of that, so you won't need 8 DS's to play a whole song. You'll just need 8 controllers. Maybe they'll even have that weird 8 player style that Bust-A-Move Wii had.

Sorry for the slow week of news ,but here is some Brand new Wii Music Details.

Wii Music was first shown at E3 in 2006, and was hailed as one of the most innovative games at the conference. Classic themes like The Legend of Zelda’s overworld tune were conducted and performed by an orchestra of Miis, two Wii Remotes were used to play the drums and the trumpet could be played in an exaggerated jazz fashion by changing the angle of the Remote… and then everything went quiet. There were rumours that Wii Music had been cancelled to focus on other projects.

According to a translation, we will be seeing classic Nintendo themes as well as brand new ones. Over 40 instruments will be available, including folk and bass guitars, maraccas, marimbas as well as the option to conduct your orchestra (as Miyamoto did at E3 2006). Each of these instruments will include their own unique controls (including strumming a guitar with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, and dual-Remotes acting as drumsticks), so there’s no need to worry about repetition. The gameplay revolves around play sessions, with six parts playable together (4 players and 2 CPU-controlled players).

Wii Music currently has a extremely vague release date of 2008. Stay with WiiNintendo for the latest Nintendo News.

 



 


I will still blame Wii Fit
