Forums - Nintendo - Wii Music - The ultimate videogame?

The thing that game developers have always aimed for, is accessibility and largest possible audience. Something what everyone can play equally, at the same level, without someone getting badly beaten by a more skilled player, or advancing in the game in similar fashion.

The different skill levels of players have always tried to be compensated by different difficulty levels, adaptive AI or somekind of handicap setting.

Super Mario Bros at the time was very accessible game, anyone could play it, but if you didn't evolve in skill, you couldn't advance. Pong was very accessible, you just picked up a controller and turned the knob, but if your co-player was more skillful, he'd beat the shit out of you. Wii Sports, anyone could play it, but due to its nature, you needed to learn timing and some physical constraints could make the game too hard, especially for old people.

 

But Wii Music, the pinnacle of accessibility, is a game that everyone can pick up and play, you can't play it wrong, you advance despite not having experience in games, you play at the same level with everyone else, no matter how experienced in the particular game they are. To put it short, everyone plays it in the same level and don't get beaten by the game or co-player.

 

The ultimate videogame indeed.

Lies I tell you! Pure, fabricated lies!



@Halogamer: Hahaha. The comment was really funny, when looking at the look on your avatars face.

Yeah, it was the truth. Step out of the denial.

So what you're saying is: There is no way to pwn n00bs in Wii Music.

My e-peen is flaccid just thinking about this concept.

No there isn't. And they can't pwn you.

 

Actually i'm saying, that Wii Music is the ultimate consept in videogames. Only thing that limits it from getting the potential 6,5 billion people audience, is its price. Only people who are crippled can't play it and maybe the def doesn't get all the enjoyment, but even the blind can play and enjoy it.

So it's a game in which you can't win or lose? Isn't that what games are all about?



We really need more Wii Music threads.

And this thread only makes me want to buy 3 copies.



Guitar Hero series and Rock Band series are much better music based games for gamers. Wii Music is made to compete alongside the heavy weight music titles already on the market.

Wii Music will sell over 5 million just like all Nintendo first party games are expected to sell. Does it mean it is a good game if it sells over 5 million? No.

Wii Music being mentioned alongside Pong and Super Mario Bros is blasphemy to gamers.

Wii Music will be like Wii Fit. It will sell a lot of copies but it will not be any good. I wonder how many people are still playing Wii Fit six months on?



Miyamoto has said that this is a music toy, not so much a game.

Noo... the point of video games is to have fun.. A lot of people play GTA and just run around doing random things because it's fun and never actually care for the story..

Wii Music is very similar in that it will be fun to muck around with for people who don't want to devote hours into learning controls and such..

For most of us here at VGChartz, Wii music would not be a very enjoyable experience but for all the people who are offended.. I honestly don't know what to say.. It's like the small group of people that were against sound in movies (I'm assuming there would be some people like that lol) The fact is for some people the thought of being able to mimick playing those instruments is great and they'll pick up the game..

Why have anything against people having fun and mucking around with it?
