you are ruining everyone's fun garcian.


Lol, all the rage here is hilarios.
And that miyamoto comment about starting music education with Wii music in kindergartens is a valid idea - bacause kids could first get interested into the music itself, and then have motivation to learn to play the real instrument rather than parents forcing kids to take music lessons

.
Ummm cmon Rol it's obvious. It's the part where kotaku tells me it's crazy.


So what? Miyamoto had fun making this game. Big deal.
He didn't say that he didn't have fun making Super Mario Bros. I'm sure the circumstances while making Super Mario Bros. (video game market crash and all that) and the circumstances while making Wii Music were vastly different.
| Garcian Smith said: I agree with Miyamoto. Most kindergarteners can't yet grasp how to play real instruments, and elementary-school music classes these days basically amount to, "play the notes that I say or get an F." Wii Music could really serve to instill some creativity in young children that eventually leads to playing a real instrument. |
You must be that breed of whiny internet nerd that thinks that he's somehow above the others. Cool.
And Nintendo has always been about making their games as accessible as possible for as many people as possible. While it is an RPG, I've seen many children pick up and enjoy Paper Mario. So far, we haven't seen anything that indicates that Wii Music will be anywhere near its competitors in the genre (at least, not the last time I checked). And it doesn't look like Wii Music could be very enjoyable to anyone past the age of 12. I guess it came to a point where Nintendo making money was more important than Nintendo making good games.
I'll personally give it a shot. My nephew's getting it for x-mas so I won't have trouble accessing it. How bad can it be? And if it's terrible, then I just won't play it again.

You said it.
Miyamoto's confidence in the game, his enjoyment of it, gives me onfidence in its quality as a product. I know I'm not alone in this.
Montana: What, exactly, gives you the impression that Wii Music is "competing" with rhythm games like Guitar Hero or DDR?
I guess getting kids interested in music early wouldn't be a bad idea.
Frankly, I wonder how many potential guitarists we've lost because they're off playing guitar hero instead of learning to play the real thing.
Arguably, those guitarists couldn't have been that dedicated to the craft anyway, though...
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
