Forums - Nintendo - Miyamoto has lost it.

I see this becoming a 500 post thread



Around the Network

This is regarding something else in the article outside of Miyamoto "losing it". Do you actually create music in Wii Music because both Nintendo and people in these forums have both implied it. From what I gathered you just picked an instrument and it would play the notes that apply to whatever song is chosen before hand.

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.

since you quoted my in your sig without my permission, which is against the rules, I won't say anything to have it taken down but I'll let you know;

What I said right there sounds very mature and discerning to me. Makes me sound a bit old, but whatever.

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...

Actually, Guitar Hero has led to a dramatic upswing in kids taking Guitar lessons. So Music games really do get kids in to music.

 

 



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

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.

 

 


Pot, kettle, black.

And Wii Music doesn't have any competitors in its genre. It is, for all intents and purposes, the representative of an all-new genre - not a "rhythm game," but instead a music-making game. The only thing I can think of that's been similar thus far is the highly underrated Electroplankton for DS. It may not be perfect, but at least it's something new, and even if it sucks, it may at least lead to something better in the same emerging genre.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

That is one thing I have had a huge problem with. Everyone is saying it, but I've watched the videos, the previews, everything. Nothing directly says you make music.

Now, if this game were more along the lines of a Mario Paint style creator, AND a game I would be more inclined to support it.

 



Well.What can you say..
Music is everything??

Fair enough. I considered it to be a rhythm game since you can also play the music, but usually games that create new genres are outstanding enough to do so. Wii Music may only reach that through sales impact.

I haven't really heard enough about the game to say it will be completely awful, but I believe in freedom of opinion.

I may be mistaken, but I've never seen that the game let's you make music (which GH:WT will let you do), for what I've seen, you pick a song from a list and act as if you were playing it




Yeah when Samba di Amigo came out there was a huge surge in the number of kids taking marraca lessons.

I can't wait to see what kind of lessons kids will take now.
I've seen cymbals, triangles, flutes, guitars, gongs....
imagine a rise in gong tutoring LMAO
