I've liked Nintendo since i was little. Just becasue i critize a game does not mean i hate them. Piss off.

I hope so. Not that they need to change anything much, but now that the storage problem is fixed, a stream of DLC for Wii Music would do me just fine.

Yeah, the limited musical content is really the biggest problem with the game. With a wider selection of songs and DLC, I would be hard pressed to think of how Nintendo could improve this game further.
Dear Nintendo,
Thank you for taking real risks and pissing people off instead of just playing it safe and making the same derivative games.
Keep pissing off nerds,

Umm that there's not as many people on your side as there are on his.
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

You don't know how many of those people who bought the game enjoyed it.
I like Screwattack's first look at Wii Music.
First Half is about Fable 2.
First of all: You don't know that the didn't all enjoy it
Second: You could say that about any game
Third: They liked the game enough to buy it, what evidence do you have that they didn't like it?

Some points to state before making a comment:
a)I've never played this game, nor am I interested in it.
b)I own a Wii (well technically my son does but I have access to it :P )
Now onto my POV:
I've read and understand both sides of the argument, but let's look at it from a different perspective:
Nintendo has had a history of producing shovelware (mario party comes to mind) and a history of making great games (Zelda, Metroid), and I can't happen but stop to think that while producing titles that many self described hard core gamers love, they can't all be gems.
As a company Nintendo needs to make money, so they look at something like Guitar hero/rock band and say : "hey we can cash in on this!" so, they go and make a music game where they basically can just slap something they already have developed (miis, motion control) and add music to it, 2.65 million sales later : $$$$$
All that $$$$$ can go a long way towards developing another gem, which will make the hard core gamers happy again. Or it could go towards refining the basic formula for Wii music 2 and make them all angry again.
In the end, you can't please all the people all the time, but remember this: Nobody is forcing you to buy the game.
I own Wii Music and I like it
