I swear Western developed games are not worth the trouble.

Ok. I think I figured this out. Why I was confused. The stereo does work when refering to the game features, like battles playing music out of L/R. The actual music however is not playing on separate stereo channels... I can understand why this is disappointing to some, but we own Wii's. I didn't buy my Wii because I am a technophile or audiophile (that is why I own a PS3).

It's not a big deal to me, but I feel bad for the ones that care.

Steven, we hear you. But the Wii supports Dobly Surround. Not the fancy stuff like Dolby Digital Plus TruHD Uncompressed LPCM stuff, but good Dolby Surround mixes that can be decoded by good Dolby Prologic decoders. For a music game not to support it, it's lame; for a game that advertizes it not to support it, it's a serious bug.
