Jam to the preset song list with up to three other friends and over 60 instruments this holiday season.
Adding to their Wii brand today, Nintendo announced the latest title, Wii Music. Wii Music is a simple rhythm game that is unlike any other title on the market currently. Instead of following a preset note pattern, players are able to improvise and not worry about failing or messing up the beat.
Players need only mimic the instrument they are trying to play in order to make music. As players jam out to a tune, they are able to record their session and mail it out to registered Wii Music friends. Players will also be able to play back their own recording utilizing dramatic camera angles provided in the playback mode.
Outside of playing the 60 plus featured instruments, players will also be able to conduct an orchestra using the Wii Remote as a baton, similar to Miyamoto's presentation at E3 2006.
With the Ring a Bell mode, players can use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk and play along with a group of other bell players hitting the notes when the song requires it.
The Ear for Music mode will let players test their musical knowledge by taking a tone quiz. During the quiz players can do things like reorganize Miis belting a certain tone from highest to lowest.
Finally, players with a Wii Balance Board will be able to put it to further use in the Drum Mode. The Balance Board will act as the foot pedal in the drum set with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk acting as the sticks. Players will be able to practice on their virtual drumset and improve their drumming skills.
Wii Music will be prepared for release this holiday season. Check out the official trailer for the game below.
