Wii Music - the music game that basically plays itself - will be out in US on October 20.
This date, according to several reports, comes directly from Nintendo of America. We're awaiting word on a UK release from Nintendo UK.
The music tool plays a series of pre-determined notes each time the user waggles the Remote or presses a button, depending on the instrument chosen, but completely indiscriminate of how the Remote is waved or which button is pressed.
There are over 60 'instruments', if you count a barking dog as an instrument, and over 50 tunes, including recognisable melodies from Nintendo's history.
Sweet home Alabama....my girlfriend actually mentioned this the other day.
I really, really don't like the sound of this at all.
It might be interesting to see how it does sales-wise though - I'm thinking that it'll either be another Wii Fit or an absolute stinker that bombs quicker than a CD32 Chess game.
I'll be very interested to see how this sells - I've not spoken to one person that even considers it 'vaguely interesting'. I expect a landfill in New Mexico is digging up ET cartridges to make room for these...
