Normally I wouldn't go around and spam the
Video Game Generation
with topics about bad games but this one truly calls for it...
Wii Music
How does Nintendo even has the guts to put this on the shelves?!? Seriously, is this the same company responsible for Super Mario Galaxy?
I wonder what the budget for this game was...$10k or something
Isn't Nintendo making enough money to atleast put out some decent games instead of this Wii Sports/Fit/Music crap? I mean, come on, even the most casual of casual gamers will think this is worthless.
Watch the review to see what I mean...it's pretty unbelievable.

And to think I used to respect Nintendo's moves...
. 99% of the games the did had some sort of a polish to them that made them say "Nintendo", and sadly, I think that the massive money made from Wii is clouding their judgment now.

Because they are trying so hard to be different that they, in some ways, have forgotten who they are and how they got here.

Better song selection, not having the ability to grade yourself (what were they thinking?!) and not getting forced to record a video then watch it, and it could have been alright. I am glad they did try something a little different apposed to making a Guitar Hero / Rockband clone.
With all of that said, get Rayman Raving Rabbids 2. A lot more fun, and also has your Guitar Hero / Rockband mini game.

Hold your horses...
Wii Sports is fantastic. Sure it's simplistic beyond all belief, but it's a pack in game that has as a ton of lasting value (imo..). It's funny, companies strive to recreate it but fail miserably even though the game is really just a tech demo.
And on a side note...
Mario Super Sluggers is some of the most fun I've had playing the Wii. I know it technically isn't one of the best games on the system but I love it's simplicity, the ability to pick players, and you know... use of the wiimote. I guess what I'm trying to say is a lot of the Wii's games are super fun even if they don't get the best reviews. However there is no way in hell I'd touch Wii Music.

You could add "making better use of Wii's controller" to that list.

Whenever someone mentions Wii Music, I think of Sarcastic Gamer's Twisted Trailer for it.

I think people give this game an unnecessarily hard time. It has more than it's share of flaws, but it also caters to it's market. Nintendo is working hard to reach out to the casual gamers with the Wii and in doing so will need to continue to release casual games. I think it's hard for a lot of people as gamers to be able to see how a game that isn't marketed for them still has a market and could still be hitting it's market's target. For example, my friend's daughter is about to turn one and she has a small electronic toy guitar. The guitar has a couple electronic riffs that it plays when you press one of it's three buttons. My friend was joking about how he was going to make a review of Wii Music and claim that his toy guitar was better than Wii Music. I asked him if his daughter had fun playing with it and he said that she has a blast playing it. I told him that he should take it away from her and tell her that she can enjoy playing music when she can handle a Rock Band guitar. Obviously he gave me a pretty sour look because it was a stupid comment, but it's a similar concept to the collective reaction to Wii Music. Those of us who really enjoy music games and wail on a Rock Band guitar, a set of Dreamcast Maracas, or a Pop'n Music controller and never play Wii Music unless it's thrust into our hands by a friend or loved one. At the same time though, there are people out there like children or seniors in nursing homes or handicapped people who may not be able to keep up with a controller with 9 buttons or a whammy bar but are enjoying a similar music playing experience.
As far as the gametrailers.com review, I thought they were pretty fair with it. They did a good job pointing out it's good and bad points. It's a great concept, but it really needed some extra modes, a simple game engine (ala Daigasso Band Bros), or a means of composing multi-tracked songs with the different instruments to give it some substance.

Agreed. Nice points too. :thumbsup:

I really had no desire for this game before I watched the trailer. But now I can't wait to play it. It looks really cool and could provide hours and hours of fun.
Of course I'm just BS'n. This game looks worse than I ever could have imagined. There is noooooo way I could buy this game now. I mean "Twinkle Twinkle Litttle star" COME ON. What were they thinking.
