Manufacturer's Description
Music games featuring expensive instrument shaped controllers are becoming commonplace in video games, but Nintendo’s new
Wii Music promises to let you simulate more than 60 different instruments with nothing more than the Wii remote and nunchuck.
 Make music in multiple environments |
 Up to four people can play at once, plus other accompanying Miis |
 There’s no need for expensive peripherals in this music game |
 Songs range from classical to rock to remixed Nintendo tunes |
Unlike other music games, you don’t follow any onscreen icons but instead mime along to the music by holding the remote like a real instrument and pressing the buttons in time with the song. So, for example, when you’re playing saxophone you hold the remote vertically and press the buttons as you would on the real thing.
There are several game modes, but in most you play as part of a six-person band, either playing along with friends or controlling up to four of the band members at once on your own. Since no musical experience is necessary, all you need is a sense of rhythm and you can play any instrument available.
Key Features - Music store: Simulate more than 60 different instruments, including guitar, violin, piano, drums, trumpet, maracas, and cowbell.
- Drumming up interest: An advanced drum simulator allows you to use remote and nunchuck as drumsticks and the Balance Board from Wii Fit as the drum pedals.
- Orchestral maneuvers: If you don’t want to play an instrument you can take the role of conductor and swing the remote like a baton.
- Band together: Play with and against up to four friends, each of you playing a different instrument, or challenge the game alone with computer controlled bandmates.
- Show tunes: Learn a wide range of different tunes from the Overture from Carmen to the themes from Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda.

Product Description
Even if you've never played a note in your life, Wii Music can help you get in tune with your inner musician. You and up to three friends can take the stage, side-by-side, to share the spotlight and make your own brand of beautiful music!
Wii Music lets you play more than 60 musical instruments. Whatever instrument you select - from bagpipes to banjos, drums to double bass - playing is a simple case of making moves with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. To play guitar, just strum as though you had a six string in your hands, making faster movements to play louder and pressing buttons to alter your style. With the flute, just hold the Wii Remote like you would the real thing and tap the 1 and 2 Buttons whilst moving the controller up and down to alter the sound.
With Wii Music, you can share your sounds with audiences around the world. As you play, your performances are recorded, and you can send these concert videos to other Wii owners via WiiConnect24!
