New Wii Music Details Revealed


Nintendo revealed fresh details about the company's upcoming game, Wii Music.

Wii Music will combine motions and button presses on both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to control a six-member Mii band. Forty instruments will be available in the single- and multiplayer modes. Solo players can either control four band members simultaneously or regulate the computer to the other musicians. The musical content of the game is currently unknown.


Nintendo first presented Wii Music at E3 2005, with the demo version allowing gamers to conduct a large orchestra. Although players will still be able to conduct in the game, it is unknown if the large-scale performances will remain.

Wii Music is expected to ship in Japan sometime in 2008. A release date for other territories has not been provided.

Super Mario Stadium Baseball announced for Wii



The only other new Wii software announcement other than Monster Hunter 3 at Nintendo’s Autumn 2007 press conference was conformation of its own Super Mario Stadium Baseball, a new sports title for the little white, whirring box.

The sports ’sim’ is the sequel to the Nintendo GameCube’s Mario Superstar Baseball, which was released for the Wii’s predecessor in 2005. The title, which featured a variety of characters from the Nintendo family; various game modes including Challenge and mini-game modes and numerous difficulty settings, was received pretty well by the critics, so hopefully this new offering will deliver more of the same.

No concrete details were release, but you can bet your life on the fact that it’ll make full use of the Wii Remote’s motion sensing functionality.
