Wii News by Ellie Gibson

15 October, 2008

The Japanese website for Wii Music is listing six of the songs featured in the game BUT IS IT A GAME OR IS IT A TOY OR IS IT ART OR IS IT A GAME OR OR OR.

According to Siliconera, they include the theme tunes to Super Mario Brothers, Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing: Wild World.

You can also expect Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik and Ode to Joy from similarly dead composer Beethoven. And finally there's My Grandfather's Clock - a bluegrass song since covered by J-Pop artist Ken Hirai.

Wii Music is out in Japan this Friday, and will be released in Europe on November 14th. OR WILL IT yes actually.

Will the 'mainstream' know the Mario, Zelda and AC tunes well enough to want to play them?

OH LAWDIE I CAN'T WAITS TO PLAY ME SOME TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR.

Actually I consider Beethoven's ninth with the Ode zu Freude to be the best song/composition ever, so I'm kind of startled to see it in there.

That's fanservice for the core Nintendo gamer, so Reggie can call it a core game next time, doh.

"An die Freude", is it not? Why are you surprised? It's probably the most famous piece of pre-20th century music in existence.

You're right, I always mix it up ;(, probably because it's ode to joy in English. And I was startled because it's music for grownups.

The Wii has a lot of party games, but I reckon this'll actually be hilarious at Christmas parties. For the right price that is... I think Lips'll get a purchase before this if it's full price.

I'm really interested in seeing how this turns out. I imagine that, like Wii Sports, it'll be written off by many gamers as shallow when actually has a lot of depth.

And for those of you who aren't interested, why even bother clicking on the link? Seriously! Why not do something useful with your click instead?

oef!

Having spent a lot of time with this game - it's awesome, one of the most satisfying (and creative) ways to play on a Wii.....there is a reason why it's Mr. Miyamoto's pet project......and he wouldn't let anything sub-standard come out under his stewardship.

Good Call!

Why is it as soon as I saw Mute City on the tracklist I actually became a tiny bit interested. If it's got the Starwolf Theme I'd probably consider buying it as a Christmas present for my half brother and give it a go myself.

I'm with the guys (and gals) who are getting this.

Nintendo fully admit that it wasn't well represented at E3 and all you shallow 'oh I saw a trailer and I'm basing all my assumptions on that' types will just have to wait to see it in all it's glory.

Fair enough if you then go and play it and still think it's a piece of crap, but wait till you've actually seen the full game before coming to small minded conclusions.
