I've never seen so much !@#$% whining in my entire life. Wii Music looks cool, and all of you know it. Cry more about the fact that you have to wait a little longer for Zelda. Please, cry more.
Let's put WiiMusic into perspective, so you all can get a glimpse as to why it enrages me, completely ignoring the principles of it and how it portrays music.
In order to play this, you'll have to have software. Ok, for the sake of argument, $50.
Then you'll need a Wii-mote. You should already have one of these.
Then you'll need a nun-chuck. $20.
Then you'll need a balance board. $15.
Then you'll need a 1:1 motion sensor. Price unannounced but for the sake of argument, $20.
That's a grand total of $105 for a player who only owns a Wii and wishes to play WiiMusic. But wait, want to play with a friend on guitar? Ok!
You'll need an additional wii-mote. $40.
An additional nunchuck. $20.
An additional 1:1 sensor (Probably). $20.
That's $80. $185 to play 2P WiiMusic from a fresh $250 Wii. Sure, you could find friends to bring peripherals over or you might have them already, and they work with other niche games, but damn, for that price, why not just buy Rock Band and the first volume of DLC for your Wii? It'd be helluva lot more fun than playing on a game that will really make the music for you as you wave around your air instruments wildly. And you get to play licensed rock songs instead of Nintendo hits, which for most sane people would be a plus, but knowing this place some people would much prefer to play video game music...
I'm sorry, but Nintendo dropped the ball here from the way they presented this at E3.
