LeeWii Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 When viewing some of the Wii ads/promos, I noticed the possibility of using 2 Wiimotes as drumsticks. Now, being a drummer myself, I would deeply like to know if this type of game will be released, what it's called and when it's out. If anyone can update me, it will be much appreciated.
Dante Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 It's Wii Music and will be out sometime next year.

Dante Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Infomation: So far, the only games revealed to be in Wii Music are the same ones shown since the Tokyo Game Show 2005 conference. Both of these games are fully playable. Drums- In Drums, you use both the Wii controller and the Nunchuck together to simulate sticks. You use the drums just like you would do in real life, by moving your arms up and down to hit the drums and make noise. You hit the drums symphonically to make music. The game is revealed to have split-screen multiplayer. Orchestra- In Orchestra, you will only use the the Wii controller, with your opposite arm free. You swing it up and down to a certain tempo. Moving the Wii controller quickly with no real rhythm your Miis will play frantically, and if you do the contrary, by doing slow, graceful movements will create dragging notes and longer tones. There are no indicators of any kind to tell you how good or bad you are conducting the song, you must try to match the original music as best you can remember, and experiment which movements give better results. At the song's conclusion a round of applause emanates from the TV and the game gives you a numerical score. Below the score, the game informs you of your rank as a conductor. The classifications include Passionate, Graceful, and Methodical. Those players keeping an even tempo through the song are usually ranked as Methodical, where as players who swung wildly without keeping track of the rhythm of the song are usually deemed as Passionate. Since this game is still in development, more game modes could and are expected to be added to Wii Music.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 Whoa, is that still coming?! We haven't heard anything for ages.
Emasher Posted December 29, 2006 Posted December 29, 2006 might be an interesting game. hopefully for the conducting we can use an MP3 file. maybe this thread's name should become "wii music"
solitanze Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I guess record quality music production capabilities would be out of the question?
That Guy Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 Sounds interesting. Also interested in that plane game which still hasn't been properly announced.
Charlie Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I would be surprised if this didn't include a Guitar Hero type game...
or else you will DIE Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 I would be surprised if this actually comes out.
blender Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 kapplin predicts "music is going to be important to the wii". I think this is going to be the same as nintendogs. I remember they had nintendogs in an old e3 trailer and no one gave two hoots. Same with music. Hope there is an elite beat agents and dancing game soon too.
Noku Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 WiiDrums sounded brilliant at first, but the thought of having no pedals at yer feet is... well... appalling.

fanman Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 And how do you know what you're going to hit? Doing it with the tilt sensor would suck. Maybe it's just bongos...
chhang7 Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 i saw some footage of a guy using two remotes to play guitar, so there must be some sort of musical game coming out
blender Posted December 31, 2006 Posted December 31, 2006 i saw some footage of a guy using two remotes to play guitar, so there must be some sort of musical game coming out I think that was homebrew on a pc. but still shows potential
IMJ Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 in the official wii trailers the player were drumming on two wiimotes. Noku, perhaps they could release a footpedal extension with that game that connect to the remote. That would be awesome! I'm hoping for a Band Brothers type of game. Give us the beats and we'll drum it up

Wrath Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 guitar hero & guitar hero II would be awesome.. I wanted a Ps2 just for that! I love that game.. *sigh* Correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't NGamer Mag mention this in the Feb Mag edition? I would love a music game as I am a musical person..
