Wii Music Announcement
When the Wii launched back in 2009, Nintendo also released a slew of little games alongside the other launch titles. One of these games was Wii Music, which allowed players to create their own band and play music together. And by “play,” we mean as in Rock Band or Dance Dance Revolution kind of play. Not really playing the instrument, but just enough to believe that you actually are. And there’s a really good reason why these games are best played at home. With your friends and family, not to the general public in front of a large audience. It’s just that when you have to sell your product, sometimes you don’t really have a choice. So when Shigeru Miyamoto and a few other Nintendo reps had to “perform” a musical piece during E3, things… got pretty weird. Let’s just say watching four grown adults pretending to groove out, with Miis playing in the background wasn’t exactly the best way to sell Wii Music.
