Wii Music [PAL]

Wii Music includes
many other modes besides the main band jams, including several musical
games and an enhanced video playback mode for recorded jams.

• Play it
again: Use the playback mode to see your jam recordings brought to life
with dramatic camera angles.

• Pick up
the baton: Command an orchestra in the conducting game where
you’ll wave the Wii Remote controller like a
conductor’s baton to lead a Mii orchestra through
orchestrated music. Make them play quickly, slowly, strongly or gently.


• Ring a
bell? Play a handbells game where you’ll swing your Wii
Remote and Nunchuk controllers to play your two handbells as part of a
larger ensemble. Everyone on the team has a job to do: Play one of your
notes only when the tune demands it.

• An ear for
music: Take a tone quiz that tests your musical ear by giving you
challenges, like putting note-playing Miis in order from lowest to
highest pitch.

• Bang the
drum: Play a virtual drum set in the drumming mode, the one mode in Wii
Music that also uses the Wii Balance Board accessory (sold with Wii
Fit™). You’ll use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk
controllers as drumsticks, and place both feet on the Wii Balance
Board—which work as virtual pedals for the bass drum and
hi-hat cymbal.

Create a musical
masterpiece with up to four players. Anyone can play the huge selection
of instruments in Wii Music with simple motions—like
strumming and drumming.

•
It’s easy to play improv jams. Musicians in your band jam by
simply playing their instruments to the beat of a song or by
improvising to their heart’s content. Play faster. Play
slower. Skip a beat, or throw in 10 more. No matter what you do, Wii
Music automatically transforms your improv stylings into great music.
There are no mistakes—just playing for the pure joy of
playing.

• Wii
controls immerse you in the music. You can play most of the 60-plus
instruments in Wii Music using simple motions with the Wii Remote and
Nunchuk controllers. Strum to play guitar, banjo and sitar. Drum to
play jazz drums, congas and marching drums. Hammer away to play piano,
vibraphone and marimba. Unlike most music games, Wii Music
doesn’t make you use complex buttons. You only need to
imitate playing the instrument.

• Wii Music
offers virtually endless ways to make music. You choose the song and
instruments and decide whether to blaze through a rock take on
classical songs, put a jazzy spin on folk tunes or transform Nintendo
classics like the Super Mario Bros.® theme into Latin-flavored
numbers. The song list is only a takeoff point—it’s
how you improvise with the songs that matters.

• Send your
band-jam recordings to Wii Friends who have Wii Music.
They’ll see your Mii™ band members, your
players’ improv styles and your instrument selections. They
can watch your recordings, or play over parts of your song, then send
their modified recording back to you. Improv jams can be sent back and
forth over WiiConnect24 and changed again and again.
