I will always cherish my memories of Nintendo’s E3 2008 press conference. That’s where they showed off Wii Music for the first time. It was awkward and amazing. There were accordians, puppy suits as instruments, and some of the most shocking air drumming you’ve ever seen.
I hope that we can expect that kind of showing again when they announce the inevitable Wii Music 2. It’s not a confirmed title yet, but Nintendo’s genius game maker Shigeru Miyamoto teased a sequel in a way.
“As soon as we’ve finished a project, I always have regrets about what we could or should’ve done,” Miyamoto said in the latest issue of Edge.
“But then there are these great ideas that we can utilise with future projects, one way or another. Some people might say Wii Music is a good example. It’s been said that it could have sold much more than it actually has to date, but it simply means that I have some assets right now that, by tweaking something, we might be able to have great success with in future.”
While we poke fun at the game and its reveal, I think there’s a genuinely solid concept somewhere inside Wii Music. Maybe Miyamoto needs a second try to get it working properly. I’d try it again.
