New IP from Disney for Wii and DS: Ultimate Band.

[Hero of Legend]

http://gameinformer.com/News/Story/2...058.htm?Page=1





- Developed by Fall Line Studio!
- No peripherals, all instruments are played via Wiimote/Nunchuk
- Not Disney music, licensed music: Devo’s “Whip It”, The Raconteurs’ “Steady as She Goes.” and many more
- guitar: strum with Wiimote while pressing button combos on the Nunchuk
- bass: strum with Wiimote while pressing button combos on nunchuk
- slide Nunchuk to simulate sliding your hand up/down the neck of a guitar
- drums: Wiimote/Nunchuk used like drumsticks to tap out beat
- ‘trick system’ that has players hitting drum fills up to a certain number
- local multiplayer, but ‘no comment’ on online
- DS version will not feature licensed music. It will play out more like the jam session in Hannah Montana: Music Jam

Visuals aren't bad at all IMO!

Jack White sells out :(

He might as well put Ball & a Biscuit into the next Guitar Hero now..that would kick so much ass.


Oh and is it just me or is Wii getting an absolute shit ton of music games now. I mean Christ.

[FFChris]

Wonder where they got this idea from.. hmm.

[McBacon]

does anyone think this looks like rock band becuase i do

[Xun]

Why do I kind of want this?

I kid, I kid.

[Arde5643]

Why do I kind of want this?

because you're a consumer whore.

[Sage00]

Surfer Girl vindicated.

[DECK'ARD]

This sounds familiar.

what are you talking about, we know how original disney is.

[MisterHero]

The interface looks hard to read.

I shall rent this someday and consider it.

[DMPrince]

Never seen a game like this. Will pick up the Wii version when it's out.

[cjelly]

This will sell shitloads. I'm calling it now.

[Sadist]

There is a lot of music games for Wii now... holy crap.

[monchi-kun]

peep the guitar controls on the top screen...doesn't seem inuitive

[JDSN]

Aaand this is how you effectively saturate a genre in matter of months, great job third parties.

[Struct09]

That crowd is Cold as Ice

[Fuu]

Put Zefron in it.

[McBradders]

At least it looks ok ¬_¬

[Penguin]

So apparently everyone saw a market for Rock Band on Wii except for the actual Rock band.

[Lobster]

So basically..its that rock band minigame from RRR2?

So apparently everyone saw a market for Rock Band on Wii except for the actual Rock band.

Thats coming too.

[Y2Kev]

- No peripherals, all instruments are played via Wiimote/Nunchuk

wow

[poppabk]

So third parties finally realized that most minigame compilations don't sell too well on Wii. Time to start churning out music and rhythm games as that is all Wii owners want now. I know 3rd parties always jump on bandwagons (no pun intended) but don't they realize that these niche markets get saturated very quickly.

[PantherLotus]

WOW THIS IS AWESOME

NO PERIPHERALS OMG

[NintendosBooger]

Disney needs to quit presuming that they can make a good amount of money through Nintendo on gaming ideas that doesn't involve a crossover between their popular characters.

[Linkup]

Aaand this is how you effectively saturate a genre in matter of months, great job third parties.

At least you'll have your pick.

Hopefully of the four or five music games a few are worth a purchase.

QFT. Can't complain too much about this until the real Rock Band makes an appearance on the system. I'm actually surprised it took this long.

[Princess Skittles]

So much truth.

[Crushed]

This is a total Alvin and the Chipmunks ripoff.

[Endless]

So ...

Battle of the Bands

Guitar Hero III

Rock Band

Major-Minor's Majestic March

Samba de Amigo Wii

DDR: Hottest Party

Ultimate Band


¬¬'

[M3wThr33]

"Grandstand"

Gee....

[Gagaman]

Who wants to bet the music line up will include hanna Montana, High School Musical etc. =(

A ROCK BAND DISNEY GAME SHOULD BE LIKE THIS.

[Crushed]

Major-Minor's Majestic March Samba de Amigo Wii ¬¬'

Yeah, Samba de Amigo and Matsuura games are just totally copying Guitar Hero.

Who wants to bet the music line up will include hanna Montana, High School Musical etc. =(

- Not Disney music, licensed music: Devo’s “Whip It”, The Raconteurs’ “Steady as She Goes.” and many more

[Link Man]

Let's see more of the song list before we discount it entirely. It seems to be a good use of the controls, at the very least.

[Sadist]

So ... Battle of the Bands Guitar Hero III Rock Band Major-Minor's Majestic March Samba de Amigo Wii DDR: Hottest Party Ultimate Band Guitar Hero Aerosmith Guitar Hero IV

Added those two...

[Righty10]

Well atleast the character models look better than GHIII's...

[schuelma]

Let's see more of the song list before we discount it entirely. It seems to be a good use of the controls, at the very least.

Well, it has The Raconteurs which is a good start.

[Link Man]

Well, it has The Raconteurs which is a good start.

Which is why I said that.

[Fladam]

This is disappointing, but not unexpected.

I kinda think if Disney wanted to market a Guitar Hero-type game to 6 to 12 year-olds, they've be smarter to use Disney music. They could've had Disney characters, backdrops, etc.

This comes off as a clone.

[gamerx]

Who wants to bet the music line up will include hanna Montana, High School Musical etc. =(

Not Disney music, licensed music

.

[timbe]

Don't forget Wii Music (could be a lot different though).

[Finguo]

So ... Battle of the Bands Guitar Hero III Rock Band Major-Minor's Majestic March Samba de Amigo Wii DDR: Hottest Party Ultimate Band Guitar Hero Aerosmith Guitar Hero IV Band Mashups

MOAR!

[LiquidMetal14]

Just what the doctor ordered. No buy for me though.

[Gigglepoo]

Don't forget Wii Music (could be a lot different though).

I don't think we'll ever see Whip It in a Nintendo made game.

[bafflewaffle]

Music games are this gen's WWII FPS.

[Gagaman]

I'd be surprised if they used no Disney music what so ever, though. You need to fill up the track list with some stuff you own at some point (case in point, the Sega music in Samba De Amigo). Also, this game pretty much NEEDS at least some character cameos to even make it worth slapping "Disney" on it. I wouldn't mind seeing Stitch wailing on a guitar, myself.

[MisterHero]

MOAR!

Donkey Konga 1/2 are Wii compatible

So is Mario DDR

0_0 i didn't realize there were that many music games for Wii :P

[Leondexter]

I don't think we'll ever see Whip It in a Nintendo made game.

Why not? It was in Donkey Konga.

[Woo-Fu]

Oh and is it just me or is Wii getting an absolute shit ton of music games now.

That is how this industry works. Find a successful genre and every other publisher on the planet will be right on your tail.

It is just more obvious on the Wii because the dev cycles are shorter

[Crushed]

MOAR!

Battle of the Bands = Band Mashups' new title.
