7:12 Miyamoto and the translator do some rapid fire back and forth on the mouth harp and the harpsichord. They're still on the music selection screen. This isn't even the real game yet!

Conference to go on for 3 more hours confirmed.

 

[J-Rock]

I'm hoping a new game comes out of this but deep down...I know that won't happen. Damnit Nintendo.

 

[DonDepre]

Wait a moment... in Wii Music, you don't have to mach the correct "note" with the correct "movement or key"??? You only have to make any movement with the correct tempo?

 

[Dolphin]

I want megaton ;_;

Hey, cheer up, you got nanoton!

 

[Bloodwake]

I want megaton ;_;

Sorry bud, this E3's fresh out of megatons.

 

[MGrant]

Ugh. Yankee Doodle? Why is it when companies are too cheap to shell out for licensed music, they pick the blandest rights-free music instead? I look forward to such other classics like the "Happy Birthday" song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and Bingo.

For Christ's sake pick better songs.

 

[koam]

I want megaton ;_;

They specifially said they would show these three titles at the beginning of the conference

 

[Grecco]

I think the biggest insult that comes from games like Wii Music is how long they spend in development. For a game that has been in development for some 2+ years now it really is just insulting.

The Man power and money invested is probably really really minimal so it shouldnt be a problem

 

[TTP]

You basically play music however you please.

 

[A Link to the Past]

Wait a moment... in Wii Music, you don't have to mach the correct "note" with the correct "movement or key"??? You only have to make any movement with the correct tempo?

There's a "true rhythm game" mode (hitting the notes properly).

 

[nyong]

We'll know in the next 10-50000 minutes. Whenever they decide to leave the selection screen and start a game.

 

[devilhawk]

So what is the second Wii on the left lcd for? The mysterious fourth wii? I bet it doesn't even get used. I bet it has Kid Icarus inside it too...

 

[Christine]

Happy Birthday isn't public domain. Very much not so, in fact.

 

[HUELEN10]

I want megaton ;_;

I will give you one.


Nintendo should split into 2 companies.

Wii and Nintensoft.


Wii would make gaming hardware and casual projects.

Nintendosoft would make games as a 2nd party making games exclusively for Wii branded hardware.

THIS is what we need.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

damn stop quoting the same gif my wii browser hates me

 

[vareon]

7:14 JC comes up for a three-player jam on the original Super Mario Bros. theme. Miyamoto gets some laughs with the beat box character on melody. His "Whoo!" sounds just like Michael Jackson. Miyamoto asks us to notice how they don't have to watch the screen as they play. TAKE THAT, OTHER RHYTHM GAMES!

Better wording on the last sentence :

"You don't have to watch the screen when playing! TAKE THAT, GAMES!"

 

[MGrant]

Wait a moment... in Wii Music, you don't have to mach the correct "note" with the correct "movement or key"??? You only have to make any movement with the correct tempo?

No, no. You've got it all wrong.

You don't even need the correct tempo.

 

[Azuran]

Twinkle Little Star is already in the game.

*weeps*

 

[Darklord]

"Some 5-8 year old children of the development staff came in to try the game. "Children of that age could not pull themselves away from this gam," says Miyamoto"

...

You know those Fisher Price toys they sell at Babies R us? It's like that but with your mii shown on a tv screen. Wii Music is pretty terrible.

 

[Pre]

maybe the fourth Wii has a hardcore game in it. (pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease)

 

[Dolphin]

It would work.

Remo, new question:

"You're making us miss The Who for this?"

 

[TheGrayGhost]

Wait a moment... in Wii Music, you don't have to mach the correct "note" with the correct "movement or key"??? You only have to make any movement with the correct tempo?

Your movements will influence the tempo of the song, just as it was demonstrated in 2006. The slower you "play," the slower the song. The faster you "play," and so on. At least, that's how I understand it. When Miyamoto played the sax, he tilted the Wiimote upward and the pitch was high, as he tilted downward, the pitch was low. So I think how you move will influence your play of the instrument.

 

[JaMarco]

There's a "true rhythm game" mode (hitting the notes properly).

So where are the core games now?

 

[Chris Remo]

As a music degree holder, this is killing me. They're saying five year old love it though. Miyamoto thinks early music education should be based on it.

The Who is my favorite band of all time btw. I don't know how much longer I can hold out.

 

[J-Rock]

I'm getting an odd feeling that it will be over after Wii Music.

 

[pro_gamer666]

Someone should rush the stage grab the mystical "fourth" Wii and scream: "what's in youuuuuu!!!!!".


Then calmly sit down and scream Kid Icarus.

 

[HUELEN10]

It would work.

exactly.


All credit of that idea goes to TZP2gameknight btw.

 

[nyong]

7:15 You can change the arrangement, the tempo, and record it all to a music video to share with your friends on WiiConnect24. Some 5-8 year old children of the development staff came in to try the game. "Children of that age could not pull themselves away from this gam," says Miyamoto. They also can't drag themselves away from Barney the Dinosaur...

New Nintendo target demographics confirmed. Get em hooked while they're young. 20 years from now they'll be in our shoes, glued to the screen waiting for some meager offerings...

7:17 Miyamoto thinks that half of an elementary school music class could be dvoted to this. Mothers can also jump in to the game easily. And those in between, we wonder?

Moms are mature gamers right?

 

[NeoZylom]

Cool! A conference full of No-Ton

 

[DonDepre]

No, it's a Guitar Hero without frets, only with the strumming bar.

Seriously dude, if the Who was playing and I had access to go see them, and I had to sit through this, I would fucking leave.

Do it. Bail out.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

I'm on a wii too. My PC packed it in this morning, probably died of boredom. Man, I need to find a USB keyboard...

 

[Pre]

If that Wii has something real in it, it shall go down as the one Wii to rule them.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Wow the fact that you can record and share your Music with other players is really cool!

I Wonder how many songs is in the game...

There just completely ignoring the whole Male 13-100 age group these days huh?

 

[MGrant]

Do it. Bail out.

Extra points for actually yelling "Bail out!" while doing so.

 

[Haunted]

The stiq commentary is getting scathing. :lol

Tell Nintendo to "fuck themselves" and promptly make your exit. You're missing The Who for this? :|

 

[majortom1981]

Remo leave there will be nothing announced. Your missing a great concert

 

[aeolist]

Is there a liveblog for this?

 

[Bloodwake]

Seriously, only The Second Coming of Jesus the Christ Child (multiplatform) could save this E3

 

[Archie]

I hope Chris Remo is at The Who concert right now.

 

[tabsina]

maybe the fourth Wii has a hardcore game in it. (pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease)
