When it comes to music and rhythm games, Wii Music stands in a
class of its own. Unlike other music games, which penalize
players if they don't play perfectly, Wii Music is a musical
playground where there are no mistakes. Here anyone can pick up
and master the huge array of instruments available, through
simple motions like strumming and drumming. 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.
Gameplay: Getting Your Band Together
In Wii Music every band has six members: Two play the main
melody, two cover the percussion beats, one covers the bass
groove and one uses the song's chords to support the melody. As a
band, the six members often play their special parts at the same
time, though each player can jam however and whenever he or she
wants. Play all at once. Take turns in the spotlight. Pair up in
creative ways throughout the song. You can bring the band to life
by yourself, playing one part at a time-or with up to four
players. See game mode below: * Solo Play: When you play by
yourself, you can add one part at a time to arrange the whole
song exactly how you want. The Tutes are on hand to back up your
band in any parts you need filled.
* Multiplayer: When in a band with friends, up to four people can
be band members.
* Wii Friends: Using WiiConnect24, you can send your jam videos
to Wii Friends who own Wii Music. They can then watch your
performance, modify it to their liking and send their jam videos
back to you.
Tutes: Your Own Private Back-up Band
When not playing with friends, you can invite jam masters known
as Tutes to play with you. They'll join a session playing an
instrument that each thinks is strong for a specific song. You
can simply enjoy the musical camaraderie, or pick up instrument
tips by watching them jam. If you choose to watch, the Tutes will
show you lots of techniques for many of these instruments, then
ask you to follow their examples. They'll start with the simplest
techniques, then as you master each one, show you even more
nuanced ones.
Key Game Features:
* Easy to Play Improv Jams - All members of 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. Wii Music challenges you to
transform your improv stylings into great music. There are no
mistakes and no game scores-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, con and snare drums.
Hammer away to play piano, vibraphone and marimba. Unlike most
music games, Wii Music doesn't make you use many complex buttons.
You only need to imitate playing the instrument.
* 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.
* Share Your Band Jams With Friends - They'll see your Mii band
members, your players' improv styles and your instrument
selections. They can watch your s, or play over parts of
your song, then send their modified back to you. So you
can send improv jams back and forth over WiiConnect24, changing
them again and again.

Fun Beyond the Jam
Designed with classic Wii gameplay in mind, Wii Music includes
many other modes and play options besides the main band jams,
including several musical games and an enhanced video playback
mode for recorded jams. * Videos Mode: Watch your jam videos in
an enhanced playback mode that brings your jams to life with fun
environmental effects and dramatic camera angles.
* Mii Maestro: By waving the Wii Remote like a conductor's baton
in this mini-game, you'll lead a Mii orchestra through
orchestrated songs, such as The Legend of Zelda theme. Make them
play quickly, slowly, strongly or gently-the orchestra is at your
command.
* Handbell Harmony: In this musical mini-game, you'll play in a
handbell ensemble by swinging your Wii Remote and Nunchuk.
Everyone on the team has a job to do: play one of your notes only
when the tune demands it.
* Pitch Perfect: How good is your musical ear? In this whimsical
musical quiz, you'll have to solve challenges, like putting
note-playing Miis in order from lowest to highest pitch.
* Drum Mode: In the one mode that uses the Wii Balance Board
accessory (sold with Wii Fit), you can feel what it's like to
play a real-life drum set. You'll use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk
as drumsticks, and place both feet on the Wii Balance Board-which
work as virtual pedals for the bass drum and hi-hat cymbal.
