Not going to lie; I was in college when this game came out, and being obsessed with everything Wii, I got this game, took it home, and played the heck out of it for like...a little less than a week. It was entertaining for a short time, once I got a bit of the hang of it, but my biggest disappointment was that the game didn't have a "composer" mode like Mario Paint. When the trailer mentioned "composing you're own creations," I thought that's what they meant. Instead, it's basically a big midi remixing program.

[@ExtremeWreck]

FALSE FREAKIN' ADVERTISING. WHAT THE HECK NINTENDO!?!?

[@sodapone]

28:54 This point is interesting - there are plenty of rhythm games out there that cut down the length of songs, but they're usually arcade rhythm games where time spent not putting more money into the machine is effectively time wasted, so you want to be efficient with how much playtime the player gets on each credit. Thing is, Wii Music isn't a freaking arcade game. There is no time pressure. Maybe Nintendo thought casual players would find it too exhausting to sit through all four minutes of Every Breath You Take. Given this is Wii Music we're talking about, I'd be inclined to agree.

[@NegaPosiminusplus]

i thought that this was just a standard thing rhythm games did regardless of where they were originally released. i know project diva does the same and it first came out on the psp.

[@dashcamandy2242]

A friend that I was living with for a time barged into my room one day with his PS2, bragging about how skilled he was at Guitar Hero (after less than a day of playing on Easy), and without permission, hooked his console up to my TV/stereo system and proceeded to demonstrate several tracks. Finally, he opened up the door to his own demise by asking if I had any requests. Being strongly opposed to people who are braggarts, I requested "Jessica" by Allman Brothers Band, knowing fully that it was a complex tune AND had a runtime of 7:31. About halfway through the song, he was missing more notes than he was hitting, and during the bridge his hands were cramping up. 🤣 After that, he was so angry with me that he disconnected his PS2 from my TV/stereo in a huff, and went back to his own room. He didn't learn his lesson about bragging without the goods to back it up, but at least I got him out of my room for the day!

It depends between games tbf. Some older DDR mixes (one I remembered being DDR 5th mix) and later Pump it Up also have full songs that takes 2 songs worth of playthrough (so if 1 credit gives you 3 normal songs to play, these full songs will take 2 of the 3 normal songs alloted). I think it's a good compromise between making sure 1 person doesn't play it for too long and having full songs that a player could play.

[@vivi1649]

I like that they brought Darth Maul to play drums on that weird 2008 E3 presentation. Also, if you're wondering why the game sounds so bad, it's because they're probably using a rather limited variation of the GS Sound Set, which is basically the same instrument bank you'll find in any cheap YAMAHA or CASIO keyboard, and one of the simplest synthesizers to implement on any device.

[@Hemostat]

All those songs they included look like the demo songs on an electric piano too

[@jmal]

In that case, they could've included Canyon.mid. Missed opportunity of the century.

[@3rdalbum]

Technically it's because they are using an off-the-shelf synthesizer to create those sounds. General MIDI only specified what instruments should be available, not how the noises are generated. You can have very high quality synthesized sounds generated in response to MIDI, but either Nintendo decided not to license a good software synth or they were worried that the Wii's CPU couldn't handle anything better.

[@vivi1649]

@@3rdalbum You're correct. General MIDI is the protocol used to talk to _any_ synthesizer or sound bank, which can be very good or bad. I wasn't very clear in my original comment, so I made an edit. Thanks for pointing this out!

One thing both Rockband and Guitar Hero did right was they didn't just have popular songs.

I have good memories from playing this. I was once at a neighbours house and they had the game. All of the kids here knew it was bad, but no one was currently playing the wii, so I booted it up because i just wanted to know how bad it was. I tried two songs, I think it was the zelda theme and mute city. I would always try to go with the rythm, but I ended up just giving up and shaking the wiimotes to make the worst thing as possible. The funniest things about it you ask? The neighbours had a third party sensor bar that worked as much as mcdonalds ice cream machine. So using the pointer was horrendous. So when the game asked to do a cover art, I tried hard to point, and then it registered me putting a mii on the cover. and I found out that the sensor bar has a problem with detecting the distance separating the bar and us. So what I ended up is a very very close up shot of a mii's face. It took me 2 minutes to catch my breath because I was laughing so hard. Good times

Because the wii-mote isn't accurate enough to capture the motions required to play to a trombone.

[@HaplessOne]

I know theres this joke about how people got over the wiis gimmick and it became a dust collector in many living rooms, but i miss my wii so damn bad. I really wish I kept mine.

[@SanicConnoisseur_91]

I’ve heard almost nobody talk about sting and the police, I absolutely love their music. You can imagine how I felt when I found out that Wii music *butchered* good songs here.

Even Rock Band got the shortened version thing right. You had both the long and short versions as an option.

The music quality we heard in this game reminds me of the era of SoundBlaster clones/compatible cards on PC with sub-par MIDI chips. They couldn't even make the SOUNDS right.

[@theotherjared9824]

This can't be understated for the younger generations. Nintendo hyped this game up like it was going to change the induatry. Miyamoto said he was proud to make this. And then E3 2008 happened, and then it released as a bare bones tech demo that would be a disappointing launch title, and you have wii hardware and software sales noticably decline afterwards.

[@fortunamajor7239]

'Younger generations' like you're not 22 😭

Two words that shows that Nintendo had it figured out already a generation prior: Donkey Konga.

This is one of THOSE games, The type you wouldn’t be caught dead playing in front of other people due to sheer embarrassment. Your friend comes over, and you HIDE this game. You don’t let them know your parents ever got you this for Christmas as a waste of a gift.

Don't worry. It gets worse. Wii Music isn't the only bad game Nintendo has put out.

I personally think that they aren’t “bad” games. Nintendo is the kind of company where even their “worst” games have good aspects to them.

[@benmalsky9834]

PLEASE don’t call me names for saying this, but I think bad games from Nintendo are SUPER RARE.

[@SaltyToad00]

​@benmalsky9834 Hard disagree. Mario Sports Superstars (which is the worst Nintendo game I've played) is terrible because of how boring it is. And that's coming from a guy who thinks Mario Strikers Battle League is a OK game.

@@Yoshizuyuner You've got that right. Just take a look at Sword & Shield.

[@Basyilo]

In my early childhood, I grew up playing games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow Dancer, Rock N' Roll Racing, etc. While other kids were raised with games like Wii Music and others that relied on the console's motion controller. I wonder what they're up to these days?

[@Kaybeeguy]

I remember playing Wii Music a lot back in the day and I was very numb to the fact that people consider the game garbage. Nowadays, I can see how flawed it is, but it did help me get into music in general as it had my mum get me into piano. So, if Wii Music was good for anything, it got me into music

The Wii in its entirety is pretty much the gaming world's equivalent of those photos from college that seemed like a good idea at the time, but in retrospect just make you want to curl up and never, EVER speak of them again. And I say that as someone who considers Super Mario Galaxy to be perhaps the best Mario game in history.

There was some good stuff: Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Xenoblade, Kirby's Epic Yarn was different, but not bad, just to name a few. However, when sleazy developers saw the console was marketed for people who wouldn't know Megaman from Ninjabreadman, the console became a dumping ground for shovelware. Didn't help Nintendo kinda abandoned the more hardcore gamers.

Not only Guitar Hero/RB had high quality masters of original songs, they also had the individual stems for them. The guitar track, drums, vocals, etc, all separated, especially in the later releases. You could adjust their volumes individually to make the songs sound the way you like them. Want to hear the bass more in A Justice for All? Guitar Hero had you covered like no other official CD/LP release could. You never had this level of control in officially released songs and after the bubble burst, you probably never will again.
