It's arguable that Wii Music is quite possibly Nintendo's most misunderstood game of this generation. It's the black sheep of forums and critics alike. But what if the game has more substance than meets the eyes, and all we need is a different approach while playing it to fully experience what it has to offer? One such editor believes the game has gotten unfair criticism by the media who are simply too conservative to accept that Wii Music isn't about "playing" but about "creating."
"Recently, there’s been a lot of press about SEGA and EA’s disappointment with the sales of 'adult' Wii games, such as Mad World and Dead Space: Extraction. While games like Wii Sports Resort seem to sell by the truckload, many 'mature-themed' titles struggle to break even.
Unfortunately this has lead to various games journalists and their readers making a very dubious leap of logic. In short, they're claiming that Nintendo is just for kids. According to certain elements of the gaming commu..."

Yukari Iwatani Kane of online.wsj.com has posted a rather long blog concerning Wii Music, the fans and general success. It's said Wii Music might be the first major flop for the Wii, Miyamoto insists it's simply not a big-and-fast seller like other games but a gradual process.
Will Wii Music take off? Will it flop? Read on about Wii Music and where it's at/going.
"For a long time, the games industry debated the question of whether a videogame could make you cry. But as I hope to demonstrate, this question is either irrelevant, or a game never has nor never could make you cry.
Games (under the systems view) cannot make you cry. Videogame titles can include narrative material that makes you cry, but no-one can claim to be surprised that a story can make you cry. Barring some serious change in what constitutes a videogame, the only way they are ever go..."
Chris Schilling of wiiwii.tv says he really likes Wii Music. Despite this positive response to the game developed by Miyamoto, he says it's not without flaws (and let's face it is there a game that's perfect?). He decided to blog five ways in which Wii Music could be improved to reach closer to that perfect status, so read on!
The suggestions were made on the basis of gameplay and replay value.
Tom East of officialnintendomagazine.co.uk has finally given in to festive temptations, making a blog of predictions as to what games will be number one sellers for the Wii and DS along with supporting reasons as to why.
His article brings up Call Of Duty: World At War, Guitar Hero, Wii Fit, Wii Play, Professor Layton And The Curious Village, Animal Crossing: Let's Go To The City, Pokemon Ranger: Shadows Of Almia and Wii Music.
What are your predictions for number one Nintendo sellers t...
Joshua Erwin of gotgame.com has made an article concerning Wii Music and the low reviews it has received.
He talks about the range of music on there and the sound. Then how it's different to say Guitar Hero in that you don't press the right button to make notes, you just mimic the motions displayed on the screen.
It then goes on to say how Miyamoto wanted to give people a different music video game to all the others currently circling through the market. He wanted to give people a prope...
"Simple as this- if you contribute to the (sadly inevitable) sucess of a product that pushes Nintendo further away from making anything of interest to gamers, I'm going on a rampage. I'd sooner they went back to making playing cards than see them reduced to this.
First off, it's not a game- it's a music simulator. You pick from a group of songs (that contains such classic and knee-slapping anthems as "Yankee Doodle" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star") but don't actually hit notes, you just ..."
