 | | It’s easy to play improv jams. 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. There are no mistakes—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, congas and marching drums. Hammer away to play piano, vibraphone and
marimba. Unlike most music games, Wii Music doesn’t make you use complex buttons. You only need to
imitate playing the instrument.
Wii Music offers 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.
Send your band-jam recordings to Wii Friends who have Wii Music. They’ll see your Mii band members,
your players’ improv styles and your instrument selections. They can watch your recordings, or play
over parts of your song, then send their modified recording back to you. Improv jams can be sent
back and forth over WiiConnect24 and changed again and again.
Game Features
- Play it again: Use the playback mode to see your jam recordings brought to life with dramatic
camera angles.
- Pick up the baton: Command an orchestra in the conducting game where you’ll wave the Wii Remote
controller like a conductor’s baton to lead a Mii orchestra through orchestrated music. Make them
play quickly, slowly, strongly or gently.
- Ring a bell? Play a handbells game where you’ll swing your Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to
play your two handbells as part of a larger ensemble. Everyone on the team has a job to do: Play one
of your notes only when the tune demands it.
- An ear for music: Take a tone quiz that tests your musical ear by giving you challenges, like
putting note-playing Miis in order from lowest to highest pitch.
- Bang the drum: Play a virtual drum set in the drumming mode, the one mode in Wii Music that also
uses the Wii Balance Board accessory (sold with Wii Fit). You’ll use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk
controllers as drumsticks, and place both feet on the Wii Balance Board—which work as virtual pedals
for the bass drum and hi-hat cymbal.
