Nintendo’s biggest reveal at the end of Yesterday’s E3 press conference was the announcement of Wii Music, a super casual, family-friendly approach to what’s surely become one of the hottest genres in the industry. Miyamoto himself demonstrated the game, which has players mimicking the motions of over 50 different instruments without the usual pressure of note charts or complex actions.
Nintendo is really going for “everyone can play” accessibility here, according to the press release:
“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 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.
The game makes use of the Wiimote, Balance board, and nunchuk controls, and includes a very cool playback mode wherein players can make music videos and share them with other Wii Music gamers. There are other modes that sound much like minigames, like the drumming mode and pitch tests, and a bell-ringing multiplayer game.
It all looks very fun, but for someone weaned on music games like Guitar Hero and DDR, Wii Music will probably feel a bit shallow. We’ll see this Holiday, when the title arrives in stores.

Ummm… I guess the writer is a casual gamer. You should check up on the backlash regarding WiiMusic. Definately not "E3’s biggest game." In fact, it was probably the worst thing Nintendo did at the conference, which speaks volumes considering how crappy it was in the first place. It was embarrasing.
I hate to throw this stereotype card into the mix, but considering the writer of this article, "Danielle Riendeau," is female, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I bet my grandma would also think WiiMusic is the greatest game at E3.
