Wii Music- New E3 Details: Air Drums!

Wii Music was shown at E3 just a couple of minutes ago, and frankly it looks awesome! They started off by showing of some air drumming. You use the Wii-mote and Nunchuck as your very own drumsticks and the Wii balance board as a bass foot pedle. This system seems to work quite well and looks like it'll give rock band and Guitar Hero a run for their money.

After the drum solo had ended, Shigeru Miyamoto walked onto the stage, playing a 'saxaphone'. He did this by holding the wiimote to his mouth, recorder style, and used the buttons on the wii-mote.

Wii Music will appeal to all gamers. There are over 50 different instruments that you can play by just moving your body. All you have to do is hold the Wii-remote and move your hands in the way you would with a real intstrument. For example, you can play a violon by simply using the nunchuck and its buttons as the neck and strings and the wii-remote as the stick. There are a variety of percussion instruments, and you can even play a guitar how you would really play it in real life...

Or did I imagine that all you need to do to play music was wave the Wiimote's, press buttons and tap the balance board and the game will interpret the correct song notes and play it for you? So, another way to put it is...wave the wand around crazy like and press buttons and the game will make you sound cool.

The drumz do respond on your movement, rest is a bit swinging around to play a note louder.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos17d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Strange headline, as I thought the star of the show was Super RType. I almost bought RType Dimensions EX this last month and was just thinking, man I wish we had the SNES one somewhere on Switch. That's where I got my start w the series and I was beyond excited to see it drop this week!
