Ultimately, it seems Nintendo believes that the best way to get people to understand Wii Music is to have them play it. But in order to reach the best way to get people to do that, Nintendo may have to sacrifice one stance it has held since they released the Wii.

As tradition mandates every year, I sat watching the Nintendo's 2008 E3 presentation with high hopes of a new F-Zero being finally announced. As the presentation moved along, Cammie Dunnaway kept pushing products that were clearly not targeted at me and my generation of core gamers, bought up in the mean streets of 8- and 16-Bits. No harm there, since Nintendo's and the late great Satoru Iwata's new vision of "games for everyone" meant that there was a whole new audience to whom Nintendo had to push product presentations. I understood that, and was feeling positive because surely there had to be some sort of killer app being shown at the end of the presentation, right?
I couldn’t help but be surprised when I began noticing (from time to time) patterns in the way music is used within games. The following short list of game soundtrack stereotypes and patterns are by no means the result of a scientific process, but I do think it would be interesting to dip the metaphorical toe in the water and start this discussion!
I was expecting an article about the entire industry. This is sort of the norm for these types of games though.
a blog... this is such great news.. (/sarcasm)
