Miyamoto Explains Why The World Needs 'Wii Music'

With the big press conferences at E3 over, Stephen does a quick wrap up for MTV News of what each company had to show. After a quick run though of the highlights from Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony, Mr. Totilo offers a little bit of insight into who's "winning" E3, and asks the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto about "Wii Music."

The world doesn't need a "game" where you basically do nothing in the assumption that you're playing music. You wanna hear music? Get a radio. You wanna play music? Learn an instrument.

i dont understand this concept, you play an instrument (kinda) and you dont have to worry about timing or rhytm or right notes to be hit....

So all you do is press buttons and wave your arms around like an idiot? Is that the point of this game?

No, you actually decide when the note can be heard.
This causes variation.

Also this is one mode, looking at some other screens you can see there is a rhythm mode.

Stop being goddamn ignorant. Wii Music is far from shovelware. That doesn't mean it'll be good, or that it looks interesting, though...

That bastard Stephen didn't even say that Sony officially announced God of War 3.

Anyways, What's the point of Wii Music if you can't loose? There is no challenge in a video game at all if it's not possible to mess up. What drives people to play video games over and over again is the challenge to do better and achieve more goals. Video games would become boring if it wasn't possible to loose in my opinion.

Wii Music must be for a game for Babies or something because a baby will be amused just by looking at the screen while wildy flinging the Wii Mote around.

Look i love miyamoto as much as most nintendo fans , but what part of it isnt shovelware ?

It plainly use Mii , isnt even a proper game with nothing to loose or win , and can be done all the same with people doing air guitar , piano or banjo ...

Without challenge whatsoever there is no video game , i dont see how else to call of but shovelware , and thats because i want to stay polite . I have no doubt non gamers will buy it and make it explodes charts , but its pure crap from the current info .
