Wii Music: Harpsichord Beats Dog

After the recent “dog” demonstration from Nintendo, I had to say that my hopes for Wii Music were all but dashed upon the rocks of my sanity. There’s no way on the lord’s green earth that you would catch me playing a dog instrument.

However, the new Harpsichord demonstration definitely looks promising. Beyond just waggling and dongling, the player looks to be totally engaging with the instrument in a realistic way, without paying $200 for a box full of goofy plastic peripherals. Cool stuff. Maybe I can play the wicked riff from “In My Life” by the Beatles.

  1. Why dont they just go ahead and make real live concerts using the wii.

    It’s bound to happen soon by the way they are milking the music peripherals XD

  2. Ok, everyone stop hating on the dog. =P

    I don’t know how you guys all see this, but as a musician, I couldn’t be more excited.

    Eddy, you hit the nail right on the head when you said “the player looks to be totally engaging with the instrument in a realistic way”

    If I may be so kind as to slightly revisit the previous game vs. toy argument in the WTF dog post, I would have to say that it’s a toy. But, it’s a toy that you play games with.

    Regardless, I’m pumped.
