Go! Cool! Pretty! Wii Music's cheerleader in action

by Chris Greenhough { Sep 16th 2008 at 2:30PM }

Nintendo is at it again, stretching the definition of "instrument" to breaking point. Today's Wii Music instrument is the Cheerleader, though it could just as easily be called Excitable Human Being. It works by punching the air with your Wiimote and Nunchuk, and creates the kind of sounds last heard from the mouth of our favorite intergalactic news reporter. Oh, and before you start mocking this, don't forget that some companies are building entire games around this one "instrument."

I was just on youtube looking at wii music instrument videos! Every thirteen year old stupid little shit comments saying the game is gonna suck. They think its only a core game if its filled with blood, aliens and makes you feel special below the pants you probably dont were . I am sick of these assholes who run thier mouths off. The only reason i rant here is because this is the ONLY place where i wouldn't be replied to with a "The wii iz onnnly for stooped kidz" and a "U suk"
