Rocking the harpsichord in Wii Music

by David Hinkle { Sep 17th 2008 at 4:21PM }

Wii Music's today's instrument campaign has just hit 21 and its latest instrument, the harpsichord, doesn't look all that bad. Forget all of the negativity surrounding the game, because the harpsichord actually looks like an instrument you can have an impact on. The way the model is moving the Wiimote and Nunchuk around, it makes it look like you can have an honest impact on what note you're playing. Hit up the video above to check it out, then brush up on some of the instruments that have already been shown below.

Has anyone noticed that most of the girls demonstrating the Wii Music instruments look bored? I don't mean that as a bash against Wii Music, more of a comment on their marketing.

I might buy Wii Music, it looks like fun, and as some say it does seem a little like a toy, but I still feel as though I (and my four year old son) would have fun with it.

Hey! Good for you! Nice to hear something positive regarding this title instead of just the mean spirited comment.

I don't get it? If some people don't like this game, then so what? Aren't there any other games you don't like? Why get mad or angry about it? Are you mad about the Hanna Montana games too? They seem just as uninteresting to me, but I still don't wish anyone anything but success with them.

I'm not saying this is for me either, but the truth is, I know very little about it. I've been wrong regarding first impressions before on some games, -such as Animal Crossing. It looked really stupid to me, but I ended up loving it. I'll just wait for David Hinkle's review of Wii Music. Good or bad, I'm actually looking forward to finally hear some hands-on impressions of this title. If for no other reason I'm very interested to finally read the reviews.

If I don't like a game, I don't bash it. I don't really care for Pokemon games, but that doesn't mean I would go to a story about them and proclaim them to suck.

It's all a matter of opinion. A lot of people think Carnival Games sucked, I happened to like it. A lot of people like Smash Bros, I didn't really care for it. (Don't hate me for that, it's just my opinion!)

Chalk it up to "something for everyone" on the Wii. :-)

Good for you Wonko!

That's a very reasonable, realistic view point!

If you do get Wii Music I hope you post some comments about it on this site, -good or bad comments! I'd love to hear what you think of it.

The typical Wii Fanboy reader comment:

Insert generic hateful and not fully informed comment regarding this Nintendo title that isn't as funny as I think it is.

Rinse and repeat.

I hate how people still think this is crap:

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Despite what the dude above me says, I am going to fall into line here:

This game just looks terrible! Even at a $20 price tag I would not buy this...what a waste of Nintendo's talents, and our money (because people will buy it.) This is the type of game that will get the Wii/Nintendo mocked.
