Wii Music keeps on trucking

You know that intro movie in Rock Band, where all of the rocking types are jamming out on top of a speeding car, all XTREME-like (click here to jog your memory)? We guess this is Nintendo's take on the thing, as Wii Music's truck-riding, world-rocking ensemble very much resembles that, at least in our mind. Just, you know, Nintendo's take is a bit more pleasant and a lot less full of leather-clad individuals rocking the desert.
For a more traditional trailer of the gang rocking out an honest-to-goodness venue, cruise past the break.

Wii Music continues to impress me... I know its not a "game" I'm going to play by myself, but this game is looking like pure multiplayer fun. Like rockband without the skill. Im excited

Excited, really?

Ha yea kinda. Im looking forward to looking like an idiot with my friends playing the dog suit or the famicom. I think its gonna be fun to butcher classic songs in Wii Music. Maybe now I can hear some of my favourite songs in obscure timing. The legend of zelda in 7/8 time signature? Im down.

lol, those palm trees give new meaning to the term "pop-in"

Game actually looks decent, aside from the shitty soundtrack.

What!? You're #1 GHWT/RB DLC pick isn't "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"?

I'm just pissed off that they're performing The Blue Danube in 4/4. That's not right :(

I don't know, they actually made Joyful, Joyful sound pretty rockin'
kinda highlights the creative aspects of it. Could make this game the ultimate remixer.

I think if they'd announced it as a "compendium of silliness" as it appears to be now, I would have been more interested. I am more interested.

Truckin', hear the shamisen
Playin' on her violin
Together with a drum of mine
And just keep truckin' oOOooON.
