Nintendo Unveils Latest Wii Innovation
The sound of trumpets, the clash of cymbals and the thunder of drums herald the launch of Wii Music. Just as Wii Sports attracted millions of new players to the world of video games, and Wii Fit showed people that fitness could be fun, Wii Music is made to create a whole new genre in video games, one that lets players have fun experimenting with music as they strive to produce fun, masterful arrangements. "Music is a universal language that inspires and moves people," says Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. To play each instrument, players use the motion-sensing abilities of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers to mimic the real-life motions of instruments: bow a violin, strike a vibraphone or pluck a sitar.
