Nintendo revealed fresh details about the company's upcoming game, Wii Music (tentative title). Wii Music will combine motions and button presses on both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to control a six-member Mii band. Forty instruments will be available in the single- and multiplayer modes. Solo players can either control four band members simultaneously or regulate the computer to the other musicians. The musical content of the game is currently unknown. More Wii Music media can be found here. Nintendo first presented Wii Music at E3 2005, with the demo version allowing gamers to conduct a large orchestra. Although players will still be able to conduct in the game, it is unknown if the large-scale performances will remain. Wii Music is expected to ship in Japan sometime in 2008. A release date for other territories has not been provided. Keep your eyes and ears tuned to The Wiire for all the latest Wii news.
