Nintendo Sets to challenge 'Rock Band' and 'Guitar Hero'

Contributed By: Dan Schwartz Created On: Wednesday, 16 July 2008 Hits: 91 Nintendo Wii Nintendo has revealed a new game for its flagship Wii console that is expected to challenge the dominance of existing music games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Wii Music allows users to interact with over 50 instruments – including drum kits and saxophones – using their Wii remote control. The demonstration, made at the E3 games conference in Los Angeles, came after Nintendo announced details of a new hyper-sensitive remote for the Wii console. The Wii MotionPlus will add greater sensitivity to game-playing, paving the way for more complex music simulation games in the future. Many of the announcements from the worlds leading games manufacturers at this week's convention have focussed heavily on music. 'Wii Music' is set to be released later in 2008.
