Tune up your Wii-mote for conducting fun, strum yourself a tune, and blow your own trumpet into the bargain.
New information on Nintendo's upcoming Wii Music title has surfaced today, including details on what instruments to expect, and how to control them.
The game play style is reportedly based on a title called Play Sessions, and the music players will be waving their Wii-motes to will be harvested from Nintendo's vast repertoire of game themes, as well as featuring some original tunes to work through.
The current information has said that there'll be more than 40 instruments to perform your symphonies on, such as marimbas, trumpets, guitars, and drums. Each instrument will have its own control style as well - for instance, the angle and position of the Wii-mote will affect the pitch and strength of a trumpet, guitars use the C button on the Nunchuk as a plectrum, and drums are played by two controllers, with possibly two Wii-motes being used.
The Wii-mote can also be used to conduct a band of up to six musicians, of which up to four can be player-controlled. Performances can also be recorded and replayed should players feel the need to show off, or just listen back to their musical masterpieces.
No release date has been set for any region at this point, however, but it is expected to orchestrate its way onto shelves sometime this year.
