So....
I played Wii Music tonight. Had dinner at my sister's place and my nephew was begging me to play it after dinner. basically, you waggle in rhythm, then score yourself. that's right-- no points, you decide how well you did! There are some modes where you waggle in time and the game tells you how well you did, but they are simplistic as hell. Except Maestro mode, which gives you no indication of how well you're doing, then tells you that you failed. :lol: I guess the point of the game is that you waggle in rhythm or else it sounds bad. but the waggle detection is so bad, like it is for all wii games, that it registers to late and inserts an off beat note anyway...this will happen 1000 times a song.
Look people, we have our fights and our arguments over this version, that version, this game, that game, but none of them, NONE, not even barely playable NES games, are as bad as Wii Music. This is Nintendo testing how low they can go.
The problem is that my nephew was so into it. He's 10 and I think this is his last hurrah before he begins to slowly realize that the world is kind of a mean bitch, so I played along. Of course, his age is no excuse, since my 8 year old niece was saying things like "what's the point of this game, you don't even do anything!" and "I want to kill Tutu!" (or whoever the tutorial guy is.) It was pretty hilarious, since she was saying exactly what I was thinking.
(and I'll be cross posting this to other places, I wanna see what gaf's reaction is...not to troll, but bigger forum, etc. etc. comes with bonus narrative flourishes)
