Wii Music sales were lower than expected, Miyamoto may be interested in Wii Music expansion
November 16th, 2009 Posted in News, Wii, Written by Valay“I think it sold lower than our expectations but on the other hand it was a really unique game, I have to say. And also, even today, we are receiving several different offers from people in the field of music education, so as far as Wii Music is concerned, I think is still has great potential. And in the future there might be some developments. We may want to think about the possibility of making some improvements, based upon the original Wii Music. Unfortunately we don’t have any news we can talk about at the moment. But like Wii Fit Plus, it’s not really a sequel to the original Wii Fit – but we have added some features to improve the overall experience. It’s a kind of an enhanced version of the original Wii Fit…” – Shigeru Miyamoto
I don’t think Wii Music was a terrible game – It just missed the mark in a few places. On the other hand, if the developers could touch up the game and address a few complaints (and add in some additional Nintendo music!), then I’d be all for something like Wii Music Plus.

Honestly Valay, I bought “Wii Music” and I liked it, but it got stale fast.They should do away with the “Midi” sounds and add more Nintendo music(like you said).
It wouldn’t hurt for them to make a career mode(kind of like Guitar hero) and better online connectivity(Wifi jamming!).
If Nintendo makes Wii music “really good”, all those “Guitar hero and Rockband” games will die because you won’t need too buy expensive plastic instrument because you can use the Wiimote and nunchuck as your instrument.

Well to be honest its rubbish and boring.A new Zelda or Fzero or something like that would have sold a lot better…

I personally wouldn’t mind an expansion to the Wii Music series; as long as Nintendo doesn’t abandon it! And yes the issue is having a better song selection! Plus I still yet need to get Wii Music anyway! Also btw; I still hate all of those anti-Wii Music haters out there!
