I know that people in my demographic (18-30) will view this video with very cynical eyes. Most people around the internet have been making the same statements, “proof that Nintendo is for the kids now”, “Miyamoto looked akward up there”.
When I saw it, my reaction was different. It actually made me smile, to see Nintendo branch out and maybe accept that Wii Music, and some other games on the Wii are for kids. There’s nothing wrong with that, as children should have more quality games geared towards them.
Seeing this video reminds me of why most of us love to play video games in the first play. It brings us back to that feeling of enjoyment that our NES’s and Ataris gave us all those years ago (or maybe more current systems for you youngsters).
I for one will not be buying Wii Music. I’ll probably rent it just to try it out, but the gameplay doesn’t really look up my alley. But do we need to keep harping on the same issues that so many people in the press, and gamers in general have been whining about since the Nintendo Wii was released?
Anyway, here’s the video so you can come up with your own opinions about it. Either way I’d like to hear your thoughts on it.
