==Suggestions for Article Improvement==
EBGames.com has this title for pre-order with a release date of March 30 2007. Should we consider this to be convincing evidence of a North American release? --[[User:Billdorr|Billdorr]] 05:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm really interested in improving this article, so I've put together a checklist of things that could be done:
<strike>
*'''Gameplay'''
** Information on the game controls. The controls in this game are really unique, and I think that some elaboration on the gestures required to use the instruments are important, but it shouldn't be over the top and entering the realm of game guide material.
** How Jam Mode works. This section doesn't really detail how arranging a song works, and the game's interface is already enigmatic to many people. Expanding this section should help more people understand how the game works. The "List of Songs" should simply be integrated into this section and not as a subsection. Mention of implementation of various styles, like March and Hawaiian, is a plus.
** Minigames. Much of this seems like Original Research, so a few sources are required. The list format ought to be dropped altogether and rewritten as a few paragraphs.</strike>
The above was added to the article. --[[User:ThomasO1989|ThomasO1989]] ([[User talk:ThomasO1989|talk]]) 05:28, 5 June 2011 (UTC)


*'''Development'''
== UK TV advert ==
**Pre-development, like initial ideas and motives
***One of the four original games designed by Miyamoto and given top priority for the Wii
***Miyamoto's desire to "bring the joy of playing music to people who have never played an instrument"
***http://www.next-gen.biz/features/miyamoto-unplugged?page=0%2C1
**The actual development process, like experiments performed and any changes made to the design
**Staff opinion on the development process
*'''Reception'''
**Impressions of the E3 2006 and 2008 demos.
**The game's criticism outside reviews is a big one, especially from IGN.
**Nintendo/Miyamoto's response to the reception
**Very positive reception to the game should be highlighted, as it is arguably rare.


These are some key things I like to add to the article. If any new ones come up, I'll add them to the list. --[[User:ThomasO1989|ThomasO1989]] ([[User talk:ThomasO1989|talk]]) 17:08, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
I've just seen my first Wii tv advert here in Britain, and it's pretty clearly using '''Wii Music''' as a basis. The ad simply shows two hands, each holding a remote, drumming, conducting the orchestra, etc, culminating in bringing the remotes together for a cymbal crash. It's definitely two remotes too, and not a remote and a nunchuk. How the actual game will compare to this ad remains to be, but I thought it worth mentioning anyway.

== Music section ==

There should be an intro paragarph at the top of this section. Currently It doesnt say anything about what this song is. I assume it is a confirmed song to be in the game but an intro is still needed. [[User:Mattyatty|Mattyatty]] 18:31, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

==TGS 2005==
If you saw the video were the Wiimote was first unveiled on TGS 2005, you can very clearly tell that they are playing Wii Music. Why did they remove the TGS 2005 section in the history section? [[User:Willy105|Willy105]] 01:58, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

== Updated release dates ==

ign.com now shows release dates as:
US: October 2007
Japan: December 31, 2007

Not sure if I should edit this directly, and the list_of_wii_games page. There are several other games due out this year that also recently gained more specific info for their release dates.

== Most likely online ==

While it still need to be confirmed, it looks like Wii Music may have some sort of Online part to it:

== Contradiction? ==

"Unlike other music games, Wii Music does not require the player to press certain buttons at certain times but only requires the player to move the Wii Remote and Nunchuk like they were playing the instruments. "

"The gameplay itself is timing based. Players have to time button presses with notes. The controls vary depending on the instrument.[13]" <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/193.131.2.146|193.131.2.146]] ([[User talk:193.131.2.146|talk]]) 09:43, 14 October 2008 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

There is in fact still a problem with the quote you mention above (the top one); it is an inaccurate description to say that the game only requires that you move the controllers as if you are playing an instrument. The statement is partially true for some instruments insofar as you may play without hitting any buttons, however: (1) every instrument in the game, without exception, also uses buttons that allow you to produce different results than mere motion, ie., playing chords, muting the strings, or bending a note on a guitar-like instrument; and (2) many instruments require button pressing in order to produce any sound whatsoever, and these include all the horn-like instruments as well as the bow instruments. There is actually a great deal of button pressing involved in playing the game, yet it is also always combined with motion of some sort. The statement needs to be revised, for at present it is factually inaccurate and highly misleading.

In fact, the sentence starts off by pointing to the unique quality of the game (that it is not about a matter of merely hitting buttons at the right time), but then veers off and seems to suggest that the way Wii Music breaks this mold is merely by adding motion. These are two separate issues -- it breaks the mold of mindless button-pressing by allowing the player to have a great deal of freedom in how the song is played, by adding, suspending, delaying the notes and creating a new variation on the theme. It also uses motion in every control scheme, but this is separate from its break with gameplay based only on timing accuracy. In other words, it differs from other music games in its freedom of play and its motion controls, but these are different aspects entirely, and not even dependent on one another.

How does this game use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection? I know the logo is on the box art and the official website, but in the previews I've read only about the video sharing which uses WiiConnect24. -[[User:Zomic13|Zomic13]] ([[User talk:Zomic13|talk]]) 02:40, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
