As tradition mandates every year, I sat watching the Nintendo's 2008 E3 presentation with high hopes of a new F-Zero being finally announced. As the presentation moved along, Cammie Dunnaway kept pushing products that were clearly not targeted at me and my generation of core gamers, bought up in the mean streets of 8- and 16-Bits. No harm there, since Nintendo's and the late great Satoru Iwata's new vision of "games for everyone" meant that there was a whole new audience to whom Nintendo had to push product presentations. I understood that, and was feeling positive because surely there had to be some sort of killer app being shown at the end of the presentation, right?

I couldn’t help but be surprised when I began noticing (from time to time) patterns in the way music is used within games. The following short list of game soundtrack stereotypes and patterns are by no means the result of a scientific process, but I do think it would be interesting to dip the metaphorical toe in the water and start this discussion!
I was expecting an article about the entire industry. This is sort of the norm for these types of games though.
A recent patent discovered by NeoGAF user Rosti suggests that Nintendo might be working on a follow-up to Wii Music for the Wii U.
because it sold surprisingly well and with next gen improvements plus what they could improve/add to it, it has the potential to do just as well if not better.
Man, this better not get a lot of screen time at the digital event, if at all.
Nah, couldn't be. What new IP takes this many years to develop? Certainly not a Wii Music game.
Hence the "Just Kidding" at the end. But he made the first one didn't he? It's not impossible.
I would certainly hope it isn't happening. What a letdown that would be if it was Miyamoto's next game...
Nooooooooooo
Acually, Wii Music wasn't THAT bad, it just wasn't very good either...and the way they presented it at E3...*shudders*
Whatever, as long as it's like a 30 sec announcement it's ok. Maybe they are trying to bring Guitar Hero/Rock Band esque music games back....
awww yish my body is Reggie ( /sarcasm )
If they add in piano rolls/score editor. Mixing capabilities it could probably a fun non-game type of thing.
It would be mario paint all over again, but instead of youtube it's just officially from Nintendo.
