Back then, Wii was codenamed Revolution, and Sony, with PS3 months from release, still dominated the game market. Today, the situation is very different, so much so that we hardly bat an eyelid when Miyamoto says: 'To tell the truth, I have this big ambition for Wii Music, that it can eventually be something so influential that it might be able to influence what music means in the world.'"

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.
"When I’m making something I think in terms of my own family, and always imagine how my entire family can enjoy it together."
There ya go...and people claimed his games were hardcore...LOL.
So just wondering, the word "hardcore" is stupid isn't it?
The stupid stuff about NINTENDO WAS HARDCORE! NOW THEY ARE SELL OUTS.
They ABANDONED US BHWAAAAA BHWAAAA XD.
*laughs out loud*
I even pointed this out and yet people called me a wii-fanboy...and here it is...coming from the man himself.
Wii Music blows, but Miyamoto is THE man.
Can't wait to see his next AAA game, which will be Pikmin 3 for sure.
You will not say that when you see how awesome Pikmin 3 is going to be. Believe me.
