Guitar Hero World Tour for Wii sells more than other console versions – UPDATE
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
Update: The numbers initially reported were incorrect. NPD has clarified that the Xbox 360 version of World Tour actually sold a bit more than the Wii edition.
NPD numbers last night showed that Guitar Hero World Tour failed to reach the top 10 software sales for October. There may be a bright spot for Activision, however, or at least as far as the Wii version goes. Even though the game sold 534,000 copies across all platforms – which is a respectable number in itself – 183,000 units of the Wii version were purchased by gamers. This figure is actually more than what the PS3 and 360 numbers of World Tour sold, which may give third-parties something to consider in the future.

Malls Nationwide Feature Wii Music Street Performers
Live musical performances have always been a fun part of the holidays. This year, Nintendo will be making spirits bright at family destinations and retail locations across the country with bands of street performers demonstrating Wii Music™.
Now through the end of the month, the family trio of music-makers will entertain shoppers by turning the Wii console into a musical instrument with Wii Music, the new music game from Nintendo. Wii Music contains more than 50 songs and lets players use more than 60 different instruments to make their music, from melodic steel drums to soaring trumpets. To play, players simply use the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers to make the same motions they would with a real instrument: Strum a guitar or pound the keys of a piano. The game challenges players to transform improvised notes into great music, while enabling the freedom to customize your song, instrument, genre, tempo and stage.

Update for the Nintendo Channel available
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Mini-update: Okay, here is the official description of the update from Nintendo…
“An update that provides a behind-the-scenes enhancement to the Nintendo Channel was made available.”
To be honest, I do not notice any significant changes other than the channel’s slightly modified presence on the Wii Menu. As of now, there is no scrolling text to show some of the updates to the channel. Nintendo works in mysterious ways though, so perhaps they’ve added something that I may have missed. Keep in mind that this update is a mandatory download if you wish to access the Nintendo Channel from here on out. Oh, and no – There are no Wii demos on the channel. Sorry folks!
