Wii Music marching towards the UK

As brilliant as Nintendo’s Wii Sports is, it’s been out for yonks, and even the most patient of gamers will find it starting to drag. If you’re looking for a game to get that casual gaming fix back with a tuneful twist, then get your diaries out – Wii Music is waltzing over to UK shores next month.

Unlike the recent craze of music games which require you to push buttons along to the music, Wii Music sees you simply swinging the Wiimote and Nunchuk along as you would play an instrument in a Mii band, with up to four players competing simultaneously in a bid to stick closest to the rhythm. Given the popularity of Wii Fit, expect this to be a sell out upon a release on November 14.

Play everything from the violin and the sitar to, er, the cowbell. Moooo.
