Nintendo have launched a new game at this year's E3 Media And Business Summit to rival the popular 'Guitar Hero' and Rock Band' franchises. The new game, which will reach shops later this year and is called 'Wii Music', will allow players to use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers on their Wii consoles to simulate over 60 different musical instruments and allow up to four players to form their own band. It seems to be more about improvisation than its competitors, giving users the chance to put their own spin on the available songs. Watching the demonstration video (linked below), it's not clear whether 'Wii Music' will feature the big name music tie-ins that have made 'Guitar Hero' and 'Rock Band' so popular. At the moment, it would appear not. Instead, you'll have the opportunity to play along with slightly rubbish-sounding traditional tunes and Nintendo themes.
