Wii Warm Up: Rhythm-based downloads

by David Hinkle on May 28th 2008 8:00AM

The news that Helix would be gracing WiiWare got us to thinking about other rhythm-based titles on the download service. It seems like all the competition gets the love when it comes to the genre. Steam has Audiosurf. Xbox Live has Rez. Even iTunes has Phase. Guess we'll see if Helix becomes the Wii's killer music-based title ...

But, we digress. Aside from the obvious (uh, Rez), what music-based game would you like to see available for download on WiiWare? Any of the ones listed above? A different franchise? Lay it on us!

Definatly Audiosurf, I love it on the PC but playing with the Wiimote on a comfy couch and big tv/enertainment system would rock. It would definatly need sd-card support so you can load your own tunes.

Definitely Audiosurf. Using the Wiimote's sensors in order to navigate the courses. Maybe use the SD cards to let people use their own music in the game, just like with the PC version? That'd be awesome.

I would love a Donkey Konga or Taiko Drum Master game that would use the remotes. I realize that the DK Racing game was garbage, but just because Wiimotes-as-(virtual bongos)-as-(jet engines) didn't work, doesn't mean that Wiimotes-as-(virtual bongos) can't work.
