Wii Music gets boxart, slight date change

by Chris Greenhough on Sep 11th 2008 5:27PM

For all the, ahem, polite debate that Wii Music has encouraged, we can probably all agree that it has a nice-looking box. Clean, simple, and to the point: we like it when companies use clutter-free boxart, and Nintendo does this better than most. There's simply no way this could confuse Grandma.

In other Wii Music news, Amazon and GameStop have now both updated their release dates for the ~~game~~ toy: previously, it was due November 3rd, but now both sites display October 20th. A stylish box and a sooner-than-expected launch date -- everybody at GameTrailers will be happy!

is it me or is that "Touch Generations" logo with the wiimote new? i haven't seen it on any other packaging before. does anyone else notice?

Nope, just look at Wii Fit or Forever Blue box Art.

Wha. . . I thought the release date was December 18th

WiFi Connection?

Huh, i knew you could trade "replays" but figured it would go through WiiConnect 24

interesting

and i agree, its pretty boxart for the horrors contained therein

Wifi is for games with online features. Wiiconnect 24 is mostly about channels with online data updating.

Yeah, I would have assumed WiiConnect24 instead as that is generally used for exchanging data like levels, ghosts etc (in games like Super Smash Bros., Elebits, Mario Kart...)

Sorry to be Mr. Disagree here, but I think the boxart is ugly and too extravagant.

I can imagine a much better boxart with the title near the top, the musicians a lot larger near the center, and the instruments and notes coming out of their instruments. That giant music note ruins it for me.

@jpc168, I'm not sure what other games might have this, but both Wii Fit and Big Brain Academy Wii Degree have the Wii Remote in the Touch Generations logo.

Clearly you can't judge a game by it's cover. For instance, this one gives me the impression WiiMusic is fun.

Fun is a broad word, I think it would be fun to play, even once or twice, just no lasting joy due to a lack of purpose or point.

For now I'll just consider it's fun factor as 'Plausible' =]

@MrKhan Think about getting A Mii from the Check Mii Out Channel, something silly lets say The Joker. Imagine him wailing on the dog skin with a big stupid grin BAM! 100 hours of "Fun" And the Cover is a liitle bare and the Miis are too far back

I like this cover. It's bright, colorful, and definitely seems Wii Music-ish.

While I most likely won't be buying this game, I am eager to try it out. Hopefully this will be the demo game at EBGames over the Holiday season.

Go away Wii Music. I don't give 2 craps about you.

With that cover, they've sent me miles away from buying that game.
