While Nintendo has yet to release the complete track list for Wii Music, expected to feature some 50 tunes, Variety simply popped open the game manual and plucked out a list of credited, licensed music. (All 14 tracks are listed after the break.) It might not "rock," but hey, props to Nintendo for almost getting a Beatles song in the game -- John Lennon's ode to Yoko is close enough, right?
Licensed Wii Music:
- "Chariots of Fire" (theme) - Vangelis
- "Daydream Believer" - made famous by The Monkees
- "Every Breath You Take" - Sting
