Wii Fanboy Review: Battle of the Bands
While the current reigning music games, Rock Band and Guitar Hero, contain some great music, they're really defined by their controllers. People bought Guitar Hero because of its gimmicky guitar controller -- many purchasers no doubt didn't even know or care what music was included. Rock Band's big ...
Widget of the Bands
We might not be getting Wii game demos any time soon, but if you want to sample the rhythm game Battle of the Bands, you can try out a widget that simulates THQ's recently released Wii software. Of course, we'd have to hope that the Wii game controls much, much better than this keyboard-utilizing d...
Joystiq impressions: Battle of the Bands (Wii)
THQ's under-the-radar Wii game, Battle of the Bands is coming out this month. I recently saw the game in action, and I finally have a grasp on its concept. Thankfully renamed from Band Mashups, Battle of the Bands pits two gamers against each other in a Wiimote-only rhythm competition. As Guitar Her...

Then the "Latin" version kicked in and we figured it out -- i...

Gamefly is listing an upcoming Wii game from THQ called Battle of the Bands. Since THQ's Band Mashups is a game about ... battles of bands, we're guessing that this is an alternate title for the same product. Further evidence of this theory: the page links to Gamespot's and IGN's galleries of Band...
THQ announces Band Mashups, Wii exclusive rhythm game for April
Never let it be said that publisher THQ is opposed to trying new things. Sure, the studio may have more than a passing fancy with licenses the way most of us appreciate oxygen, but the studio has been known to come up with an original idea now and again -- before summarily slitting its throat. THQ...
Band Mashups remixes the music game
This is how you do new take on a Guitar Hero/Bemani game. Smarty Pants developer Planet Moon has just revealed their encouragingly clever music game Band Mashups, which focuses on the concept of the "battle of the bands." Each band in Mashups represents a different genre of music: country, marchi...
