Miyamoto unsure about next Zelda announcement

Nintendo says: Wii Music beats playing in snow

Miyamoto still hopeful Wii Music will catch on

Miyamoto: Guitar Hero, Beatmania are 'cover band' titles
Shigeru Miyamoto recently hosted a Wii Music roundtable with a select number of websites and magazines (clearly, our invitation was lost in the mail), in which the great man appeared to insult other music games! Shock! Horror! Headlines! Of course, we understand Miyamoto probably wasn't trying to ...
Wii Music not so much of a joke in Japan
People like to poke fun, but if the Japanese are any indication, Wii Music is going to be serious business. The title debuted at the top spot in Japan this week, selling 92,000 copies. And 50,000 of those copies flew off the shelves on the game's first day at retail! But, doing well in Japan ...
Amazon using Wii Music as a gateway game
Right now, if you buy Wii Music from Amazon, they'll give you a $20 voucher that you can use on video games. To get the obligatory Wii Music joke out of the way, you can buy Wii Music and another game worth $20 and come out with a total of one game for the price of one. The deal is valid until ...
