Wii Music is a free-form music game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii. The game was released in Japan and North America in October 2008, and in Europe and Australia in the following month.

Bad Qualities

1. Most of the songs are from the public domain, such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Carmen."
2. You cannot customize your Mii's voice on the singing instrument, there are only two available voices and they depend on the gender.
   • The singer is extremely high pitched and also does not sing the song, it is literally treated as an instrument, and just says words such as do, la, and Wii.
   • However, even with this, the singing is still quite decent.
3. You cannot create your own songs. While you can make your own tune, you cannot name a song nor can you name the band that makes it.
4. In the game Mii Maestro/Open Orchestra, it is hard to make the song sound perfect, so your best option for a good score is to go as fast as you can (this does not work with "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star") however it is difficult to put the wii remote down every millisecond.
5. It is not much of a game at all, as there is no challenge to it.
6. Pitch Perfect is way too hard for someone who does not understand how music notes work, and for someone who does, it is really easy.
7. The game can get really boring after a while.

Good Qualities

1. There are a lot of good instruments, such as the singer, the NES horn, etc.
   • Many of the instruments are also extremely humorous, such as the rapper, the cheerleader, the beatboxer, the dog, the cat, etc.
2. In addition to above, the game can be really fun if you take it as a joke.
3. It is actually quite good as an application - it is just not much of a game.
4. As mentioned on BQ#4, Open Orchestra can be more fun and easier if you go fast.
5. The music actually sounds somewhat decent, especially with the female singer.
   • In addition, the Miis' performance of "I'll Be There" is arguably better than the original.

Reception

The game received mixed reviews from critics, as such, it is regarded as the black sheep of the Wii series and is also one of the least commercially successful entries, selling 2.65 million copies worldwide as of March 2009. It has been used to recreate songs, thus becoming a meme.^{[citation needed]}
