News: More music for the Wii.



THQ has announced they are developing a new music game, Band Mashups, for the Wii. The game is currently scheduled for a release this April. With the recent Major Minor's Majestic March by Majesco it is certainly beginning to look like the Wii is the place to be for quirky music titles.

Band Mashups will require gamers to mash together five different musical styles (rock, funk/hip-hop, country, marching band and Latin) with the Wii Remote to win "the ultimate band battle."

Other details include:

Band Mashups is the first time a musical УmashupФ game has been delivered on Wii, allowing players to battle it out with their preferred musical style. Band Mashups features both an exciting two player versus mode and an extensive single-player campaign where players take on the role of one of eleven bands trying to topple the nefarious big boss Mr. Hong and take control of the faraway city of New Cadenza. Band Mashups introduces the innovative concept of Уmusic switching,Ф putting the player winning the battle in control of the style of music both players hear. When an opponent turns the tide of battle, the music changes as well, switching between different music styles. Band Mashups features 30 classic and modern chart-topping hits from over the last four decades, all of which have been recorded in five different styles - (rock, funk/hip-hop, country, Latin and marching band) - for the game, resulting in a total of 150 unique, playable recordings.




"Band Mashups takes an innovative approach to the rhythm/action genre by blending music and combat in the ultimate battle of the bands,Ф said Randy Shoemaker, global brand director, THQ. УUsing a rhythm based game-play mechanic, the game delivers 70 over-the-top musical weapons and utilizes the Wii Remote's functionality to deliver a completely original musical combat experience. Fighting with a sniper violin or flamethrower guitar is something gamers should definitely look forward to.Ф

We'll have more on Band Mashups soon.
