A delightful little documentary vid over on GameVideos sees Shigeru Miyamoto demonstrating Wii Music to a group of young Japanese schoolchildren. Predictably, they absolutely love it.
Joined by the man who does the voice of KK Slider in Animal Crossing, Miyamoto revels in showing off his creation to an appreciative audience (he’s probably thinking “finally!”) and it’s difficult not to smile when you see the kids waving the controllers around like crazy, making music that doesn’t actually sound entirely tuneless like the sort of thing you hear when young ‘uns are learning musical instruments. Then Miyamoto and chums perform a decent rendition of the Super Mario Bros. theme and have a laugh with the handbell-ringing minigame.
All good-natured fun, and a bit of a tonic if you’re feeling miserable about Nintendo’s Christmas line-up. Unless you’re a total Scrooge, you’ll surely be pleased that they’re at least making someone happy this Yuletide, eh?
