WiiMusic is chockfull of all the instruments you'd expect to be available for waggling your Wiimote to, as well as a few other 'instruments' that you absolutely didn't expect. While the full hands-on report will be arriving to the site a little later on, I figured I'd whet your appetite for what's to come by introducing WiiMusic's Puppy Suit instrument. Available amidst the harmony options, the Puppy Suit is, well, your Mii wearing a Puppy Suit. Making puppy sounds. Oh yeah.
But what is a Puppy Suit? Where did it come from? How on earth does it make music? Take a look at the above video (sorry for the loud showroom noise in the back) and then hit the jump to hear more about this musical furry costume and a special explanation of the instrument by yours truly to the puppy loving Chad Concelmo!
When choosing the Puppy Suit as your harmony instrument in WiiMusic, the Wiimote and the nunchuck become your large, plushy puppy hands. By moving them in front of you, your Mii will emit tiny puppy yelps. It's ridiculous, and adorable, to hear the Super Mario Bros Puppy remix, but it feels kind of weird to 'play' the suit when you're just pawing at thin air.
You'll also notice in the video the option to use turntables and beat boxing as instruments. Fancy huh! I get a little more in depth about those when explaining my experiences to Chad in the video bleow:

Currently, my stance on this is cautious optimism. It could be interesting, but the tracklist may very well be a turn-off.
p.s. Since I'm commenting already, that drummer at the press conference has either never played drums before, or Wii Music isn't responsive enough to relay any actual rhythm.
like someone said in the video: ridicolous.
on a side note, I'm sure this suit will make Wii Music sell another million copies more than it was previously thought.
Pray Nintendo tweaks this damn game before it comes out. God knows all the negative coverage ought to be enough for them to take it back to the drawing board.
Granted, this doesn't make me any less excited about what looks like the best wii game since Boogie (yeah!).
Also... For some weird reason watching your two laugh made me laugh.
Why????
We <3 Chad's awesome facepalm! For Serious! <3
<3 Spread trher luv
Love the vids Tiff!
Actually I think they said he was a professional drummer so I did a little googling here is his site and has some decent embedded sound. http://www.ravidrums.com/index.html
While I'm still not looking forward to the title, I remain optimistic that it may surprise me in the end.
i don't understand the mario paint comparison people seem to keep making.
I think people are refering to the Jam session like feature like were the Ravi guy actually seemed to be making everything happen(even if it didn't sound that great). And if this game has that feature for all instrument were you could actually make music like Jam Sessions on DS. It could possibly be to music what Mario Paint was to drawing. But I don't know this game will pull that off right. We can only wait and see but so far I am a bit underwhelmed by it.
This game is going to suck so badly.
Can't...resist...cute...puppies
I'm not saying one could never have fun with the game, but anyone who considers themselves a real gamer should be at least slightly offended by this game. It's like being a cinema buff and staring down the barrel of a dozen Zac Effrons.
...though I'm not quite sure what kind of sound a Tanooki Suit would make....still...
Clearly the people going ape shit for the maracas game are not the same people bagging on this game. Both seem pretty shitty to me.
Were you on weed on that video?
But wow, i wouldn't pay 50 bucks for this game... i'm not sure if i would pay for it at all.
woowoowoof woowoowoof
woof woof woof
Also, playing Legend of Zelda Theme with lazer noises is fucking sweet. Pew pew!
I would rather they just re-make Mario Paint for Wii than have this thing. Please?
It seems you'r now at the Famitsu site in their coverage of Wii Music. You seem pretty happy there, maybe you were just watching the puppy suit!!!
Oh, and the video is so awesome, you both made me laugh so much guys, so keep the hard work done Destructoiders!
BUT HAY. ONE STEP CLOSER TO BECOMING FAMOUS IN JAPAN !_!
