Pop 'n Music is one of those arcade games that is just hardcore. I don't have the the ability to focus as well as those people do, so I flounder quickly. But that's partially because I don't get enough practice with it. Thankfully, Konami has come to the rescue, and announced that they're bringing Pop 'n Music to the Wii.
The game is set to launch this Fall with a "variety of original and licensed music," although they don't quite give hints to any of the songs that'll be included -- the only extra info we've got is that there'll be competition and battle modes for you and your friends. Oh, and there's full Mii integration! I bet you're super-excited about that!
Anyways, check out the press release after the jump and the screens in our gallery.

on the serious note, Konami isn't thinking. PnM would easily sell easy. But Needs to be PS2/PS3/360 rather than 360. Not a whole new PnM but more of a greatest hits from the past PnM games we've missed.
and yes....no controller? I won't be surprised if there is none cause they're not cheap.
Does Konami understand that people want the full game and not some stripped down american version? Did they learn from DDR and American beatmania?
So it might not be that dumb a move to go "back to the roots" on the Wii... maybe they're doing that, and maybe, just maybe, they are preparing real PnM games for PS3/360 ;)
Pop'N Music, fucking FINALLY
