You may remember reading about the upcoming musical title
Symphonic Orchestra for the Wii a few days ago. This video gives us a lot more information about a similiar title,
Nodame Cantibile: Dream Orchestra, which allows you to play a variety of instruments using your Wii controller to act out the motions, including the oboe, flute, timpani, piano and more.
Before you get excited about having all of your friends over to stage a symphony in your living room, allow me to be the bearer of bad tidings: this sucker is region locked and only being released in Japan. Surprise, right? It looks like the kind of thing that the Japanese scream unintelligible exclamations over.
I think it could be a lot of fun for American audiences as well though, so let's hope we get to see something so innovative on US shores, whether it's Nodame Cantibile or something equally unique.

amen. lol
CantAbile!
Why the certainty that this title won't see a release outside of Japan?
too much inno.. vationnnn
cause it has a beaver.
Depends how tight the controls are and what musical pieces were chosen.
Ultimately though a title like this is killed through lack of DLC. I mean, what does it cost to license a classical music piece? Oh, that's right, ZERO because they're public domain.
The Nodame Cantabile manga is available in english, I guess its up to fans to import the game enough to generate interest in the same way. Because its an anime/manga licence that makes things difficult.
Please, Atlus or 505, look at this one for western release.
Where to have the good games gone which were praised for their unique use of the Wiimote ? They seem to become more and more run-on-the-mill Wiimote Waggling. The other button mashing. BORING.
On a side note, why do all rhythm games seem to use the same basic engine ? Nintendo, it's time for an innovation. Like assassin notes that suddenly uncover themselves or something.
