Both the Wii and the DS have shown a trend of recent titles intended to use the consoles in new and innovative ways. With my DS I've already done face exercises, trained my brain, played with motion capture and stuck my nose up schoolgirl skirts. The last one isn't really innovative, but it makes me feel naughty and delicious.
Symphonic Orchestra has just been announced in Japan for the DS, hot on the heels of Wiimusic and Nodame Cantabile: Dream Orchestra. Players will use the Wiimote to conduct their orchestra through performances from symphonic greats such as Beethoven, Bizet and Verdi. The chellenges will be set in illustrious locations such as Paris, Berlin and Vienna.
To the general gamer this may sound as abysmal as flute lessons from grammar school, but a specific type of gamer ought to get weak in the knees for it. The concept reminds me a bit of Trauma Center and could be really cool if executed correctly. It also seems like a title my grandmother would dig, which is cool because I like the idea of sharing gaming with family in a way they could actually understand.

Youve activated the BEETHOVEN card, you are now partially deaf and are prone to fits of alcoholic rage.

why must you tease me so Colette?
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAH BRILLIANT!
Fuck you, Nintendo, and fuck your region lockouts.
I'm terrible at humor....
I'm a big classical music fan. I'm hoping this one rides it's way here on the US-Import tsunami wave.
HOW ORIGINAL :D
Hear, hear!! (No, that wasn't a Beethoven pun.) I definitely would love to have this game. Anyone who thinks that classical music is boring is listening to the wrong composers.
Pity we'll probably never get it here, like WiiMusic.
