Wii #0653 - Battle of the Bands (USA)

how exactly is this played? do you hit buttons or swing the wiimote left and right?

 

[Shiranui]

what happens when you update with scrubbed game?
and how is it connected? he is a pal user :|

I'm talking about the new 3.2E update which disables Freeloader and any ISO messed up with Trucha Signer :|.
Meaning that if this doesn't work on PAL, me and him are oficially screwed.

Trucha and FreeLoader still work perfectly well with PAL machines, even with the absolute latest updates ... they have not implemented IOS37 activation yet, but IOS37 is in most PAL machines by now ... duplicate channel remover does not show you everything that is in there ...

Are you sure? Because I updated my Wii a couple of days ago to buy some stuff from the Wii Shop Channel.

BTW - Confirmed working on PAL Wii by me -

Wiikey 1.9s, firmware 3.2E.
No patch applied to the ISO, just burn and play.

My thoughts by the 20 minutes I played: A suprisingly nice music game. It doesn't try to immitate Guitar Hero, but instead offer something new and interesting to the genre. Controls are pretty percise, and the covers are nice(30 songs overall, 5 different versions for each one). You should at least give this one a try if you're into music games.

Yes, I'm sure.

On a positive note(sic), some of the songs in this are excellent choices :

Man of Constant Sorrow
Mama Said Knock You Out
Black Betty
Insnae in the Brain

Beatmania is a far better Guitar Hero rip-off than this could ever be.

 

[shiftyraccoon]

Beatmania was out YEARS before Guitar Hero you tard

This game is not a GH clone... it's not even a guitar game, it's just a rhythm/music game.

And for anyone still interested in this:

There are localised files in the image for:
English - US and UK
Italian
Spanish
German
French

Looks like there is multi language support from the get go.

3.2E isn't the firmware, it's the Wii Menu version. The firmware is the IOS number. The Wii Menu currently uses IOS30 firmware, I imagine once the Wii Menu is updated to 3.3E then it will use the IOS37 firmware.
