Shigeru Miyamoto chatted with ONM and hinted that we could see some kind of sequel to their not-such-a-hit rhythm title Wii Music, even though many didn’t consider it a success, or live up to the expectations Nintendo wanted for the game.

“I think it sold lower than our expectations but on the other hand it was a really unique game, I have to say,” Miyamoto told the magazine. “And also, even today, we are receiving several different offers from people in the field of music education, so as far as Wii Music is concerned, I think it still has great potential. And in the future there might be some developments. We may want to think about the possibility of making some improvements, based upon the original Wii Music.”

So does this mean Mr. Miyamoto and Nintendo had already greenlit a new Wii Music? Well, kind of, but he can’t speak about it. “Unfortunately we don’t have any news we can talk about at the moment,” said the legendary game designer. “But like Wii Fit Plus, it’s not really a sequel to the original Wii Fit – but we have added some features to improve the overall experience. It’s a kind of an enhanced version of the original Wii Fit…”

When Wii Music was first revealed to the world at E3 2008, it might have been and still could be, the worst surprise/announcement the company has ever revealed during the famous expo. I remember sitting in the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles along with other members of the press, trying to figure out why Nintendo thought this was going to be a blockbuster title. When we finally got to play the game, I use the word game loosely because a “game” needs rules and this title didn’t, I thought it was actually more horrible than I could have imagined. Instead of playing an awesome Journey song like in Rock Band 2, which I played minutes before Wii Music, I was mimicking playing a flute with the Wiimote, and ‘jamming’ to “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.”
