How to “cheat” at Wii Music

March 15, 2009

When my sister and I were first testing out Wii Music last year, we decided to try out Turkey in the Straw for kicks. The default tempo is a little bit slower than we were hoping for, so we adjusted that in the settings.

Of course, that meant we now had to play the song much faster than our tired thumbs would let us.

But no more!

You too can create a hilarious video featuring the likenesses of you, your boyfriend, your immediate family and a guest Mii you added for reasons we’ll get to later with a greatly reduced likelihood of mistakes by (jarring chord) beating the system! *insert maniacal laughter here*

Say you want to make a video featuring one of Wii Music’s faster songs, or want to speed up a slower song, but are having a hard time performing at your desired tempo. By selecting the “tempo” menu in the settings, you can set the song’s speed to suit your comfort level. All you have to do is move it back to your desired final tempo before you record your last track — so if the tempo you really want makes playing the song tricky, make sure that last track is an easy one!


We’re — seriously — still here

Yes, that pesky “real life” thing got in the way again, but we’re determined to make it up to you. game girls will soon be getting a bit of an overhaul, complete with a makeover and regular posting (we promise!).

Until then, dig the Super Mario RPG song. It’s retrotastic.

And the Legendary Frog Final Fantasy video too:
