On Oct. 20, Nintendo’s Wii Music Makes Maestros of Everyone
Wii Sports™ introduced new players to the world of video games. Wii Fit™ got even more people interested in fun and fitness.
Now Wii Music™ builds on that inclusive legacy by letting people turn their living rooms into fun concert halls. It brings the experience of performing music to people who think learning an instrument is too difficult. Wii Music launches exclusively for the Wii™ console on Oct. 20 and aims to bring a deeper love and appreciation of music to everyone.
Players can improvise jams on the fly with more than 60 instruments. You will find rock favorites like the electric guitar; orchestra standards like trumpet, saxophone and clarinet; and even international instruments like steel drums, marimba and sitar. Players simply select their instruments, and then move their Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ controllers as though they were playing the real thing. Wii Music turns players’ movements into great music, even if you’ve never picked up an instrument before.
Budding musicians can play along to the beat of a diverse array of more than 50 songs from a variety of genres including popular, licensed, classical and Nintendo songs. Or players can improvise by adding new beats or creative twists to the songs. The combinations are endless, and it’s all for the joy of creating fun new tunes.
Once players have their song the way they like it, they can forward it to friends who are also playing Wii Music via the Wii Message Board. Those friends can then put their own spin on the tune and send it back – or pass it along to their friends.

Teknocreatiosn “Incharge” Induction remote charger powers Wii remots through silicon skins without metal contacts
Posted on 17 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Lithium Polymer Batteries Provide up to 25 Hours of Battery Life per Charge
Albuquerque, NM (September, 2008) – Video game accessories have just reached a new stage of technological innovation with the introduction of TeknoCreations’s InCharge remote charger for Nintendo™ Wii™. Designed to charge one or two Wii remotes, the InCharge is the first and only charging station that will power Wii remotes without having to remove Silicon skins or most other similar protective covers.
Using the power of Lithium Polymer battery packs, the InCharge for Wii provides up to 25 hours of battery life on a full charge and is 50% lighter than other charge solutions for Wii. Likewise the InCharge, which retails for $34.99, uses a contactless inductive charging solution rather than metal contacts to charge each Wii remote. With the InCharge, gamers can save money on batteries as well as eliminate complications that arise from dirty or greasy battery contacts that occur with other Wii chargers.
“The InCharge is a powerful and effective tool that every Wii fan can benefit from,” commented Mark Kasok, TeknoCreation’s VP of Sales and Marketing. “Our designers have completely eliminated the metallic contact points that always seem to fail over time due to excessive accumulation of dirt, grime, sweat and grease. And gamers no longer have to constantly remove and replace their protective remote skins. Simply drop the Wii remote into the cradle and it will quickly recharge for up to twenty five hours of gaming.” Continued Kasok: “The InCharge is the most convenient, cost-effective and technologically advanced charging station available to Wii fans.”
InCharge Product Highlights:
• Charges through Nintendo Silicon skins and most other protective skins
• Uses Lithium Polymer Batteries for increased charging power and reliability
• Charge up to two Wii remotes simultaneously
• Non-metal conductive charging solution (charge not effected by dirt or grime)
• Up to 25 hours of battery power per charge
• Rapid recharge solution
• 50% lighter than other charging solutions
• Easy to read LED charge indicator lights
• Easy to clean and saves on battery cost
