THQ is sending out word that it will be releasing a new Nintendo Wii title this coming April in the form of Band Mashups. The video game features five distinct musical styles (rock, funk/hip-hop, country,
marching band, and Latin) as well as 150 tracks.
The company's Global Brand Director, Randy Shoemaker, had this to say:
Using a rhythm based game-play mechanic, the game delivers 70 over-the-top musical weapons and utilizes the Wii Remote's functionality to deliver a completely original musical combat experience.
Unlike your usual rhythm-based games, Band Mashups is different in such a way that it incorporates combat into gameplay. "Fighting with a
sniper violin or flamethrower guitar is something gamers should
definitely look forward to," added Shoemaker.
Here are the rest of features Nintendo Woo owners can anticipate from Band Mashups, as provided by THQ:
- The first time a musical "mashup" game has been
delivered on Wii, allowing players to battle it out with their
preferred musical style.
- Features both an exciting two
player versus mode and an extensive single-player campaign where
players take on the role of one of eleven bands trying to topple the
nefarious big boss Mr. Hong and take control of the faraway city of
New Cadenza.
- Introduces the innovative concept of "music
switching," putting the player winning the battle in control of the
style of music both players hear. When an opponent turns the tide of
battle, the music changes as well, switching between different music
styles.
- Features 30 classic and modern chart-topping hits
from over the last four decades, all of which have been recorded in
five different styles - (rock, funk/hip-hop, country, Latin and
marching band) - for the game, resulting in a total of 150 unique,
playable recordings.
