Shigeru Miyamoto has been discussing Wii Music as of late, and today there's another issue that has been brought up. Miyamoto recently responded to some of the harsh reviews of Wii Music handed out by critics, most specifically IGN's Matt Casamassina.
With Wii Music, those who do not find the game appealing will not be convinced otherwise at this point.

Could WiiMusic end up being more than what we've been shown? New information about Nintendo's upcoming rhythm game include incentive based games entitled Mii Maestro, Handbell Harmony, and Pitch Perfect. Score based games that go against the initial impression that WiiMusic is just a toy.

Well, following in the footsteps of Brawl, Nintendo will now be headlining Wii Music. In the first edition of Iwata Asks: Wii Music, you'll find Miyamoto sharing his passion of music, how Wii Music came to be, and much more."
