Nintendo’s answer to Rock Band, on the DS http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/previewArt.cfm?artid=16151 Daigasso! Band Brothers DX (literally meaning “Grand Ensemble”) is a music creation game and sequel of the original Band Brothers, one of the DS launch titles in Japan back in 2004.
The main part of the game has remained unchanged, hitting buttons and different directions on the d-pad in time with the music to onscreen prompts. In this new DX sequel, players can now sing along in the karaoke mode and receive a score based on their performance. It includes thirty tracks to play and sing along to.
Like the original version, DX has a "hum recognition system" which converts a player's humming into the microphone into real sheet music on screen. Different instruments can then be added to your songs as part of the in-depth music creation tool. In addition to that, all user-created music can now be shared online with friends across the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection.
The previous version expanded the track list using a GBA cart, but Nintendo has stated that you will be able to download about two hundred additional songs using the online service in DX. The memory capacity for storing traded and other downloaded songs has been expanded from eight slots to one hundred.
There will also be a specific “Wii Speaker Channel” for the game, allowing you to showcase your music through your television. This will be made available for download through the Wii Shopping Channel at the time of the title's release. Like the original, this version has no planned US release.
"Daigasso! Band Brothers DX" will be released in Japan on June 26
