The unique title may see improvements down the road.

In an interview with Official Nintendo Magazine UK, Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto hinted that Wii Music may see an enhanced version. While he revealed no specific details, in regards to a possible follow-up title he said, "But like Wii Fit Plus, it's not really a sequel to the original Wii Fit - but we have added some features to improve the overall experience. It's a kind of an enhanced version of the original Wii Fit..."

Although Miyamoto admits the game did not sell as many copies as Nintendo expected (2.65 million as of May 2009, according to the company), he still believes it was a truly unique game. "And also, even today, we are receiving several different offers from people in the field of music education, so as far as Wii Music is concerned, I think is still has great potential. And in the future there might be some developments."

Wii Music was initially released in Japan and North America in October 2008.
