Ultimate Band coming from Disney
These days it seems everyone wants to capitalize on singing platformers. The success of games like Rock Band, Singstar or Guitar Hero is definitely enough to make others want a piece of the pie.
Next in line to produce a rhythm-based game is Disney, who will soon launch Ultimate Band for the Nintendo Wii and DS. The game will aim to impress by allowing gamers to play it using only the Wiimote and the DS stylus. No bands or songs have been announced yet, but Disney promises that “some of the biggest names in rock, alternative, popular, emo, and indie rock music” from the 60s to present day will be available.
The two versions of Ultimate Band are completely different, in the Wii version, players will play throughout the career of a rock-star, starting from singing in a garage to International stadiums. The DS game will feature a recording studio, where players can create their own tunes.
Ultimate Band is scheduled for release during this year’s holiday season.
