Could Shigeru Miyamoto's musical pet-project be making a return?

Despite the fairly cool reception from many critics and gamers, it looks like Mr Miyamoto still has a lot of love for Wii Music.

Speaking to ONM, the veteran game designer (who we'd like to wish a very happy birthday to today, by the way) discussed the aftermath of the game's release, and whether it has a possible future.

"I think it sold lower than our expectations but on the other hand it was a really unique game, I have to say. 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. We may want to think about the possibility of making some improvements, based upon the original Wii Music. Unfortunately we don't have any news we can talk about at the moment, 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..."

It looks like if we're going to see more Wii Music, it'll be in the form of an expansion of the original concept. We know a lot of dedicated gamers who stand by the original as a fun and addictive experience, but perhaps if Nintendo could focus that core concept, it will reach an ever wider audience?

But what do you think? Would you like to see a refined Wii Music? Or is it one series Nintendo should just leave be. Drop your comments below...
