Nintendo symphony

A video of a Nintendo DS “jammming band”. Either Nintendo paid alot of money for a great viral piece or this is a group of people who are spending way too much time in Akihabara.

It’s a game, ‘big band’ or something similar I believe, like beatmania/guitar freaks/ddr, but wireless, everyone has instructions on their screen of what to hit when. And it all lines up to make a nice song:D

there is a polish electronica band called gagameboyzz orchestra, they do something similar – play music on gameboys, something between lo-fi electronic music and funny performance..

Of course, there are some interesting possibilities in building your own system. More on that soon. ;-)
Haven’t seen the Gameboy Orchestra, thanks!
