Nintendo Wii Owners Have Another Band Game From Which To Choose Today, As Thq Has Shipped Its Battle Of The Bands To Retailers In North America. Battle Of The Bands Gives Wii Owners A Little Something To Brag About, Though, As It’s Exclusive For The Wii. Rock Band And Guitar Hero 3 Also Appeared On Ps3, Xbox 360 And Ps2.

Battle Of The Bands Doesn’t Require The Use Of A Peripheral, As It Uses The Wii Remote’s Motion-Sensing Capabilities To Combine A Beat-Matching Game With Combat. Yes, Combat. Battle Of The Bands Is Sort Of Like The Head-To-Head Mode In Guitar Hero 3. But Don’t Worry; There’s Also A Single-Player Mode.

Thq’s Music Game Includes 30 Songs, Each Recorded In All Five Of The Game’s Different Music Styles: Rock, Funk/Hip-Hop, Country, Marching Band And Latin.

Several UK online retailers have already sold through their initial allocations of Wii Fit, and have stopped taking pre-orders for any future copies.

Amazon.co.uk. Shopto.net, Play.com, Game.co.uk, and Zavvi.co.uk all point to “massive demand” as the reason they can’t take any more orders, reports Videogaming247.

Nintendo suggests that UK Wii owners who want to be more aware of their bodies should “shop around to secure their copy” of Wii Fit.

“We are doing everything we can to ensure we have as much stock as possible coming into the UK and Ireland not just at launch, but continually, to try and minimise any potential disappointment as much as possible,” said Nintendo.

 Nintendo today announced that Wii Fit and the accompanying Wii Balance Board will ship May 19 for $89.99.

The big question with Wii Fit is not whether the peripheral will work, but whether the unique controller peripheral will actually have a sufficient shelf life to warrant the $90 price?

Only time will tell…
