Sometimes is just hard to find certain Wii games in my country, Singapore. Most of the hard to find Wii games are usually those Japanese Wii games that seldom debut in other countries. One such game is Nodame Cantabile: Dream Orchestra for the Wii. In short, Nodame Cantabile is about classical music. Highly popular in Japan and Asia in 2007, you can find Nodame Cantabile in anime, manga, drama and video games. I particularly like the main female character, Noda Megumi (Nodame).

Ok, back to the game. The game allows you to make use of your Wii Remote and Nunchuck to “play” different musical instruments such as the piano, violin, drums, oboe, cello, clarinet, flute and of course, have fun being a conductor. Get on the beat and your music meter will go up. Sort of hitting a button in Guitar Hero III but this time, you shake your Wii Remote (and Nunchuck) or press some buttons on the Wii Remote to hit the right note. The actions which you carry out will resemble the way of playing the real musical instrument in real life. 4 people can form something like a band to play a music piece at the same time.

Besides playing the piano, Nodame also loves the Puri Gorota anime.

What’s Nodame Cantabile: Dream Orchestra without Puri Gorota mini games?

Strictly speaking, this game is for Nodame fans only. You can’t find the exhilaration similar to Guitar Hero or Rock Band but if you like classical music and simple yet cute gameplay, then Nodame Cantabile: Dream Orchestra is the game for you.

    Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me how to purchase this? I’m from Singapore too. I’ve tried to get friends to buy it for me from Japan but I haven’t been successful. Would greatly appreciate your assistance.
