Daigasso! Band Brothers P
Daigasso! Band Brothers is music game in which the player can choose any
instrument in a song, and then perform that instrument’s role in the song.
Your ability to perform will affect the outcome of the song, as your input
corresponds with musical notes. To play your instrument you use the buttons on
the DS. Beginner Mode only requires you to press either the D-Pad or a button,
and will play harder sections of songs for you by touching the touch screen
when shown. As you progress through the Amateur and Pro modes, you’ll be using
all eight face buttons/directions to play an entire octave, and shoulder
buttons to modify the note, making it a sharp or an octave higher.
The top screen shows the next few bars of music, with the buttons you are
required to press to play your instrument. A marker will move along each bar,
showing the notes the player needs to play. Correctly playing the right notes
at the right time will result in the song playing perfectly, while too many
mistakes will create a mess of inaccurate sounds.
In multiplayer mode, up to eight players on one cartridge each pick a
different instrument and try and play a song together, with each player
hearing everyone else’s mistakes.
A unlockable song editor allows you to create your own MIDI compositions, and
then play these normally in the game. You can also create simple songs by
humming or whistling into the microphone.
