Oh, man. I had such high hopes for this game; when I heard Nintendo was making an abstract music touchscreen game, I got really excited and started thinking about the intersection of gaming and musical instruments, which honestly, I haven’t thought about in a while*.

However, as fascinatingly freeform as the game sounds, it also appears as if Nintendo has unfortunately not included the ability to save any musical creations, and has also neglected to include any wireless collaborative or multi-player aspect. And that’s a shame; good musicians will forgive almost any instrument limitation and turn just about any technical deficiency into an asset, but with software and hardware like this, there should really be a way to collaborate, or at least save your “work”. It’s kind of a missed opportunity, is all.
