KORG DS-10 Makers Keen on Nintendo's Wii?

Following the highly praised Nintendo handheld version of KORG DS-10, it has been revealed that something could be in the works for a home console. Venerable musicians Nobuyoshi Sano (long-term Ridge Racer series composer), Michio Okamiya (member of Final Fantasy rock band 'The Black Mages'), as well as the legendary Yasunori Mitsuda (who is best known for the soundtracks of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, whilst more recently worked with SEGA on the DS RPG 'Sands of Destruction' and Nintendo's very own 'Soma Bringer'), all teamed up to use the DS edition of the KORG synthesiser for a performance at 5pb Records' EXTRA Hyper Game Music Event back in October at the Studio Coast auditorium in Shin-Kiba, Tokyo.
Following the show, where the DS music making product that came to the US via XSEED Games and Europe thanks to Nintendo was used extensively to re-create tunes from famous games, including a rather funky techno remix from the Chrono series, the three musicians were interviewed and it was revealed there could be plans to bring something similar to a home console, and given the previous work on DS, perhaps seeing this new product on Wii is not such a stretch.

Below is the live performance, followed by a quote from the interview:

Gamasutra: As the producer of Korg DS-10, what are your feelings about the intersection of video games and music creation? Can you envision guitar creation software being designed for a home console?

Michio Okamiya: My focus is rather on the promotional side, and that's often how I get involved in projects. I feel that video game music is catching on more and more. I often hear of people starting to create music because they are inspired by their memories of games. Another plus is that music transcends language barriers, allowing us to communicate directly with listeners around the world. In designing video games, music plays an essential role, and I think it has to be treated very sensitively, just like other significant elements of the game design.

I feel it would be tremendously interesting if more music creation software is released in the future. I am very interested in seeing software designed for guitarists. There are hardware specification restrictions of course, but something like an amp simulator would be very practical...but I had better stop there or else I am liable to give away too much information about my next project.

Would you like to see AQ Interactive and Procyon Studio create a musical application like the KORG DS-10 for Wii? Or even a guitar-based programme? Let us know by posting below...
