Disney Interactive Studios announced today a new game developed by Fall Line Studio called Ultimate Band, an all new music experience for fans of the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. Gamers and music lovers of all ages will realize their dream of becoming a rock legend when they build their own band or jam alone, all fueled only by the power of the Wii controllers and the DS stylus.

Players can jam to current and classic songs using the drums, lead guitar, bass guitar, or rhythm guitar. Players can create their own original songs using the DS touchscreen and stylus to lay down tracks for each instrument and apply creative mixing effects. Players can also create and customize characters that reflect their own unique personalities and attributes. Ultimate Band for Nintendo DS will also include DGamer functionality which will allow players to engage with others in a secure online community via their DS (Wi-Fi or ad hoc) or computer. Look for Ultimate Band to land on the Wii and the DS this holiday season.
