THQ has confirmed that Battle of the Bands, the game once known as Band Mashups, has shipped to store shelves across North America. Available exclusively for the Nintendo Wii, Battle of the Bands combines beat matching and combat into one head-to-head battle for music supremacy.
The game introduces the innovative concept of “music switching,” playing the music in the preferred genre of the winning player. When an opponent turns the tide of battle, the music changes as well, switching between different music genres.
Battle of the Bands features 30 classic and modern chart-topping hits from the last four decades, all of which have been recorded in five different styles - rock, funk/hip-hop, country, Latin and marching band - for the game, resulting in a total of 150 unique tracks and 70 unique musical weapons.
