Best wii game music controllers according to redditors

Any USB mic that doesn't require a driver on Windows will work with the Xbox One. I highly recommend the Wii U Microphone. It's what I use. I'm not #1 all over the vox leaderboards, but I have a lot of top 10 scores, so it obviously doesn't suck.

Possibly the Gametime Buddies guitar?


Apparently it's actually a decent controller. Might want to cut slits in the rubber pads under the fret buttons to make the buttons feel a little nicer, but I suppose that's down to personal preference.


Acai bought one and he said he'll likely use it until it breaks.

We have the Wii U microphone, and like it. I've seen many recommendations for it here on reddit.

The buddies guitar on amazon is the only trustworthy one on amazon and it works with the raphnet

Microphone that works for both PS4 and Xbox One

Now, the question is if you are Xbox or PS family. Xbox One game + adapter hard to get under $80, PS4 you can find for $40.

So if you're PS4 it's $65+shipping. Most of the concerns that people have right now is exports and legacy dlc entitlements. RB3 Export works just fine(another $15 though). RB1 is rolling out and the other soon follows(except Beatles).

I would wait until all exports are out if the main set list is your concern and you're not willing to dump another $40 for DLC out of the gates. I'll also wait to see if any sweet band bundle deals comes out. The RB4 guitar is easily the best guitar made imo.

Although I play it daily, practicing those drums at least 30 minutes each day.

I connect my Japanese Wii U to my home router like any other NA electronic and have no problems accessing the Japanese eShop or anything. The only time I had to set up a VPN on my laptop to play a game was for the Dragon Quest X trial that came with the system. DQX's online mode is only accessible from a Japanese IP. If you try to connect otherwise, it tells you that you must connect from within Japan. Offline can be played no problem.

For accessories, all of my Nintendo first party stuff - balance board, wiimotes, controlpad pro, etc - can be swapped between systems. I often have to resync my wiimotes when I go from playing Pikmin 3 to doing something on my NA Wii U. I think I bought the majority of them in America with only a few from Japan but I've forgotten which come from where.

Joysound is great! The selection volume is like a real Karaoke box and it is reasonably priced. You have to buy 利用券 from the eShop to be able to play and you can buy 1 day, 30 day, or 90 day sizes. The 90 day is something like only 2,000 or 3,000 yen. I don't know how often you like to Karaoke but my fiancee and I spend like twice that in one visit on one night at nearby Japanese karaoke bars. The music in the game is midi-based but it is a lot a lot of fun to play. I would say it is 80% the karaoke box experience. To sing, you can use the built in mic of the GamePad or buy microphones. I got 2 of the Nintendo Branded Wii-U microphones for like 10 bucks off Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Wii-U-Microphone-Nintendo/dp/B009AFLXZM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375475019&sr=8-1&keywords=wii+u+microphone) and they work fine.

To be honest, I haven't had a problem with any Nintendo hardware not being compatible since the SNES. Thusfar, my Japanese Wii U is fine with my NA hardware.

For storage, I checked Nintendo of America's guide as to what kinds of hard drives are compatible with the Wii U and it worked fine for the Japanese one too.

Incorrect. The Rock Band 2 guitars apparently have dongles:

This is one of the guitars I picked up:

You wouldn't happen to know where I could get a Wii controller from do you? Input lag on Playstation controllers is a biggy for me so that's definitely a no-go. I was originally going to buy an X360 controller but I haven't found any as of yet. I found a 3rd party version of the Wii Les Paul on Amazon but I'm not sure if its trustworthy or not.

I use a wii guitar with the raphnet adaptor.
