Nintendo may have stumbled with the release of Wii Music, but it’s not done with the game yet.

Speaking with the United Kingdom’s official Nintendo magazine for an upcoming issue, Wii Music producer Shigeru Miyamoto speculated that the company could release an enhanced version, similar to Wii Fit Plus.

“Even today, we are receiving several different offers from people in the field of music education, so as far as Wii Music is concerned, I think is still has great potential,” he said.

Miyamoto told the magazine that the game has sold lower than Nintendo’s expectations.

In October 2008, at a roundtable event following the game’s release, Miyamoto said that the company was having trouble getting people to buy Wii Music in Japan, but analysts still expected the game to do much better in the U.S. where the Wii platform was lightning-hot.

It didn’t. Will a Wii Fit Plus-style expansion and a renewed marketing push do the trick? Miyamoto and crew always seemed personally invested in the success of Wii Music, so perhaps they’re not quite ready to let go of the dream yet.
