Its gameplay focuses on button input similar to its predecessor, which involves notes that scroll down and an arrow to indicate when to hit them. Players may create and download songs, though the download limit is 100 due to JASRAC licensing issues. As of February 19, 2009, the Japanese list of songs consists of more than 4,000 songs. Players may preview the song before downloading, and may also rate them on a scale of one to five. The game was followed up in 2013 by the Japan-only release of the Nintendo 3DS game ''Daigasso! Band Brothers P''. ==Gameplay== ''Jam with the Band'' features more than 60 instruments that can be played. During gameplay, ''Jam with the Band''s gameplay focuses on button input similar to its predecessor. It also includes the ability to play chords instead of single button inputs for certain instruments. The buttons used increases as the difficulty increases—while on the lowest difficulty, any of the buttons may be used to hit a note, while the hardest difficulty usually makes use of all buttons. The notes scroll down at a certain speed, and the players must hit a note with the corresponding button. There are four ways a player may hit a note - "Best", "Good", "Bad", and "Miss". There is no health meter in ''Jam with the Band'', allowing players to play the song to completion. A song can have a number of different ways to play it—if the song uses both a string and percussion instruments, players may play through it with either. Up to eight players may play together, each able to choose from one of the instruments available in a song. It also makes use of the microphone for an alternate mode of play which allows players to do karaoke to songs that include lyrics using the Nintendo DS' microphone. Players can connect their game to a Wii console and utilize a game-specific Wii Channel called the ''Live Channel'', known in Japan as the ''Speaker Channel'', which transmits the game's audio through the television. Players can also download up to 100 songs out of over 1000 onto the game, via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, as well as play locally with up to eight people using single-card download play.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Daigasso!
