Details Emerge On Rock Band for Wii
March 27, 2008
Washington (dbTechno) - MTV and Harmonix announced recently that Rock Band has been confirmed and will be released on the Nintendo Wii on June 22. More details have now been released about the game, revealing how it will compare to its PS2, PS3, and Xbox 360 counterparts.
It is looking more and more like Rock Band on the Nintendo Wii will be very similar to the PS2 version. Reports are that the game is actually going to be a port of the PS2 version, and not a port of the PS3 or Xbox 360 version.
This is due to the fact that it is confirmed to not feature any type of online play or downloadable content. This means no downloadable songs, no online music store, no Band World Tour mode online etc.
In terms of the songs though, the Wii version will get a bit of a boost to try to make up for the alck of DLC.
The Wii version is getting 5 bonus tracks over the original Xbox 360 and PS3 playlists. This is a nice bonus, but still does not fully replace DLC.
The other news is that Harmonix may not be putting any type of band customization or the Band World Tour mode in the game. These may be left out of the Wii version.
And finally, those of you with Guitar Hero III on the Wii should know that the guitar will not work on Rock Band.
