Before I get accused of having a hard on for Rock Band, let me say...Ok well I do. But that isn't why I've posted all the news on it. There is just so much going on with this game in general. There is something new about it every week. Sometimes it almost seems like every day. But I digest. :)
But as the title and the release below state, they have set the release date for the game on the Wii. It's pretty cool news. But to top that off, extra controllers will be available on the same day. So non of the waiting the PS and Xbox players have had to do so they can actually have a full band with the game's controllers. Yes I know the XBox version has been able since launch, but that's why I pointed out the GAME'S controller. The only main draw back I see from it coming to the Wii is that by default there is no storage on the system for DLC. So they will be SOL until they get a universal way to solve that. But at least Harmonix decided to give the Wii version 5 extra songs on the disk for this. Lets just hope they don't mess up like Activision did with the GHIII discs for the Wii.
Rock Band for Wii will be released as a Special Edition bundle including the software, drums, microphone and a wireless guitar. Stand alone instruments will also be available on June 22nd for people who want to build their band one instrument at a time or want to play the drum versus drum game mode. The game will feature 63 songs including five bonus songs for Wii gamers to enjoy.
"The Wii's success among casual and core gamers of all ages makes it an ideal match for the cross-generational appeal of the music featured in Rock Band," says Bob Picunko, Vice President of Electronic Games and Interactive Products, MTV
"The social interaction and addictive nature of the Rock Band experience is a perfect fit for the Wii and will undoubtedly be fun for the entire family," says Steve Singer, licensing VP from Nintendo.
