Rather than pay-per-song DLC, Joysound actually uses a subscription model that provides access to Xing's existing Joysound library of 20,000 songs, with 1,000 new songs added every month. Hudson plans to release Karaoke Joysound Wii this summer in Japan. Since it relies so heavily on an existing collection of Japanese karaoke songs, an American release doesn't seem likely.

This seems interesting, and i'd pick up an american version in a second, but why is no one mentioning the DLC that was just given to Super Smash Bros. Brawl?

I wouldn't, my song library has more japanese songs than any other language, and I'm Mexican, xDDDDDDDDDDD
Now, seeing how this game will be featuring downloading songs..... maybe there is hope for the DLC on Guitar Hero, Rock Band and many more to come games for the Wii that can used the DLC option, and as seeing the lack of a truly HD on the Wii, we will have to have many sdcards, xD
Hudson is creating much lova for our Wii's

So please EA, tell me again why Rock Band doesn't have DLC for Wii...Is it because it is incapable of such a service?! Oops! Apparently a measly WiiWare game by Hudson can manage it! Hudson has like a billion less funds than you and yet you can't do it?! What the Flip EA...What the flip?!

It's a recurring phenomenon. Japanese publishers/devs tap the capabilities of the Wii while the Western ones sit around, suck their thumbs, and feed us mediocre shit

Kareoke music tracks are a LOT smaller (Ie: Midi, no vocals, etc). This style of DLC, which I will call "streaming" since you're not actually downloading anything, would be a lot harder with full stereo high quality music waveforms.

Actually, I just realised that you don't actually download these songs but rather stream them, then, yes, I guess my statement is full of bull**** so yes, I take it back, sorry EA...Keep up the good work?
