Nintendo Wii Fanboy

I sort of doubt it. They don't need a separate channel just for DLC and stuff. It will just be feature in game, just like the other games that feature DLC.

even though having a separate channel for DLC would be great, it doesn't necessary have to be that way.

just look at how my life as a king handles DLC

eithet way, I hope nintendo announces a HD at E3, or else we're all gonna be screwed when GH comes out

Oh you played it? Wow, for some reason I thought they weren't done with the game yet...

sketchampm:

Your an idiot. Of course WT will beat the snot out of Rock Band.

Rock Band Wii is an abortion of a game.
Go play Rock Band on a 360/ps3 then say the Wii one it isn't going to be worthless with all of its confirmed missing features (one of the biggest being DLC).

You can't.

Being able to buy another song that you WANT for only $1-$2 is the best thing games like this can do. Not to mention that you can play it in EVERY aspect of the game.

Being forced to buy 30 songs on an separate expansion Disc is worthless...
A bunch of songs on there you don't even want, and probably only a few that you do.

Having this feature announced NOW, will only persuade intelligent consumers to NOT buy the abortion of a game called Wii Rock Band, and wait for a company to make the game what it SHOULD BE! Like GH:World Tour is going to be doing.
It doesn't hurt any that the drum set for World Tour looks way better than Rock Bands.....

Now, if they could just be damn sure not to mess up the surround sound this time :)

i'm with you thedave 100% of the way.
i think although everyone may lovee rock band and i do have it on 360 and do agree it is good, the way they have just crippled the wii version is just not right and ontop of this making people wait half a year and charging them near or the same price as what it is for the xbox and ps3 versions is just ridiculous.

and thats only for the usa too!
they still haven't even got a release date for rock band on wii throughout the rest of the world, where, on the platforms it is released on (xbox 360 in the uk) it costs twice the amount as it does in the usa!

this is why smart people won't buy this but wait till the fall of this year so only 4-5 more months for a game that most definatly will be much bigger and better than rock band is at the moment on any console.

thank you and good night. (its 00:34 here in the uk-_-)

TheDave: cause you know, there was nothing broken about GH3 other than the surround sound.

GH3 was hard for the sake of being hard. It's all about getting scores, instead of just having fun. Rock Band on the other hand, focuses on having fun with friends, instead of arguing over who has more 1337 skillz.

That's not to say I'll be buying Rock Band, since DLC and world tour mode *are* important parts of the experience, but don't try telling me that the Guitar Hero franchise isn't broken .

sn1per, I don't feel that GH3 was that hard at all.

Once you learn how to use the broken hammerons, its really easy.

That being said, it is still the only GH game I don't have all 5 stars on. Not because of solos though. Mostly little combo breaking crap. Much like how Misirlou was my last GH2 5*, The Way It Ends and TTFAF are just too hard, because I suck at speed strumming.

However, Cult of Personality would be harder than Jordan if it was in the GH2 engine.

Now as for the songs, Some had some stupid overcharts, but they weren't all bad at all. 3's and 7's. Cities on Flame, Impulse, Helicopter, Cliffs of Dover, and Mauvais Garcon (don't shoot me) are some of my favorites.

They weren't all Number of the Beast bad, as alot of people seem to make it out to be. And Harmonix hasn't had perfect charts either. What I like about you was terrible, and the undercharting in GH1 left me quite angry. Why add a massive solo ending to Ace of Spades if you aren't going to chart it?

Anyway. I had fun with GH3, and I don't even score-crunch it as much as the older GHs. Granted it is not the best in the GH series by a longshot, I am willing to give Neversoft/Vicarious Visions another chance, and they seem to be doing good as of now.

To everyone out there: Don't judge this game before you play it. Also, don't judge Rock Band Wii before you play it. Granted, RBWii's feature list is dissapointing, I am going to play it atleast once, if I can get my hands on it.

As a person that has enjoyed both Guitar Hero and Rock Band games, I feel there is really no need to divide up on this issue. I am sick of seeing so many arguments over the games. They are just games! Can't we play them both?

i seen on a demo that the 2 guitarists were using les pauls, so i don't see why not

im sure that they never ever stated that they would have dlc for the wii version of gh3, i'm pretty sure that they said they wouldn't be able to due to some reason i can't remember.

I dont normally use subpar blogs as reference, but it seemed appropriate.

ah i see lol
well, you are right:)
although i kept remembering everyone saying that at that time last year nintendo didn't allow you to load stuff from external memory cards and things which my friend kept whining about saying there wasn't enough internal memory for downloadable content for anything.

ah well, im sure that they will provide dlc this time:)
and it will be awesome.

That's funny, you don't like to use subpar blogs for reference, yet you'll comb their archives from more than a year ago, then post on the blog in question?

Look, we appreciate our readers calling us out on any and everything that needs to be called out, but there's no need for you to be a jerk about it. We're not manufacturing the news, we're merely reporting on what's out there. So keep that in mind when you want to unfairly label us.

relax. its the internet. i was kidding.

That said, it wasn't so much combing as using your search function.

They were screwed in the eyes of disgruntled wii fans the moment they went hush about RB Wii and only revealed that after 6 months, they (Pi) have not changed the game what-so-ever for the Wii; it became what most people abhor - a port. Instead of trying to work on some things they took the route that was easiest, to compete with Activision, and release a game that is guaranteed to sell very well. In fact they kept the ps3/360 price with the inclusion of 5 more songs, 5 bonus songs in expense of a ps2 port that has no guitar compatibility. I don't know if you'd agreed with that maneuver however that's a low blow to the patient RB fans.

I'm not insulting RB in any way (other than the companies behind it) however it seems that Activision/Neversoft/VV will at least attempt to make a game that doesn't feel like a port (What they promise that is - when the game is out is when we'll see how much is false); it's a move that EA/Hmx/Pi did not take with RB and to most consumers it makes them look like another company trying to get rich quick.

While it's true that we don't care about graphics, we also would enjoy creating our own character; while this feat is something that couldn't be done with the engine RB was built on it is something that might've been done (We'll see if GH:WT Wii has it).

If EA/Harmonix/Pi wanted to focus on core gameplay then so be it, however their move of: A) Pricing the game as the as the superior versions due to 5 more songs. B) Removing online play and blaming Nintendo for DLC conflict. C) Not using the Wii-mote for their guitars yet claiming to be "open format". D) Taking 6 months to release a port. : Makes them look like the bad guys on this console.

CHECKPOINTJoeS:

You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME with your whining about lack of respect for whoremonix.
They DESERVE EVERY SINGLE SLAM they get.

They are making a crapola version of Rock Band for the Wii just to make more $$$. A quick and easy port of the PS2 version.
They are spending such a minor amount of development time, that it most likely won't even be compatible with GH guitars.

They are just slapping Wii owners in the face with their complete LACK of effort on this version.

Would it be choppy if they ported over the 360/ps3 version to the Wii, of course! Don't do that. Drop half the polygon count (or whatever it would take).
Wait no, can't do that, it would require some effort & cost too much $$$, and eat into profits to much.

Having the 360 version, and playing with friends is part of the fun. However, I have more fun with my friends while in between songs, going to customize each others characters, and laughing or asses off at the ridiculous costumes we can put our characters in. Not to mention the World Tour mode is a whole reason to play.

When the Whoremonix abortion called Wii Rock Band is released, and it is pretty much just "Quick Play" of songs as a Band. It will suck. There is not nearly as much fun in that.
