Another variation of the Rock Band logo - Image 1Sure, they've been around before, but the fact remains that they're still bonus songs. We're referring to the bonus Rock Band songs for the Nintendo Wii version of Harmonix's game, of course. It turns out that this version's bonus tracks have been previously available as downloadable content for the PS3 and the Xbox 360 versions.

This somewhat offsets the fact that Nintendo Wii players will not be able to download songs, unlike their console counterparts.

The songs in question are:
  •  "Dirty Little Secret" - The All American Rejects
  •  "Don't Look Back in Anger" - Oasis
  • "Roam" - The B-52's
  • "Rockaway Beach" - The Ramones
  • "Roxanne" - The Police
Harmonix Music Systems, MTV Games and Electronic Arts have scheduled the Wii version of Rock Band for release on June 22, 2008.

I guess that's their way of making up for giving the Wii owners a PS2 port without DLC...



Still doesn't account for all the missing features from the PS3 and 360 versions. Besides, the olnly song I know I like on that list is Dirty Little Secret... not worth it.



GHIII for the win

Hrm. Perhaps they should just sell bonus songs on the Wii Shopping Channel...

» WTF!?!?!?!?!

The songs run about 20MB a pop so theirs a space issue to worry about.
