Rock Band Wii "similar" to PS2 version, more details |
Listed in: Wii Tags: Dolby, Harmonix, Mii, PS2, USB hub, Wiimote

Harmonix has given more details about the upcoming Wii version of Rock Band (also available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360) to online gaming news site Joystiq. Here's what we gathered.
First of all, Rock Band for Wii will apparently have functionality "similar to the PS2 version." There will be no online mode, so no online co-op and no Rock Band store. There will also be no character creator included, hence no Mii support.
Regarding the peripherals, those with Guitar Hero 3: Legends of Rock (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC) will not be able to use their guitar controllers with the game. Said Harmonix, "support for the GH3 guitar peripherals in Rock Band on the Wii was not possible without Activision's permission."
One good thing though is that gamers don't have to connect a Wiimote to any of the peripherals to get them running. The drums for the Wii version will be sporting a white finish. You can check it out by clicking on the image to the right.The Rock Band Wii bundle will also come with a powered USB hub just like the Xbox 360 release. The game itself will include Dolby Pro Logic II support at launch and will also be 480p compatible.
Harmonix has yet to say anything specific about the five bonus songs that will come with the game, so keep checking back here for more updates.

this person actully makes sense

On point:
I'm glad that Rock Band is finally coming to Wii and now we have more information. Although I think it was screwed up that they didn't use the online features and that you can't create your own character. I think I would have even accepted if we could use our Miis. I think that because of this I would rather by it for my Xbox 360 instead.

Its no ones fault that the wii gets any sort of bad name or shovelware but the consumer.
Remember kids, anyone who buys this package is telling these corporations that we could care less about quality for our system. As long as it has a name our 360/ps3 buddies toss around, we will spend our money blindly.

I'm pissed, really, and now I won't get this game. I really wanted online play and DLC. Well now I'll just go and play at my friends house since they got a way better version.

Which is PROOF that people DO rate appropriately.
What is your secret? How are you possibly able to be 100% wrong all the time? It's amazing!!!

if that were true why do you flame every Nintendo.
in real sense i think you are a very disturb man. who can't find a wii, so instead of waiting for wii you take out your anger on the Nintendo post. to make up for your "little" short comings of not being able too find one.
thats what my common sense tells me

As for Mr. Nonsense "calling it" yesterday... this news came out yesterday!!!! Look at the source link!!!!
So now Mr. Nonsense is nothing more then a pathetic liar!

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! !!!!!!
"I was able to get a Japanese PS3 before the US launch (for resale on ebay)"
Liar. You expect people to believe that some dumb kid was able to afford a multi-thousand dollar unit on Ebay prior to the US launch? HAHAHAHA!!!!!! If that was even remotely true then your countless crying about the Wii costing $400 makes you a liar.
"but who knew it would be a hot seller"
Just about everyone.
"and Nintendo wouldn't make enough?"
Talking out your rear end again?
"Also I never go to joystiq"
Ok, so you went to one of hundreds of other news sites. Get over yourself.
"I just knew the Wii has more in common with the PS2 than real next gen consoles."
Actually, it has nothing in common with the PS2 other then a disc drive and even that it different. So this proves it, your an idiot. Oh wait, you've already proven that countless times.

Actually, I've got you in other lies, or at least one, so this is again, a lie.
"Maybe isoretard scans all the news sites daily, but this is the only one I go to. I don't have time for crap like that. It only takes me a few minutes to post here each time."
HAHAHAHA!!!!! It takes you a FEW MINUTES to post EACH TIME? Some of the CRAP you post takes you minutes? HAHAHAHA!!!!!!! !!!
"I pre-ordered a Japanese PS3 with Play Asia for $1,000 and got it 2 days before it launched here. It sold on ebay for $1,800. After fees and shipping I made $600."
BS. You're a damn liar. The proof is in MOST of your Wii posts.
"But go ahead and accuse me of lying again with no proof."
I don't need proof. Your character is badly damaged and all anyone needs to call BS on you.
"If I cared what you said, I would go away."
If you didn't care you wouldn't have posted your last post.
"Everyone? Even Nintendo admitted they got lucky with the Wii and had no idea it would sell so well."
It's called being humble. Look it up on your Wiki.
"Uhh, they DIDN'T make enough. You think they did? I guess my rear end is smarter than you."
Wow! Your level of intelligence is much lower then even I suspected. Hahahaha!!!!

"The Wii has MORE in common with the PS2 than the XBOX 360 and PS3."
The word MORE does NOT assume a discussion including the 360 and PS3. Either way your point is still pointless.
"MORE is the key word. DVD media"
I already said that. Thanks for repeating me.
"similar graphics capabilities"
Not really.
"480p max resolution"
Gee, you just named EVERY video device prior to the PS2 generation including most all devices today. Yet another brainless thought from Mr. Nonsense.
"similar online capabilities"
100% wrong!
"The main differences are the controller and the Wii costs twice as much."
You better mean today's PS2 slim otherwise you'd be WRONG AGAIN. Plus, if you did mean todays PS2 then you're an idiot. It seems either way, you fail.
Are you ready to give up yet? You fail day after day after day after.....
