I was so excited when I learned that Rock Band would be released for the Wii this June. But, as I feared, it turns out that there will not be any downloadable content for the Wii version of the game, just as there wasn’t for Guitar Hero 3:
“When developing Rock Band for the Wii platform, we focused on making the core gameplay experience as solid and enjoyable as possible while tailoring it specifically to the strengths of the platform. The Wii version still contains the robust four-player band experience and all the fun at the core of other versions of Rock Band,” said Harmonix in a statement. “However, because the Wii’s online capabilities and potential have yet to be fully realized, we wanted to wait before we explored online functionality for Rock Band to ensure that players get the high-quality of online performance they’ve come to expect.”
So for now, I’ll pass. To be completely honest, we don’t really have room for the drum kit in our condo anyway. Fortunately, we have the game at the office, so I can still satisfy my rock cravings. And when I do decide I just have to have Rock Band, I’ll know that the time has finally come to purchase (1) an Xbox 360, and (2) a house.
