Kotaku editor Brian Crecente reported today the announcement of fan-favorite Rock Band for the Wii. It will be in our hands June 22 this year. Notably, previous announcements indicated that we wouldn't see this game for the Wii until nearly a year after the new release date. Let's hope it turns out as good as the Sony/Microsoft counterparts.
Factoids:
Price: $169.99
Included in bundle: Game, wireless guitar, drum kit, microphone; with stand-alone instruments immediately available on June 22
Content: 63 songs + 5 bonus songs
More details to come.
UPDATE: In a response back to Crecente about the potential of DLC (downloadable content) for the Wii version of Rock Band, Harmonix representatives had this to say:
"...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."
Hopefully this means, "Yeah, someday." With the rise of online gaming for Nintendo with new hit Super Smash Bros. Brawl, we can only hope that Nintendo will see the err of their friend code-y ways, and offer more support in a Xbox Live fashion.
