Harmonix to Nintendo: "HDD for DLC"

After hearing that Rock Band for Wii would not have downloadable content, or possibly no online at all, I said "screw that, I'll get it for PS2." But now, Harmonix is talking about adding DLC for the Wii version. The catch? Nintendo has to put out a hard drive for the Wii.

In my opinion, a hrad drive should have been done months ago anyway, considering that the Wii has only 512 MB of storage, and since Guitar Hero 3 is supposed to be getting DLC as well, more space will soon be needed.

Of course, the outcome of all of this is yet to be seen, and there is still the fact that Guitar Hero 3 controllers won't work with the Wii version of Rock Band (I REALLY don't want to spend another $60 just to be able to play 4 player), so it really comes down to personal preference. Myself, I'm still leaning PS2 just for the controllers, but if there's for sure going to be DLC then my mind may soon change.

Wii officially a "Rock Band" groupie

It's official: on June 22, Rock Band will make its debut on the Nintendo Wii. Finally, those of us who are sick and tired of Sony and don't like 1st-person shooters enough to buy a 360 can rock out with our friend on drums, vocals, bass or guitar. It's about freaking time.

The game will have 63 total songs, including 5 bonus tracks, but unfortunately, downloadable content isn't planned at this time--Harmonix wants Nintendo to up their online service before any such content is even to be considered. In other words: we're flat out of luck.

In any case, this is great news for all of us Wii gamers, as this is a great game and will definitely provide hours of entertainment. And who knows; maybe by June 22, Nintendo will actually have online gaming figured out...nah.
