Wii Guitar Hero III gets no online initially [Update]

This reminds me of when GH2 was released for the XBox 360, and Red Octane stated there would be no online 'initially', and said this sort of thing could be patched in down the line.

Long story short, online support ended up under the pile of DLC that was promised for this game.

Three minutes! You're lagging a bit there, shaggi. You can jam that F5 key faster! ;)

Same here, I'm sticking with the guys who made GHI and GHII, I don't care what the game is called.

I got sick of your approach to posting and ate a Gardenburger.

Gardenburgers are better than you.

I prefer Boca Burgers, myself.

It really does look like once again Nintendo fans will have to put all hope on first party titles. To me the Wii went from fun to gimmick just a little too fast.

I feel for the long time Nintendo fans but I know that they are blissfully unaware with not a care in the world about any of this stuff. As long as they get a Metroid titles, a Mario title, and two Zelda titles in the next 7 years they will be more than happy.

I sound like a troll, but perhaps I'm just bitter that I've seen Nintendo play this hand perhaps a few times too many.

"I sound like a troll, but perhaps I'm just bitter that I've seen Nintendo play this hand perhaps a few times too many."

Damn them having too many good first party franchises! How dare they go out of their way to prevent 3rd parties from making games for their console!!!!!!!!!!

You haven't played the DS have you? If they can pull that silly thing off they can pull the Wii off. Wait 1-2 years when fully developed games start coming out before you judge it (same should be said about the PS3 too). Right now Wii is in the same position that the DS was in it's first year, few games and the games that use the new input are either tacked on or gimmicky with one game that really shines and improves the input of genre it's from. DS was a gimmick until it was proven, the Wii is still a gimmick with titles just starting to come out and prove the new input is more than a gimmick.

mr nimblewick, whether you realize it or not, you're just as much of a troll as all the other trolls on this site.

"mr nimblewick, whether you realize it or not, you're just as much of a troll as all the other trolls on this site."

No way man! No way!

I'm rubber and you're glue!

@ elmersglue,

yeah they patrol the comments looking for anyone that says anything negative about their console of choice or any of its paraphernalia or media; and bash them. there are quite a few of them. the SDF, the NDF, and the DW?RROD?ITAYG?F. they stand for "sony defense force", "nintendo defense force", and "defend what? red ring of death? is that all you got? force"

"yeah they patrol the comments looking for anyone that says anything negative about their console of choice or any of its paraphernalia or media"

Don't forget the people who bash the systems in the first place...

By your definition, is it trolling to defend a system as well as bash another one? If so, just about everyone who posts is a troll.

they also feel the need to quote you in full, all the time.



Re: Mr. Nimblewick,

"By your definition, is it trolling to defend a system as well as bash another one? If so, just about everyone who posts is a troll."

Sort of. A troll is someone who "paTROLs" a blog, looking for every ... single ... possible ... instance in which they can put their two cents in over and over and over and over and over ad nauseam to incite, or reincite more statements of similar nature. usually to help themselves battle buyer's remorse, or other insecurities. to respond to every negative comment about the wii is just plain retarded. wii bashers wouldn't exist if you didn't let them. but you give them an audience, and a reaction every time. you clog up the comments section with garbage, making them unbearable to read. all for what? plus, you take all the wii bashes to heart ... seriously, why should you care if someone makes fun of a wii? my blood pressure doesn't go up everytime someone shits on 360.

I'll see your 127 and raise you 162.

1,000,000 Comments! BWAHAHAHAHA!!

168. If it's equal to or above I win.

127!

I predict 128 comments. All with Mario avatars.

. . . which means it'll never happen.

Drat. Guess samfish wins.

Given that Wii has ZERO capability for patches.. you would be right. They will probably make you buy another version for online play.

Wii has just as much capability for patches as the 360 or PS3 has. The big shocker is that Wii hasn't NEEDED it, except for Madden '08, because of good QC.

Don't worry. There are plenty of other Nintendtrolls who're more than willing to do it for you.

You haven't truly arrived as a fanboy troll until you start making lists of games.

"Guitar Hero is way too complicated for the Wii demographic.."

Since the Wii is targeted at everyone, I would say the game makers are in trouble.

Seriously, go kill yourself.

I mean how pathetic must your life be if the only thing you do is troll on blog sites and talk shit about the Wii. Seriously, it's sad.

and last time I checked, Guitar Hero is considered a casual game.

I bet everything you want that I can play Guitar Hero better than you... in fact... I dare you, here, in presence of Joystiq readers...

Do you accept?

So if it's true that Metroid sold over 400,000 copies last week, will you retract you comment about the Wii's demographic?

I doubt fattie will buy the Wii version of GH3, and I doubt the Wii version will ever have online play so that sounds like a pretty safe bet fernando.

I mean here... lest record a video to see who gets more points.

Ok Im sending my video to youtube, its of me rockin out to Psychobilly freakout. Im only 8 so look for "8 year old psychobilly freakout expert" on you tube and you'll find me.

Im just going on observation... the kiddies and grandmas waving their wiimotes aimlessly AND winning in Wiiboxing are going to be confused.

GH takes skill and practice.. something that is the casual gamer does not care for; they want instant gratification and to be able to 'win' right away.. ala WiiSports and minigames.

News Flash: Guitar Hero is really fucking popular with the casual crowd.

I'll be picking up the "fake" PS2 version to go with the guitars I already have... It's a party game! Online will just make it another sad, antisocial experience.

Word

Truth.

Seriously Guitar Hero doesn't need online play to be fun(though it would be nice).

"Seriously Guitar Hero doesn't need online play to be fun"

Technically, neither does SSBB.

But if that doesn't have online play, expect so much shit to hit the fan that it'll literally change the fan blades at a molecular level resulting in a fan that creates it's own shit to hit and fling outward into the universe.

samfish, you're my hero.

LOL at Samfish's comment. That was awesome.

And true.
