Wii Guitar Hero III getting DLC and replacement discs

by Griffin McElroy on Dec 8th 2007 12:00PM

It's pretty clear that the Wii version of Activision's rockstar simulator is the ugly stepsister of the Guitar Hero III family (aside from the PS2 version, but who plays those things anymore) -- it's got no downloadable content, requires friend codes for online play, is sans Grim Ripper, and to top it all off, it only transmits sound monaurally. However, Activision is not neglecting its rockers of the tiny white box, as it has announced that it will be offering remastered game discs early 2008, and will also enable DLC for the system sometime next year.

The new, stereo-enabled discs will be free of charge through Activision, though they haven't announced exactly when they'd be available, or how they would be shipped out. Also, we're not exactly certain how DLC will work on the system (our Wii's system memory is already bogged down by VC gems like Donkey Kong Jr. Math and Urban Champion), but RedOctane is reportedly working feverishly with Nintendo to figure out a method of getting new songs on the Wii. Apparently, trying to wish them onto the system hasn't been working out very well.

This article may be incorrect, I'm not sure but if GH3 is like pretty much every other online Wii or DS game it does not require friendcodes to play online, only to play against friends/create friendlists.

I doubt memory is really a problem, I bet the 3 packs of songs take up any more room then a NES game, so I mean people aren't complaining about running out of memory from VC games, so this shouldn't be a problem.
