Start saving: EA CEO confirms Rock Band

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!! now make this perfect and include downloadable content

I could cry at how awesome this is.

I will only buy this if it gives me custom characters, the original band world tour, and online features. I don't want the shitty PS2 version.

I agree, Nintendo needs to realize that 512 isn't a big number for storage, especially with all the goodies of Brawl, Virtual Console, ect. Unless we can boot these things off of SD cards, then we really need another media solution, and with DLC and full fledged Wii games available online coming soon, we need it fast.

This is great news! I hope we can use the guitar controllers we already have for Guitar Hero. I've heard that they are not interchangeable on other consoles. And I assume the game only comes with one guitar.

Blegh, we just bought the PS3 version. Is there any chance of an explanation as to why the Wii version is late or is EA apt to keep quiet?

Glad to see this come to Wii, but I have no qualms about owning the 360 version and would definitely recommend it to anyone who owns the console. Damn thing's expensive though.

Well this is good news. I'm glad since the wii has outsold ps3 and is neck and neck with the 360 it makes total sense. I think this should have been out awhile ago(along with a hard-drive). IF! This does actually come out like everybody mentioned downloadable content would be a plus with world tour full like the ps3 and 360. The create a character too. I just hope EA doesn't piss on wii owners and give us a ps 2 port. The wii CAN handle rock band just as easily as the "next-gen" of the ps3 and 360. But i'm optimistic since i'm still strongly considering the ps3 version. But also Rock Band can use the gamecube controller ports for the drums(or usb). But the guitar can be wireless and i hope my gh3 controller could be used with rock band that would be awesome. Lastly microphone usb, gamecube controller too. I just hope it's on par with everything the xbox 360 and ps3 has then I might consider it. Here's hoping EA comes though but I'm not holding my breath.

i may get it, and if the RB guitar is compatible with GH3, sweet, i don't have to waste the $60

Damn, too late for me; I already bought it for the 360.

Oh *&^&*^% YEAH!!! Im all over this like white on rice. I was really hoping this would come out for the Wii. I've played the PS2 version, and its so much fun. But I really hope that we get DLC and Band World Tour, as well as compatability with the GH3 controller (especially since it shows up as just a classic controller).

I thought Rock Band was coming out March in Europe...maybe im just being stupid though.

OSMNESS! PURE OSMNEWSS! i just hope it has downloadable content.

Rock Band is superior to Guitar Hero in every way.

I just hope this isn't the PS2 version...because that's garbage.

Dear God,
Thank You for answering my prayer, this one will work forget about me praying to win the lottery now!

Love,
Tim

true that man, if the wii version is the same as the ps2, then im skipping. i have a ps2 but i dont want rockband for it cuz its stripped down a butt-load.i must start putting me pennies together.

I would accept ps2 graphics as long as the features of the other current gen consoles are there.
f it's a stupid ps2 port with just crappy online play then no thank you.

Plus songs can't take up all that much space. I have 24 minutes of CD-quality sound stored on my server folder at school, and its only up to about 22 MB

The songs themselves would take up more space than the actual gameplay information, because those are probably very simple code-wise

Not saying they'll do it, but space-wise, it's certainly possible for those of us with an SD card

Well I'm surprised and happy :D

I have been wanting rock band to come out for wii for a long time, now I am so happy and I hope it is out by summer, I am already starting to save up for it.

yes!
im addicted to this game at the game stores..
xD
i want it for my own but i only have the wii.
*sigh*
dont tease me..
i just nvr NEEDED a game system...but now im obsessed with it when i got the wii.


AND I NEED ROCK BAND!
its ahmazing(:
