Amazon's 17 separate Rock Band 2 listings ... for Nintendo 64

by Ross Miller { Aug 16th 2008 at 12:00AM }

While not as funny as Circuit City's "$10,000" Madden PSP bundle, Amazon has listed every Rock Band 2 game, bundle, peripheral and the Rock Band Track Pack as coming to Nintendo 64. While we were quick to assume this meant an overindulgent revival of the best Nintendo console ever, we quickly came back to reality after we noticed the box shots were showing the correct consoles (Xbox 360, PS3, etc.). Revival averted.

This gave me a good chuckle. I'll sleep better tonight for sure.

Tiptup300 @ Aug 16th 2008 1:21AM

I'm pleased with this news. I was starting to think my purchase of a new n64 was unwarranted. This just proves that nintendo is the best at keeping platforms alive.

Ridgecity @ Aug 16th 2008 1:33AM

I know Harmonix hates Nintendo, but that's just rude.

Grey Acumen @ Aug 16th 2008 10:08AM

it would have been better if they had embedded the video of the Nintendo 64 kid.

Isaac @ Aug 16th 2008 12:09AM

I'm waiting for the dreamcast port.

David @ Aug 16th 2008 2:02AM

Count me in!

*Dusts out the old Orange Swirl*

See you on SegaNET!

KeenCommander @ Aug 16th 2008 3:33AM

Dust out? I still use mine.

Haggard @ Aug 16th 2008 2:03PM

And it looks like I'll be waiting for the regular version in Europe for quite some time.

Oh, you like shafting us Harmonix? Wow, we sure enjoy your big dick of awful publishing and retarded corporate strategy!

The-E @ Aug 16th 2008 6:03PM

actually is the dreamcast online service still working???i'm so considering buying one.....i missed it when it came out...

Glitch W @ Aug 16th 2008 12:12AM

The Fatass of Kickassness @ Aug 16th 2008 12:13AM

lol, that's kind of funn... wait are you crazy?

"overindulgent revival of the best Nintendo console ever"

I didn't see the Super Nintendo anywhere in those listings...

DBuck_Eye @ Aug 16th 2008 12:27AM

Man, Rock Band SNES would kick ass...

j.howlett @ Aug 16th 2008 1:03AM

virtual boy is the obvious choice for virtual rock stardom. you'll probably need real rehab for the headaches and eyestrain though

Shaq-Fu @ Aug 16th 2008 1:19AM

everything rendered in Super FX

and you thought GHIII looked bad

/I'd still buy it

CJLopez @ Aug 16th 2008 1:24AM

You people are crazy!!!

RockBand for Commodore 64 is the sheet nowadays!!!!!!

JeepersCreepers @ Aug 18th 2008 5:14PM

Psh. I played pen and paper rock band before computers existed.

Yourself @ Aug 16th 2008 1:48AM

I hope they would at least implement Mode 7 to its fullest... like every other bloody SNES game with something to prove.

KeenCommander @ Aug 16th 2008 3:35AM

Who exactly thought GHIII looked bad? I thought it was quite impressive, other than some bad animations.

Mode~7 @ Aug 16th 2008 4:59AM

The SNES was indeed the greatest console ever produced.

Averna @ Aug 27th 2008 7:27AM

RockBand Tour... the table top game.

*rolls the dice* Crap, messed up my solo!

Kizzle @ Aug 16th 2008 12:15AM

I'm vomiting in terror thinking about how badly all of the music would sound once it is compressed to fit on a N64 cartridge.

ph15h @ Aug 16th 2008 12:30AM

Pfft. It's 3 songs per cartridge.

juju187 @ Aug 16th 2008 12:48AM

you need an expansion pack

BananaBoat @ Aug 16th 2008 12:16AM

AWWW YEAH! Who predicted the return of the Nintendo 64 back in good ol' 2003? You people called me a nut job. You said bad things about my mother. NOW WHO LOOKS LIKE THE IDIOT?!?!

I hope the guitar comes with C buttons so I can change the camera angle. I've always wanted to play with the notes coming from the side. That would be awesome.

Everyone at the Nintendo 64 fanclub is going to be so freaking elated at this news. Sure it's down to me and my extremely fat childhood friend who still lives with his mother, but dagnabbit, we're probably going to have no trouble getting new members after this baby drops.

YEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWW

Jerk Face @ Aug 16th 2008 1:38AM

Sooooooooooooo....

I hurd you liek mudkipz?

Vault @ Aug 16th 2008 2:52PM

Neebs @ Aug 16th 2008 12:16AM

Imagine having RB on the SNES, using mode 7.

Kspraydad @ Aug 16th 2008 12:17AM

Can you imagine, you'd probably have to download new content on an SD card or something.

LaughingTarget @ Aug 16th 2008 12:21AM

I'm waiting for the Atari 2600 version.

GoldenS1104 @ Aug 16th 2008 12:33AM

Is this good enough?

Chase @ Aug 16th 2008 5:45AM

If you don't use the Expansion Pack, the world will explode.

Faptor @ Aug 18th 2008 4:42PM
