Rock Band 2 Wii DLC is coming 'early in 2009'


The long-fabled capability of the Wii version of Rock Band 2 to download new tracks is regrettably tardy -- when the feature was confirmed in October, it was promised to arrive in unison with the Nintendo-fied rhythm title. However, purchasers and holiday recipients of the game have likely already discovered that no DLC is currently available, leading to an onrush of hatespeech on the Rock Band community forums.

Harmonix quickly swooped in to ease the frayed nerves of the inflamed masses -- they promised that the content is "in the final testing stages" and will be available "as early in 2009 as possible." Coming in the first salvo of tunes is the free 20-song pack that Rock Banders enjoyed earlier this year, as well as 30 downloadable tracks from the original Rock Band DLC library. We might be able to find it within ourselves to forgive the delay -- but only if Buffett makes the cut.
