First of all, don't call it <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/03/sorry-rock-banders-no-beatles-for-you/"><em>Rock Band: Beatles</em></a>. Harmonix's John Drake and Dan Teasdale don't like it. No, in fact, this is a completely separate game. How do we know? We've read <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=282079">the latest interview</a> where Teasdale and Drake talk about the upcoming game.<br /><br />While they don't specifically say it will be on Wii, they do mention the game coming to multiple consoles and, let's face it, ignoring the Wii's base is foolish. They've been working on the game for 17 months before it was even confirmed as <em>real</em>, so they've had plenty of time to work on all versions of the game. But, considering the company's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/05/rock-band-track-pack-no-replacement-for-dlc-available-july/">inability to take the console seriously</a> in the past, should we even expect the game to release on the Wii? Or would we get another gimped port?<br /><br />Sadly, a great deal of the interview talks about <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/rock-band-2"><em>Rock Band 2</em></a>, so we don't really have much more to go on concerning this upcoming Beatles-based music game. They did say that the game would be encompassing the entire Beatles catalog, so that's something!<br /><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/04/harmonix-talks-the-game-that-is-not-rock-band-beatles/">Harmonix talks the game that is not Rock Band: Beatles</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 04 Nov 2008 18:18:00 EST.

So yesterday we <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/30/mtv-and-apple-corp-announce-beatles-rock-band-game/">sat in on a conference call</a> about the upcoming <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/the-beatles"><em>Beatles Rock Band</em></a> game. We don't have much in the way of details, other than it'll be a retail disc game and not DLC. When asked about the music in the game, the consoles it'll be on, and the interoperability between <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/rock-band">Rock Band</a> </em>and its sequel, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/rock-band-2"><em>Rock Band 2</em></a>, Harmonix, Apple Corp. and MTV Games were kind of hush-hush. <br /><br />We figured it was time we polled our readers on what they'd want in the game. Head past the break and let your voice be heard!<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/31/wii-fanboy-poll-the-beatles-rock-band-game/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Wii Fanboy poll: The Beatles Rock Band game</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/31/wii-fanboy-poll-the-beatles-rock-band-game/">Wii Fanboy poll: The Beatles Rock Band game</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 31 Oct 2008 08:57:00 EST.
