Forums - Gaming Discussion - Rockband on the Wii

Why do you guys want this bullshit anyways? Don't you guys get sick of playing mini-games all the time?

Um how does Rock Band have minigames?



Yea, should be an example to all the 3rd parties who still don't believe in Wii. If they keep it up, it's only money lost.



It seems like they'd eventually bring it to the Wii but i think there are a few considerations here

- People who own multiple consoles (x360 + wii for example) would simply buy it for x360 for the potential for DLC, digital audio output, earlier release etc. That's not to say there wouldn't be some deranged fanboys who'd "prefer" the wii version.
- When a console costs $250, a $200 game with peripherals is a hard sell to most people out there. That is not to say it will bomb, but if it is launched at any other time that christmas season I can't see it selling that well.
- I have a lingering feeling that online play, if included, would be nothing short of a joke. I also think it will be rated similarily to the ps2 version (low to mid 80s) as opposed to the PS3/X360 versions (mid 90s)

Honestly, I think that Rockband missed their chance to sell well on the Wii. Everyone who wanted a game like that, already bought Guitar Hero 3, and I can't see any reason to own both of those games.

Why not?  There's definitely a reason if the guitars are compatible (which they are on the 360).



EA and Harmonix originally though the Wii was going to be a failure. Development is a little behind.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

 every single one of those points was brought up to predict why the wii version of GH3 was going to fail.  we all know how that turned out.

 why would anyone predict the wii version would "fail"? my only issue with some people's predictions were that they for whatever reason thought that the wii version would outsell the ps2 version which was completely baseless as we found out.
