Have any GH3 Wii owners had this problem? I searched the forum and didn't see any complaints about this even though the game has been out in the US for 16 days.
Wii owners who picked up the game have unfortunately found themselves missing one crucial feature for any music game: stereo and surround sound support. Reportedly, the Wii version supports only mono sound.
Numerous users posted in a thread on the official Guitar Hero III forums complaining that the Wii version not only doesn't support Dolby Pro Logic II—as labeled on the box—but doesn't even support true stereo sound. This is a huge problem for a game that largely revolves around music.
An email response from Activision to one of the forum members confirms that the problem is currently under investigation, but unfortunately the response states that "the time frame [for a fix] is still unknown at the moment as we are still looking into the problem."
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
