Rock Band, with all of its goodness is a memory hog - Wii owners, the majority would get a rather gimped version of the game like the PS2 version - which has no avatar functionality, no online MP, no DLC. And that's the key of Rock Band - DLC. With a very limited built-in flash card (512mb) the DLC would be severely limited, or non existant for Wii owners. They could always upgrade their systems with bigger drives which would be important - but would alienate core users. So its kind of a "darned if you do darned if you don't" situation with Harmonix and Rock Band - either give no DLC, or give huge-sized DLC (songs are 30mb-60mb each) and render Wii flash drives useless. Hopefully EA can indeed sort this out, as Rock Band would be very profitable. |
Why would it have no online MP? You do realize GH3 for the Wii does have online MP, right? And there's no need to limit downloadable content when you can use a 2 GB SD card.
The PS2 has no standard internet connectivity, no internal storage, and extremely small memory cards. The Wii has none of these issues that would prevent Rock Band from being online. I don't know why people continue to insist that the Wii can't do these things when it has already done them.
