| windbane said: It is not Harmonix's fault that Nintendo is limiting the online features. For everyone complaining about this and claiming you are going to get GH3 instead: Rock Band is still better and there's no DLC in sight for GH3. But then, I don't see why anyone would get either game for the Wii. GH3 has some nice DLC, too. I already have 350MB of Rock Band game data, so it's not as if the Wii is even equiped to handle such a game. Just get a better system for it...PS3 or 360. |
That's bull. As much as I hate Nintendo for their pathetic excuse for an online service, in this case it is not their fault. Online play should work just fine with the Wii. GH3 has done it since launch so there's no reason you shouldn't be able to play online with RB on the Wii.
As for DLC like others have said DLC has basically already been started in Japan with their WiiWare releases. Nintendo hasn't mentioned any extra storage options yet but it's only a matter of time. And unlike the GH3 devs who said "wait and see" for the DLC when they weren't sure what Nintendo was doing MTV has just shut the door for it.
This backlash wouldn't exist if they had just said "Well we're not planning DLC in the near future but if Nintendo can come out with a storage solution then maybe we'll look into it..." But the fact that they said no combined with no online just confirms this is a quick and dirty PS2 port. Think of it this way windbane: wouldn't you be upset if the PS3 version had gimped online to keep it on par with the Wii? The Wii should not be gimped to save developmental costs by just porting the PS2 version over.
