As someone with the 360 version of Rock Band, this doesn't affect me personally, but I really wish the Wii version had the capabilities of the other "next-gen" (current gen) systems.
Band World Tour needs to be in there. No excuse for it not to be. 4 players jamming out together in quickplay is awesome. 4 players forming a "band" and pretending to tour the world while earning stuff and unlocking new arenas to play in is even more fun. It's rather astonishing to me that the Wii is getting the PS2 version of the game, seeing as it has the largest install base and the possibility of selling the more copies of the game than any other system, since it's a "casual" enough game to be right in the Wii market's wheelhouse.
No DLC is just as ridiculous. Nintendo has dragged its feet in the online arena for far too long. The throwaway effort they made on the Gamecube set them up to do little to nothing online with the Wii. The online gameplay itself isn't terrible (SSB and Mario Kart being examples) but the runaround required to do so (friend codes, I am looking in your direction) is completely counterintuitive. Sure, nobody wants to see kids victimized via the interwebz. Hampering the entire online experience for everyone who owns the system over one very small chance of something happening (which should be the PARENTS' responsibility to police in the first place) is just a terrible way to appease your customer base.
Here's hoping Rock Band 2 will rectify the situation, and maybe at some point Nintendo gets its head out of its ass in the online arena and provides a cutting edge online experience rather than a console equivalent of using my old 1997 AOL browser.
The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.
