So wait, is it official that there will be no online and/or DLC?

I couldn't care less for online (it's a frigging party game, why would anyone want to play it online?), although the lack of downloadable songs is a bit stupid.

Can anyone tell me if character editing is cut out as well? I saw someone claim so on another site, but it wouldn't make any sense at all.

It's unfortunate... The real question is who we should blame. Normally I'd say Nintendo because of their bizarrely limited and restrictive online and storage practices, but in this case it's quite likely to be Harmonix doing a rush port of the PS2 version instead of giving the Wii game proper attention.

I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

There you have: 169$

Harmonix has finally made it for-really-real official: Rock Band is coming out on the Wii. They announced today that Rock Band will come out for Wii on June 22nd in the U.S. and Canada, in a Special Edition package including drums, a wireless guitar, and a mic, for $169.99. Standalone instruments will also be available.

Rock Band will feature 63 songs, which includes five "bonus songs" -- we don't know what any of the songs are or what it means for some of them to be "bonuses." Songs that are available as DLC on other platforms? Nintendo stuff? No idea. But as long as there are songs in the game for us to play fake instruments to, we kind of don't care. We are down with Waggle Rock.

[Update: thanks to a post on the Rock Band forum from a Harmonix staffer (via Joystiq), our enthusiasm has diminished somewhat. "The feature-set is a lot closer to the PS2 version of Rock Band which was also developed by Pi Studios," according to the post. Interestingly, he also said that the peripherals don't use the Wiimote, which calls Guitar Hero interoperability into question.]

[Update 2: MTV's Multiplayer blog answers the DLC question definitively: "There will be no DLC available, but the Wii version will have the five additional songs on the game disc."]
