public response. Basically overall forums on the internet Wii fans are pretty mad that Rock Band did not at least go as far as GHIII? Really it wont be hard for them to AT LEAST add online play; incorporate Wiimotes into instruments to have cheaper price, rumble, and speaker functionality; and please make the white instruments an optional color.DLC I can understand because stubborn Nintendo simply refuses to add more functionality to the SD card. But even that is not that hard. Put packages in the Wiiware. Its so obvious, GHIII PRs said they were going to do that. All Im saying is the way they are going about RB Wii is totally wrong. Do you think they will change?Do you think Harmonix will change its st ...
Probably not. And I hate the whole white color. Its a party game...the color white and parties just don't mix.Do you think Harmonix will change its st ...
No because the people that make that ruckus are a teeny tiny portion of their sales.What happens on sites like that and pretty much anywhere else online don't matter. That's why I always laugh at this ''you must buy this game'' campaigns here. The majority of buyers wont even know what's in the game before they get it home.
I wish they would change their minds, but they won't. At this point, its probably more profitable just to port the PS2 stuff than to go back and revamp it for the Wii. Maybe for Rock Band 2009 they will.

But I know what your saying. These Buy Campaigns dont help much but I just do it out of principle. Kinda like a lost cause is worth most fighting for. This thread is not about tellling people to cause ''ruckus'' though. I am just exploring and seeing if people think its possible that Harmonix will listen to its more dedicated fanbase. I mean its not the first time. Certainly its happened many times before. Some companies like Valve who have the PC gaming world's love and respect master in listening to those poor fools on the internet. Again I am just seeing what people think.

I put most of my thoughts onto the other Rock Band thread that is running right now, but I would like to add one thing to this one. I don't think Harmonix considers its 'loyal fans' to have missed out on buying the 'other' versions for this long. I think the Wii edition is nothing more than a 3rd party port milking.

I don't think Rock Band would have had a shot to come on the Wii if the system itself wasn't still selling like crazy. Heck, the game hardly feels like a fit on the system at all, with the price point and the way the accessories are thrown at you; I think Rock Band is one of those games that is the exact opposite of the simplicity and accessibility that the Wii prides itself on being and offering the most. Once again, you see another third party publisher/developer making a game for this system when strictly because it's much more popular and successful than they ever could have anticipated and are now trying to cash in as much as possible.

A group can play together. There comes some extra baggage but Harmonix seems incapable or unwilling to add the same simple features that are in the other one. Its like devs want their games to be more simple on the Wii so they automatically equate that with taking out features. Its the most stupid thing I have ever witnessed.

I appreciate where you're coming from but I have to disagree. I definitely think it belongs. As casual as the Wii is it's still just as much a hardcore gamers machine and Rock Band is the kind of game that appeals to both casual and hardcore gamers in my opinion. What doesn't belong on the Wii is this ''version'' (if you want to even call it that) of Rock Band. It's so bad and devoid of any substantial gaming characteristics when compared to it's next-gen cousins that I as a hardcore gamer, Nintendo fan, and professional musician take it personally offensive and as an afront to my knowledge of game design and my consumer dollar (run-on sentance like a mofo lol). This type of laziness and insult no longer belongs on our Wii. Who's with me! (warcry)
I am tired of people making the Wii a casual system I am a big HARDCORE gamer and I only had money for the great system known as the Wii so they need to stop playing around and put out some hardcore games. I am getting angry
Well I'll tell you this: I was holding off from getting a 360/PS3 because I knew that the game would be coming out for the Wii eventually. Now that we know the horrible truth, I'm either going to get the 360/PS3 version, or wait until Rock Band 2 comes out. I refuse to support such mediocrity when I know I can have better.

I second that. In fact I spent the whole of tonight researching out the other systems... again. But this time I think I have finally convinced myself.

It's not really about Rock Band being for a hardcore or casual gamer, as I know that Wii owners come in all kinds of gaming styles and preferences. That part really doesn't bother me, but what does get to me is that the game appears to have been designed for those who can invest a huge amount of money into a singular product, whereas the Wii itself was designed so that it was more affordable. That's really what throws me off with this game being brought to Wii more than anything. A game that costs $160 for a system that's $250 itself just makes me scratch my head a bit. Then, there's the fact that, like you said, the game is being stripped down from the other console versions only makes me wonder about this decision even more. I'm sure that there are some Wii owners out there that won't mind any of this at all and just want to enjoy a great game. However, I can't help but get that ''cash-in'' vibe this game is putting off. I agree that the Wii doesn't need this kind of development approach, even if it is a solid title that is worth playing for a lot of people.
unfortunately i dont think they will because the idea that u can play a game with a guitar, drum set and microphone will be enough for people to shell out the money to pay for the game
