Official Rock Band premium microphone turns up, still can't save embarrassment


This one sure hasn't generated much, if any, fanfare, but it looks like those that take their Rock Band wailing (a little too) seriously can now get their hands on a new and improved (and official) microphone. According to the appropriately-named Rocker74 of the ScoreHero forums, you'll have to drop a hefty $50 to your hands on it, but for that you'll apparently get a microphone that is heavier and "definitely" higher quality than the standard issue mic. There still doesn't seem to be any official word on the microphone, however, so availability might be hit and miss for a while yet.​

[Thanks, John P]​

Update: As some of you have pointed out, it appears that the microphone's packaging says its for PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360, which would certainly be an interesting development, given that we still haven't heard anything official about Rock Band for the Wii. More on that as we get it. [Thanks, garfep]​

EA anuncia Rock Band Wii
Durante uma conferência à imprensa, o CEO da Electronic Arts John Riccitiello confirmou finalmente após meses de especulações que uma versão do simulador rítmico Rock Band, dos criadores de Guitar Hero, virá para o Wii.

Até o momento, nenhuma data ou informação adicional foram liberadas, e não sabemos se o jogo será uma versão da seqüência do título, um lançamento tardio do original, ou um título exclusivo para a plataforma.

Com o tempo todo que demoraram a sequer anunciar este jogo para a wii, mais o tempo que imagino que demore a sair, estou a perder a vontade toda de o jogar. Alias, estes atrasos que os jogos da Wii andam a ter em relação ás outras consolas (ou nem sequer terem uma versão, como o RE5) já comeca a não ter piada nenhuma.
 
Pessoal à coisa de 2 meses mandei um mail à Harmonix a perguntar se estava prevista alguma versão para a wii, eis ao fim deste tempo a resposta:

Código: 
Hey Joao,
  
 Sorry for the delay in getting back  to you.  We have been super busy with the recent 

launch of Rock Band and have  been answering a high volume of e-mail following the holiday season.   
  
 Bringing Rock Band to the Wii is  definitely something we are looking into.  

There are complications involved on  the technical side with making a port, and we want 

to make sure we end up with a  product that is just as fun as the Playstation 3 and XBOX 360 releases.  

Rest  assured, we are looking for ways to bring Rock Band to the Wii and hopefully we 

can talk more about that sometime in the future.
  
 Keep checking back with us at  RockBand.com for more info, and we’ll make news available as soon as possible.   Thanks for your patience!
  
 Rock on!
 -Aaron

Por isso deduzo que está mesmo nos planos deles um port para nós :p

Instrumentos separados vão estar a venda por altura do launch. Não ha ainda previsões para DLC content.

Cambridge, MA - March 24, 2007– Harmonix, the leading developer of music-based games, and MTV Games, a division of MTV Networks, which is a division of Viacom (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B), along with distribution partner Electronic Arts, Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced plans to release the award-winning music video game Rock Band on the Wii™ home video game system from Nintendo in the U.S. and Canada on June 22, 2008 for the suggested retail price of $169.99.
Rock Band for Wii will be released as a Special Edition bundle including the software, drums, microphone and a wireless guitar. Stand alone instruments will also be available on June 22nd for people who want to build their band one instrument at a time or want to play the drum versus drum game mode. The game will feature 63 songs including five bonus songs for Wii gamers to enjoy.

“The Wii’s success among casual and core gamers of all ages makes it an ideal match for the cross-generational appeal of the music featured in Rock Band,” says Bob Picunko, Vice President of Electronic Games and Interactive Products, MTV

“The social interaction and addictive nature of the Rock Band experience is a perfect fit for the Wii and will undoubtedly be fun for the entire family,” says Steve Singer, licensing VP from Nintendo.

Rock Band is an all-new platform for music fans and gamers to interact with music like never before. The game challenges players to put together a band and tour for fame and fortune - all while learning to master lead/bass guitar, drums and vocals. Featuring the most master recordings of any music game ever by the world’s biggest rock artists, Rock Band includes tracks that span every genre of rock ranging from alternative and classic rock to heavy metal and punk. Rock Band has garnered over 40 awards this year including Game Critics Award: Best of Show E3 2007 and three awards at The 11th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards including Outstanding Innovation in Gaming, Family Game of the Year, and Outstanding Achievement in Soundtrack.

Rock Band is rated “T” for Teen (lyrics, mild suggestive themes) by the ESRB.

Rock Band is currently available on the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and on the PLAYSTATION®2 computer entertainment system.

Q & A

Today's Rock Band for Wii announcement left us with some lingering questions. Here are Harmonix's answers [update: added answers to Mii support, 480p questions]:

Will the Wii version of Rock Band include the Rock Band Store, and downloadable tracks?
When developing Rock Band for the Wii platform, we focused on making the core gameplay experience as solid and enjoyable as possible while tailoring it specifically to the strengths of the platform. The Wii version still contains the robust four-player band experience and all the fun at the core of other versions of Rock Band. However, because the Wii's online capabilities and potential have yet to be fully realized, we wanted to wait before we explored online functionality for Rock Band to ensure that players get the high-quality of online performance they've come to expect.

Will the Wii "bonus songs" be Wii-exclusive, or five songs included on the disc from the Rock Band DLC store?
We'll announce the songs closer to launch. Stay tuned!

Will the Wii version have missing or crippled features similar to the PS2 experience?
Rock Band for the Wii will have functionality similar to the PS2 version.

If there is character creation, will there be Mii support when creating your Rock Band character?
No, there will be no character creator. When developing Rock Band for the Wii platform, the primary focus was to make the core band gameplay experience as fun and solid for everyone -- from the software to the Rock Band Wii drums, wireless Stratocaster guitar controllers and microphone peripheral. In tailoring Rock Band to the strengths of the Wii console, character creator unfortunately didn't make the cut.

Will Wii's Rock Band be compatible with Wii's Guitar Hero III guitar?
Harmonix and MTV Games believe in an open standard philosophy of hardware and game compatibility. We think that there should be interoperability between music instrument controllers across all music games. This is clearly in the best interest of consumers, game developers and console manufacturers and will only help to grow the music game genre as well as inspire innovation and creativity. Third-party developers and publishers are welcome to freely support the Rock Band peripherals in their games. Support for the GHIII guitar peripherals in Rock Band on the Wii was not possible without Activision's permission. Therefore, any questions regarding lack of compatibility with GHIII hardware should be directed to Activision. [In other words: No. Check out our updated 'Guitar Guide' for complete compatibility details.]

Will each instrument need to be connected to a Wii Remote?
The Harmonix development team considered a lot of options in creating the Rock Band for the Wii instruments. At this time, we felt that sticking with the current peripheral functionality was the best route. [Read: No Wiimotes necessary!]

Any changes to peripherals relative to the PS3/360 versions?
Check out photo for white drums!

Will the bundle include a powered USB hub, like the Xbox 360 release?
The bundle will ship with a USB hub.

Will Rock Band be widescreen, 480p compatible?
Rock Band for Wii audio will be in stereo with Dolby Pro Logic II support at launch. [The game] will also be 480p compatible.
 
Apesar de eu não ter o mínimo interesse neste jogo, espero que seja um sucesso na wii. Tudo aponta para que seja um jogo excelente com grandes hipóteses de vingar na wii, mais que em qualquer outra consola.
 
MTV Games y Harmonix han anunciado que Rock Band para Wii estará disponible en Europa el 22 de junio, aunque de momento su lanzamiento en América es desconocido. Por el momento su precio es de 110€.

Até me admira que seja 110 euros; normalmente esperava que pegassem no preço Americano $169.99 e fizessem como se o dólar valesse o mesmo que o Euro, como todos fazem.
 
Estava à espera que custasse mais que 110€. Se calhar é preço amigo para a Wii porque para a PS3 ou para a 360 vai ser 150€.
