Rock Band Confirmed for Wii

By Shawn White / Thursday, 31 January 2008
Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello confirmed the existence of a Wii version of Rock Band during a third-quarter conference call today. He mentioned the version's "coming launch", but cited no details pertaining to release date, price or Wii Remote usage.

Although Riccitiello's statements provide the first official confirmation, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos stated last April that Rock Band would eventually appear on "every [major] platform," adding his view that "the [Wii Remote] is something that holds enormous promise."

Rock Band allows up to four people to join a virtual band and play using a guitar, drums or microphone modeled after real-life counterparts. The game released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 20, 2007 for 169.99 USD. The PlayStation 2 version released later, on December 18, for 159.99 USD.

The Wiire will have more on the Wii version of Rock Band as details become available.
