Will ya guys look into the Wii U when it comes out.

[DeferredGalaxy3]

Even though they mostly decided what songs to port over based on what sold best on the other consoles?

Yeah, but think about it... people who buy Wiis have totally different styles than buying XBoxs and PS3s. And how come I see a bunch of PS3ers complaining about how many "crap", as they say, songs were being brought to their console?

just saying...

Because there's *****ing about DLC choices EVERY week. Is that not painfully obvious at this point?

GNF, you missed this bit.

Which is to say that Nintendo is teh kiddy!

Any belief that people who own a Wii and play Rock Band on it have such a wild variance in tastes simply isn't paying any attention at all. And expecting that HMX should take songs that didn't sell well on the 360 and then port them to the Wii in the hope that they sell demonstrably better is plain foolish.

It's just not going to happen.

The size of the Wii RB audience is possibly only large enough to support 'regular' DLC. Without Nintendo creating an XNA-style program, RBN will not be available.

In my opinion, it will not happen and doesn't need to.

[Oscarvarium]

Just to point in case anybody thought otherwise: Authors have/had absolutely zero say on the Wii situation. The OP reads like it's directed towards the authoring community but it's Harmonix you want be bugging about it (not that it's at all likely to change in any way).

[BohemianMatt]

As mentioned before, the biggest issue for WiiU users is either backwards compatibility for Wii versions of Rock Band, or a new WiiU version.

The former is likely, the latter is next to zero. Odds that any DLC will be transferred over, let alone the RBN store, very low.

Again, why?

[KarioChartsJerry]

Cause the figures for Wii downloads weren't good. I just don't think people will understand that RBN did not sell on the Wii. If it didn't do good on the Wii, why bring it back just because of a new console.

That'd be like bringing back Pepsi Crystal with a new logo and hoping it works.

[SirDavidTLynch]

Because it would presumably be easier to convert the tracks? Why do you, someone who works for an authoring company, think they shouldn't give the new system a chance to sell your songs?

My 'why' was directed at the DLC transfer. I don't expect RBN to reboot with the WiiU at all.
