RBB for WiiWare

[HMXMister_Game]

This works. But doesn't that mean we've got a few forced 'double-dips' in storage space since the trial songs are also in the package?

Yes, just a few. It was still the best solution.

Who are you to make us download the same song twice?

It's an utter travesty!

[GNFfhqwhgads]

Fine with me, I've got 88GB left, 90MB isn't gonna hurt anyone.

So what's the deal with this? Are the Rock Band Blitz songs going to be DLC for Wii, or will RBB become WiiWare? I must play some of these songs!

[SirDavidTLynch]

They've said that they have no plans on making Rock Band Blitz for WiiWare, and nothing has been said since then, so...

[Mileycyrussoulja]

Oh great. But I mean, they have to give these songs to Wii users eventually to be fair. I mean, come on.

[Santa Claustrophobia]

Just like they have to give Wii users all those free songs that Nintendo won't let them give Wii users?

You want Blitz? Get Nintendo to change their file size restrictions. Maybe that happens for WiiU. Maybe it doesn't.

Nintendo doesn't seem to care much about 'fair'.

Never mind the exports for anything outside of RB2 and Green Day, or 99% of RBN, or even the full version of 2112.

The second problem has to do with the control scheme. What buttons would you assign to play RBB (it needs 4) that would make any sense whatsoever and be comfortable to play with the standard nunchuck + Wiimote combination?

There are several WiiWare games that require the classic controler, which would work just fine.

The barriers are not the controls, but a combination of sales, and hardware ability to support the game. My guess is that if it can make it to the Wii-U, it'll go there (assuming RB3 works on the Wii-U), and if it can't, Wii folks will get it as a DLC pack for $20.

(assuming RB3 works on the Wii-U)

Why are we assuming a Wii game works on a console that has confirmed backwards compatible support for controllers AND games?
