News \ Rock On!: Rock Band Control schemes and mini-preveiw

Nintendo Power's newest issue has a 3-page preveiw for Rock Band Wii. It introduced control schemes for the guitar(s), drums, and mike. As well as some special Wii-exclusive songs.

Guitar:
- A looser pick then the GH3 guitar so you have to do more up and down strumming to hit close notes

- Has the traditonal green, red, yellow, blue and orange buttons but placed too the side

- A switch is added to alter the gutiars sound like echos.

- Isn't compatible with the GH3 controller and vise-versa

- Unlike GH3 were you insert the wiimote in the guitar all you need to do is plug s widigit in the USB port.

Drums:
- 4 drum panels like in the or=ther versions red, gyellow, blue and green in that order.

- Adjustable size whether your big or small.

- Kick pedel to get some beats in

Microphone:
- Similar to the one you'd find in games like HSM: Sing It or Sony's Singstar

- The cable connects in the USB port.

-Consider an optional microphone stand sold seperatley if you want to sing and play guitar or drums

For All:

- Since there are only 2 USB ports in the Wii a (USB Hub is included with the package.

The Wii features the same songs as the other versoins butan additonal five songs were also added

- The Police "Roxanne"
- Ramones "Rockaway beach"
- All American Rejects "Dirty Little Secret"
- Oasis "Don't look Back In Anger"
- The B-52s "Roam"

There is also the 58 original songs. Making a grand total of 63 songs.

5 extra songs is kinda crap considering the playstation and 360 versions get whole albums as the dlc

Sounds good, but 5 extra songs don't make up for the lack of DLC.
I'll be getting the 360 version
