Rock Band Confirmed for Wii!

rock band wii

It’s been rumored about 3 months ago when a GameStop employee spilled the beans, saying to a customer that “it’s officially coming.”

In a third-quarter conference call today, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello confirmed that a Wii version of Rock band is forthcoming.

Riccitiello mentioned the game at the end of the call’s question-and-answer session. There was no release date given, but Riccitiello referred to the “coming launch” of a Wii version of the game.

There’s been speculation about a Wii installment of Rock Band’s since the game was announced. In April 2007, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos said a Wii-specific version of the title would be coming out in the future.

After the call, IGN contacted an EA rep for more details, but all they got was a confirmation that, indeed, a Wii version of Rock Band is coming.

There’s still no release date (let alone any word on instruments or how additional song content might work on the Wii), but we’ll let you know as soon as more info presents itself.
