Guitar Hero 3 Guitar to Work on Rock Band 2

For those of you who were curious and/or upset this might not work (like Rock Band 1)…

There have been some mixed messages in gaming press, but I’m happy to confirm that the Wii Guitar Hero 3 guitar will be compatible with Rock Band 2 for the Wii. We wanted to clarify for all the Wii Rockers that have expressed confusion regarding this compatibility, and reassure that Harmonix will continue to advocate wide-ranging compatibility for instruments across music platforms.

    Are you freaking serious? Yes! This is great news! Now I can enjoy both titles. I will buy the whole GH:WT set and get just the Rock Band 2 game. Even if I can’t use my drums and such in RB2, I can at least use my guitar.

    Not Guitar Hero 4 but 3, right? If so, DarkWish, you can’t buy the GH:WT and use it for Rock Band 2.

    @ttam – one could assume he’s already got GH3. That’s my situation anyway.

    Confirmation of WT instrument compatibility would be nice, but even with this alone, it looks like I’ll be picking up RB2 in addition to WT.

    nice!
    i hope i can use the mic and the drums as well

    @ttam: Gewurztraminer was correct, I have GH3 for Wii. I plan to buy the full band kit for GHWT and just the RB2 game. As for mic and drums, I hope so too. I believe both RB2 and GHWT use USB microphones, so I’m thinking you would be able to use it on both. I’m hoping the drums will work too, that would be awesome.

    The RB1 microphone does work for the GHWT game. I own the RB1 for the Wii, but when I tried the GHWT game only the Microphone worked!

    Will you be able to use the instruments from RB1 and they be compatible with RB2
