MTV confirms Rock Band II DLC for Wii, retracts previous statements

Last week, USA Today put up an article stating that Rock Band II will be absent of DLC downloads and Internet connectivity in the Wii version. MTV Games on the same day, however, promised fans that USA Today’s words were not true. Since then, USA Today has modified its original article and wrote instead, “While unannounced, MTV Games has confirmed that the upcoming Nintendo Wii version of “Rock Band 2” will offer the same online functionality — i.e. song downloads and Internet multiplayer modes — as the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 versions. The PS2 version, however, will not include online connectivity.”
