USA Today says no online functions in Rock Band II for Wii, MTV Games claims the game will be “fully featured”
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
I’m sure you all remember the first Rock Band game on Wii. You know, how the game did not feature DLC, no online functionality, and overall felt like a gimped experience when compared to its next-gen counterparts. Now a similar situation might be occurring with Rock Band II. According to USA Today, the game will “not offer any Internet connectivity for multiplayer gaming or downloadable music.”
Predictably, MTV Games has responded to the rumor. Fortunately the company has flat-out denied USA Today’s comments and has noted that Rock Band II “will definitely be fully featured.” MTV Games was unable to provide further details about the Wii (or PS2) version of the game, but more information is expected to be shared in the coming weeks.

News from Level 5 Vision conference
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
– Inazuma Eleven Break trailer was show, and from what we hear, it looked to be a Wii game. You can check out the teaser site here.
– Ninokuni teaser site has opened as well
– Atamania was confirmed, which was also mentioned in Famitsu. A series of unrelated puzzle games. Sounds like a Professor Layton game without a story.
– Level 5 teased a console called ROID, but it was partially a joke. ROID will be a content delivery service when you’ll be able to download/play some of their DS/PSP games. No specific details on what games will be available just yet. They did put together a cool/funny teaser for ROID before they mentioned that the console part of it was a joke. Note the Wii in the background of the video below! So, to wrap things up…ROID as a console is a joke, but as a content delivery service is factual.

Other Nintendo titles include Knights in the Knightmare (DS, 10,000) and World Destruction (DS, 43,000).
