Captain Obvious: Wii's GH3 Online Iffy
Coonskin05 | 12:49 PM on 08.31.2007 10 comments




We all know that Nintendo hasn't exactly embraced online gaming this generation. There have only been two online capable games(to my knowledge)for the Wii, Mario Strikers and Pokemon Battle Revolution, both of which are 1st party titles. So when Guitar Hero 3 was announced to have online capabilities for the Wii, a few eyebrows were raised. Apparently Jim Squires at TheBBPS.com contacted Red Octane on whether or not if online play was actually going to be available, and he got this answer “we’re working closely with Nintendo for an online solution, though at the moment we’re unable to confirm the status of the online multi-player.” This includes both online play and downloadable content. I know, no real surprise, but a big dissapointment to those Wii owners who wanted to rock out with their DLC out.

As long as I can download songs I couldn't care less about multiplayer. I HAVE NO FRIENDS.

I can't imagine the pain of entering a wii friend code with a guitar hero peripheral. But lets hope they sort it out!

@zac-If they don't get multiplayer, then they're probably not going to be able to get DLC in either.

I DID NOT SEE THIS COMING!. Oh wait, yes I did. GH/Rock Band on Wii is doomed to failure. It's only even being ported because of the success of the console.
