Despite previous reports indicating otherwise, RedOctane has set the record straight with 1UP. The Wii version of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock -- like all other versions of the title -- will support online play out of the box.
The confusion arose earlier in the week when ProG reported RedOctane President Kai Huang as saying "There won't be online initially for the Wii." Seems pretty clear, right? Apparently, Huang was referring to the game's imminent downloadable content; given the storage limitations of the Wii (limited internal storage, no established external peripheral), this could pose to be a challenge for RedOctane.
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock ships to stores on October 28, so start planning your outfits accordingly.

But they better find a way to make that DLC work.
lol reggie smash
Playing most things online usually isn't as fun as playing together in one room, but it's a lot easier to set up instead of trying to coordinate people showing up in one place. It's a trade-off.
Good thing you can do both! :D
Maybe if they integrate camera support on the PS3/XBox versions I could see it being SOMEWHAT cool. As is though, co-op seems moot, and versus barely seems any different than a high score board.
Now someone invite me over to play Rock Band =<
I think I will get the game since I like many of the songs and I will be able to connect the guitar to my PC for Frets on Fire. I would rather buy the DLC but if that isn't available their loss.
The Wii version is $10 cheaper than the PS3 and 360 versions (not sure about PS2)
The only thing I see holding back DLC in this game is being able to DL directly to the SD card. I mean, you can play mp3s from in while in game, so All you would need to do is load the GH songs. Shit, they could put the service on computers, and load up your SD card on the pc, and then play it on wii.
