Rock Band 2 for Nintendo 64 CONFIRMED ... well ... not really photo

It's hilarious when other people make huge mistakes, and today's callous laugh comes at the expense of Amazon.com, who has been advertising every single copy of Rock Band 2 as a Nintendo 64 product.

Although the blunder is now fixed, the online merchant was offering N64 versions of everything from instruments to track packs. It was a full scale revival of Nintendo's 64-bit system. Just a shame it was completely fictional.

Honest mistake or the work of a Nintendo-loving Amazon employee compulsively sharing his dreams with us? Decide quickly, then hurry over to Amazon where they've just started selling copies of Crysis for the Gameboy Color!

God I hope not the n64 was junk and easy nintendo's worst console next to the virtual boy.

It would ruin the game just to be within 60 feet of a n64 and it's no sound chip DSPless hardware.

guitar hero on wii at least had stereo after you got a disc that did not have mono sound.

Not funnny amazon you just ruined my day by making me think of the n64 again that I keep buried in my closet for a reason to not look at it.

I heard you need the expansion pack though, and those are hard to come by nowadays.

I don't really like these band games. Not interesting to me at all. But I might pick up a copy if they actually did put it out for N64. Just for the novelty. They could even release expansions for DD64!

Well, Cube has lost it.


They were also listing RE5 for the N64 earlier.

The N64 is awesome. Hush.

And yes, traditionally Saturdays and Sundays are slow-to-dead news days.

I <3 my N64. My most played games are probably Gun.Smoke and Bionic Commando for the NES and Super Mario 64 for the N64.

Rockband instruments would probably break even faster on the n64 edition.
