We just announced on Friday that we’ll officially be shipping out the Wii version of Rock Band 2 on December 18th. This is just 2 months after our September 14th launch on Xbox 360, and we’re really pleased with the game we were able to put together.
As most of you know, we’re avid readers of our forums, and we place a lot of stock into what our fans think. We’ve seen that many users in the Wii community have been unhappy with the period of time between Rock Band’s release on other platforms and on Wii. We want to apologize for the delay in getting RB2 onto the Wii and to reaffirm that we believe that Wii is an amazing and unique fit for Rock Band 2, and one that we care deeply about getting right.
This is the first Wii Fit 3rd party balance board.
