it seems that the guitar hero that redoctane is releasing on the Wii is not a port of GH2 as we previously thought, but rather an incarnation of GH3 that is slated to be multiplatform.
i hope hmxmoss can come in here and shed some light on this.

I doubt the Wii version will be any different from the 360/PS3 version. Just worse graphics and friend codes.
native wireless? possibly waggle
nothing worth buying until maybe rockband
I imagine the guitar controller will be a lot cheaper.
You don't have to worry about cords, wireless transmitters, battery slots, a motion sensor. The guitar would be cheaper to make. You'd just plug a remote in and have several vital parts. And since it would be cheaper to make it would be cheaper to buy.
Guitar Hero 3 will have the worst song selection so far.
I know this because it is the first one I will be able to play, and because I never get nice things.
Aside from that, there's no real difference between a controller that plugs into a Wii remote and one that plugs into the console. Rather than being cheaper, it would just end up having wireless at no additional cost (which would be nice).
Win.

Needless to say, it's exciting but not surprising. I hope every platform ever made gets to play Guitar Hero. :^:
I doubt it. 512 MB of internal memory and Nintendo's "can't play from SD" stance don't bode well for DLC.
The only way I can see this working is if the Wii starts letting you run from SD or a USB hard drive.
Also, you can't run VC games or Wii apps from SD.
You can, but it makes you look like a fucking idiot, since the game ships with more content than the ps2 version and has the promise of future DLC.
I just don't understand the "OMG, GH on the Wii!" reactions, since most of us, if not all of us, probably also own a ps2/3 or xbox360.
I don't understand.
If I can play songs from my SD card while playing ExciteTruck, why couldn't I do this?

What about downloading the actual code to the internal memory and running it off there, while the actual songs themselves are on the SD card, would that work?
My PS2 crapped out before Guitar Hero really hit the shelves.
I don't own a PS3 or a 360.
If you don't mind, I'd like to say, "OMG, GH on the Wii!"

must not flame...must not flame...must not flame...
no, not everyone has a 360 or a ps2. not even close to what can be considered "everyone" has the former or will by the time GHIII comes out.
why did you even mention the ps2 anyways? why not just say buy the 360 version? isn't that what you're trying to say? what with DLC and all of that. c'mon, say it. you know you want to. do it. doooo it.
That said, I can think of one reason to go Wii over the rest of the next-gen systems, and that's avoiding the $10 Next-Gen Tax. DLC will be the ultimate differentiator, though.
But see, the whole thing started because you can replace the "Wii" in that quote with PS2 or PS3, and it still is a valid statement.
The only one with an except seems to be the 360 due to DLC.
So, why try to single out the Wii?
Edit: whoops, just remembered, the PS3 has DLC, too. doesn't it?

It coming out on the Wii is a good thing for people who only have a Wii as their current gen system right now. As far as I can tell, that's a good sized amount of people on the forums.
You have to understand though, that there are a lot of people who either just have a Wii, or also own a PS2, but don't have a GH controller/game already. I'm assuming the Wii version will be better than the PS2 version.
Because streaming music is different than running executable code.
Why don't we start worrying about version specific details when.. I dunno... they get released...

What does new song data have to do with executable code?
It's interesting; in my mind, unless something spectacular is enabled (like a cheaper guitar), the Wii version generally loses its advantage with motion controls, but then the 360/PS3 versions also lose their advantage with HD visuals (because really, seeing the fretboard in 720p isn't going to change anything). The only real difference to me is the DLC available, and if nothing comes from that, shit, I'm sticking to the PS2 because I still have my two guitars ready to go.
