Today I visited MTV HQ at 1515 Broadway in Times Square in the great city of New York for a demo of Rockband 2 for the Wii along with Rockband AC/DC Live. I am by no means a Rockband player, I have played it once or twice and sucked big time but I kind of enjoyed the hands on Demo that MTV and Harmonix gave me today.
Rockband 2 which is already out for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 won’t be released for the Wii until December. When Harmonix was asked for the reason of the delay, we were told Hurricane Ike was to blame along with getting it to work properly with the Wii. They also mentioned that in the Wii version of Rockband 2, if you watch the photo credits for the game you will see a thank you to Hurricane Ike. So the rumors that Nintendo forced Harmonix and MTV to delay the launch because of Wii Music are false.
