Just got off the phone with folks from Harmonix, EA, MTV, Rhino and Universal, lots of interesting Rock Band tid-bits came out of the call, but I wanted to throw this one thing up quickly, if for no other reason than to put Wii owner's minds at ease.

The Wii was conspicuously absent from the Rock Band announcement this morning and during the call Alex Rigopulos addressed the concern that Nintendo gamers may not be getting their band on.

Absolutely, we will at some time bring Rock Band to every console of significance and in doing so we will customize and tailor the play experience to take into account the weakness of the console and the strengths of the consoles," he said. "I think (the Wii) is something that holds enormous potential for music games."

While that's not 100 percent, it sure sounds like they plan on a Wii Rock Band down the line. I think the reason it wasn't announced is because they're going to want to totally revamp it for the Wii and making the game for the PS3 and 360 is similar enough that that isn't an issue.

Stick around for a full story on the nearly hour-long press conference. Brian Crecente
