Wii Music will be released in Japan on October 16 and will be priced ¥5080 (around $47).  Some people already think this is a little expensive for the game.  But in defense Wii Music it has over 60 instruments and around 50 songs.  I honestly don’t think I could name 60 instruments.  Hopefully,  release dates for other regions of this game will surface soon.

I feel really bad for everyone in the Land Down Under.  Smash Bros. Brawl just recently released in Australia, and I’m sure people are excited out of their minds!  I need to pick Brawl up again and play some this weekend!

Continue Your Rock and Roll Fantasy

Rock Band 2 lets you and your friends take your band on an even more expansive and immersive world tour - in person or online - and continue your rock and roll fantasy.

Harmonix, deliver Rock Band 2, the next step to the platform that lets audiences of all ages interact with music in an all-new way. Rock Band 2 lets players vicariously jam out as some of the best guitarists, bassists, drummers and singers of all time.

Featuring a track list with more than 80 on-disc and downloadable tracks from some of the most hallowed bands of the rock pantheon, Rock Band 2 by challenges rockers to master lead guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals.

Key Features

* Take your band on an online-enabled World Tour mode, record albums, tackle the addictive Set Challenges, or even compete against other bands, either in your living room or halfway across the world, in the “Battle of the Bands” mode… plus all of the modes you know and love from the first Rock Band game!
* Rock Band 2 will ship with 2nd generation hardware: more durable, wireless drums with an expansion port to support cymbal pads and improved wireless Fender Stratocaster guitars - with multiple colors - that will let you rock harder and longer then ever before.
* Rock Band 2 pushes music simulation farther than it’s ever gone with a tool that actually teaches you how to play the drums in real life - or you can just have fun jamming and playing along to songs like an animal in the Freestyle Drum mode.

Hopefully this all comes in the Wii version of the game.  It would be dumb to not have DLC and online play in RBII since Guitar Hero World Tour will have both those features (I think they’re using the SD card for DLC).
