Rock Band Network to Shutdown on Wii


Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido),

Those of you who have been rocking out on the Wii need to prepare yourselves for less content in the future. Harmonix recently announced that the Rock Band Network will be closed on the platform. The company stated its smaller userbase and limited demand are forcing the closure.

There will be one more set of tracks on the Wii and after that, the service will be discontinued. They said that demand, and ultimately, sales, did not meet the expenses of creating the tracks for the platform.

I am not sure if this should be chalked up to poor gameplay on the platform or simply that gamers would rather play the Rock Band games on other platforms with better graphics and sound capabilities. Either way, the end is nigh for Wii Rock Bands.
