The music game genre has seen a massive popularity and sales boom recently, as people are becoming more and more attracted to the fact that they can play their favorite songs, together with their family and friends and envision themselves on the stages of the most famous concert halls of the world. As such, the music game developers and publishers are bent on promoting their titles across all platforms and ensuring as big a profit as possible.
Such is the case with Harmonix and MTV Games, the developer and respectively publisher of the very popular Rock Band game. The two companies have recently released the
sequel of the game for the Nintendo Wii, just before the Christmas period and tried to attract players with the fact that they can download
20 free songs that would couple with the standard tracklist of the game. Furthermore, they will have the same online music store, similar to the ones found on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the title.
Now it seems that the store has finally gone up and rockers across the world who bought the Wii version can start buying songs at the online store. All of the tracks are currently priced at 200 Wii Points, and the first 30 songs have already gone live. Also, the 20 free songs that can be downloaded by anyone are now also available.
