Welcome to next gen baby. Might have to look into this. Although I already have the DC original.
Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.

Remember that nega(tive)ton that Nintendo whatever conference or something where they said they're adding subscription based infrastructure for the Wii? 8P

I hope this means Guitar Hero DLC is coming soon...I need that Muse pack.
I've seen it coming. Now I'm interested in the prices.
This is Sega we are talking about. Odds are 5:2 the songs are already on the Wii game disc and you have to pay money to get a key which unlocks them.
maybe sega will just charge for online play:lol
Is this a port?
Because I have a policy against buying ports of Dreamcast games on other systems.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo said that you can only create DLC if there is an option to specifically do it within the game, ie you can't patch it through.Originally Posted by schuelma

And yeah, wow at Samba De Amiga being the first to do this!
Kinda do not want but it's nice to see Harmonix/EA getting slapped left and right by, of all things, Sega.
i dont want to worry you guys but.... what if the content is ALREADY on the disc and we have to pay to unlock it?
just look at past games... Virtua Fighter, Phantasy star universe.. worry trend dont you think?

I thought Activision said that DLC would be coming to GH3 Wii at some point in 08.Originally Posted by batbeg

I'll pay to play That!
Announce a harddrive already.

It costs less than $150!
They did, but wasn't it a while ago? I've given up hope. After all, it would've been cheaper to patch the stereo sound issue, but they opted for a reprint, so... :( I want GH3 DLC too, trust me!Originally Posted by schuelma

This shouldn't be all that shocking to people. After all, Samba de Amigo had downloadable music to Dreamcast for saving on those tiny memory cards. Those were really cool to boot, like Super Sonic Racing, (Angels With) Burning Hearts and O pa-o pa (from Fantazy Zone).
Those were the days...

songs in Rock Band for the 360 and PS3 are so much larger than anything Samba De Amgio would require. I downloaded a few songs and some were over 30 megs.Originally Posted by Axalon

What comes to my mind is, that this would go hand in hand with the update to IOS37
Just unlock SD cards already Nintendo, its just a firmware upgrade!

Wouldn't it already be possible to use the SD card though? Brawl does for photos, I'm sure Samba could for songs provided there was a good DRM in place.Originally Posted by witness

This and make the update do SDHC cards 8GB cards are only $25-30 now. Its beyond laughable that you they haven't made it possible yet.Originally Posted by witness

This is made of win. I've actually been interested in the game for a while, and from what I just read in Nintendo Power that they have pretty much almost nailed the controls on the game compared to their last playtest when they said the controls were wonky. Also if the game has DLC I'm all for it! :D
I'm not happy until I get Alvin and the Chipmunks DLC. That game has a great songlist, despite the chipmunk voiceovers.
So this is like Maraca Hero?
It doesn't even need GOOD DRM. Simple signing would work.Originally Posted by Jazzem

The big debate about Rock Band was that there's a lot more information stored in a song because of separate audio tracks (and in the case on the Wii/PS2, Videos)

No maraca accessory, no sale. Sorry Sega.
From the title I thought you meant for free.
No sale.

yeah, I know, but do you jush shake the maracas in time to the music?Originally Posted by M3wThr33

In the original, you had a special mat and special maracas. A left and a right. Then you had to shake and pose them at different heights.Originally Posted by 666

This one is similar, but because the Wii can't detect height (Just vertical movement) it's based on how you are tilting the Wiimote.
Also, anyone can make a maraca accessory that would clip onto this.

I would guess that this would be because the 360 and PS3 versions have their songs supporting proper surround sound, which means more sound channels in the file which equals more space taken up. Wii only supports Dolby PLII, which is basically stereo stretched over more speakers, so I'd imagine they'd be smaller.Originally Posted by Linkzg

"After all, Samba de Amigo had downloadable music to Dreamcast for saving on those tiny memory cards. "
Samba de Amigo had songs that were already on the disc which were unlocked by downloading a tiny file that was saved to the memory card. The Wii version will undoubtedly be the same thing, only this time they'll be charging you twice for stuff on the disc you already paid for.

Seriously, it is that hard to believe that the Wii can play MP3 from the interwebs?

I can vouch for that. DLC for Samba Ver. 2000 was nothing more than a teeny-tiny file that unlocked something on the disc. I think it was somewhere around 32KB.Originally Posted by egocrata

I want to boot this game up 20 years from now and still have all the content...
fuuuuuck

I can vouch for it as well. All of the downloadable songs for the DC Sambas were already on the disc. All you downloaded was a tiny key file. At least on the DC those songs were free.Originally Posted by BuddyC
