With loads of downloadable content for Guitar Hero: World Tour on the Wii, including whole albums by Oasis, Metallica and The Killers, it is strange to see that the Jimi Hendrix track pack isn’t being released on Wii. The pack, featuring “If 6 was 9″, “Little Wing”, and a live version of “Fire”, was recently released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
When asked about this, Activision said:
Due to technical or licensing restrictions, the DLC offerings will not be the same for every console platform. For example, certain artists prefer to keep the integrity of the track pack rather than releasing singles and the Wii’s infrastructure only allows us the ability to release single songs as DLC.
The main question here is why can’t Wii have track packs? While we wait for an answer, Wii gamers will just have to miss out on jamming with these classic Hendrix songs.
There’s probably not enough Wii memory for track packs. No Hendrix is a bummer though.
And there’s the whole Rock Archive on SD card thing, I’m sure there’s enough room, they just don’t allow track packs to be downloaded. Hopefully we can get an answer.
