No Hendrix DLC for Wii
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.
Unlike the fake list ‘revealed’ some time ago, this one has come from Activision themselves. The list of 86 master tracks is quite impressive, and not just for its size, featuring artists such as Bon Jovi, Jimi Hendrix, Ozzy Osbourne, and Ted Nugent who will make an appearance both as a playable character and a guitar duel opponent. Nugent brings his song “Stranglehold” to the party.
Even though it’s been out a while now, Ultimate Nintendo’s 4th issue is just as applicable now as it was when it was released. In this issue, you’ll find a world exclusive preview of Dead Rising for Wii, and a hands-on feature with the upcoming Lego Batman, not to mention the wealth of other previews. In the reviews department you will find Lego Indiana Jones, Alone in the Dark, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Guitar Hero: On Tour and many more.
