Why wasn't rock band released on the wii? It's the type of game that would fit right in on the wii. I'm sure it would sell well too.

My theory is because of the controllers. You see how Guitar heros guitar needs to be connected to the Wii-remote, would they need to do that with the drum set and the mic. That's my guess on why there is no rock band on the wii

For whatever reason they didn't think it would sell, though GH3 proved that wrong. There are rumors they may port the PS2 version but nothing has been announced.

OBJECTION!

If you look closely at the provided evidence, you could see that date stamped on the article reads April 2nd, 2007. This could mean that within that time, the project couldve been cancelled, or they mean to bring over Rock Band 2. Case Closed.

they will probably come out with it eventually, but right now they are having trouble supplying it for the systems it is on, so they will take some time in getting another rock band on a different system announced/finished.

Guitar Hero will have it, no reason Rock Band couldn't join in.

OBJECTION! Here is evidence proving that it still isnt official and that it is merely speculation...nothing more, straight from the website itself!:

Overview:
The Wii version of the latest musical craze is still yet to be officially commented on, but word has come up, and it's worth a mention. With the huge success of Guitar Hero III on Wii thus far, we expect EA to bring this multiplayer-focused band experience to Wii later this year. Downloadable content may be tricky, but the potential for Wii-specific motions or peripherals is definitely there.

Maybe its from the lack of frontal USB ports? This reason may be completely absurd, but it doesn't seem farfetched.

They've been saying they'd add it since October but we still don't have any solid date. I doubt we'll ever get it.

Well, they probably want to wait for DLC to come out on the Wii first so they can have a game as good as the other Next gen versions.
