No Hendrix DLC for Guitar Hero World Tour Wii Owners
Nov. 17
The good news is, if you opted to buy the Wii version of Guitar Hero World Tour last month, you're not alone. Nearly 200,000 of the roughly 530,000 units of the game sold went to Wii owners, roughly as many as went to Xbox 360 owners. So guess what 360 owners are going to get that you aren't?
It seems that Guitar Hero World Tour's much-hyped exclusive Jimi Hendrix track pack DLC is not going to be coming to the Wii due to a very strange licensing restriction.
We learned about this technical limitation a few weeks back from Harmonix. The Wii version of Rock Band 23 will not feature price-reduced bundle packs because Nintendo does not allow duplicate content on the Wii Store.
In this case, licensing restrictions from Jimi Hendrixs people mean Activision Blizzard must offer the music as a track pack and not singles. The restriction, combined with Nintendos rules, mean Wii players wont see the music.
Lame. How many people wanted GHWT because they knew Hendrix DLC was coming, and that Wii would get DLC this time?
