1.1 - Story is complete rubbish

Not that it's necessary to be able to tell, but plugging headphones into my receiver it's clear that the game ISN'T mono.

Also the "evidence" displayed on that site is garbage too. If you sample the Wii Menu music over a longer period, and then display both channels on the same graph, the difference would ALSO be negligible (if at all noticeable).

Regardless of the "supposed 'evidence'", the game IS NOT mono. Anyone who believes this story is a dumb-ass.

huge disaster? fat chance. Whoever wrote this article must have forgotten that the vast majority of people who own a wii and are getting guitar hero will not care about sound quality.

How is this a big disaster when it's sold so well already and still rocks the house when playing?

somehow this does not bother me at all... the game is still fun.. :-)

and online works great so i dunno if i want good online or do i want dolby? i mean i don't exactly have a 7.1 surround sound.. just my TV hooked up to my old stereo through R/L wire.. thats all.. nothing amazing.. and as long as i get L and R i'm FINE!

not a huge blow.. trust me.. but may sway a few of the people that can't decided what version they want..

Seriously, I hate the wii. It is so lame and a disgrace to next gen gaming (even though it isn't next gen). My friend didn't want his anymore so he gave it to me. I've had it for almost a year now and almost never play it. I beat zelda and most of metroid then just put it down. Its a waste of space and i can't stand that it sells so well and people think its innovative. Its not. Its a gamecube with a new controller with little kid games. Sorry i had to get that out.

I doubt that people bought their Wii's for Dolby Pro Logic. This doesn't mean anything.

Not a huge disaster. A lot of wii owners don't have the equipment for Dolby pro logic. Otherwise they'd have a PS3 or 360.

I don't think many will care, prolly only the anal audiophiles will, but if it says dolby on the box that's wrong.

First of all, to everyone saying Mono is the same. It's not. 5.1 is 5.1 and mono, is mono. They are not the same. It's why some people dish out 500-1000$ of surround sound systems

Realistically: someone who owns a Wii probably doesn't care what the audio output is like anyways. It's not like they're worried about using sound to judge who's sneaking up to them and where gun fire is coming from. The song is the song and you hit the notes. So no, the news is not a disaster. Conversely, you get what you pay for. 250$ system, don't go even half-inpecting what the 360 can go.

People that own Wii's aren't going to care about sound. Or graphics for that matter.

This is not a widespread problem. There was just some complaints on guitar hero forums.

15 - BS

This is BS. Guitar Hero 3 for Wii has Stereo sound. How did something like this, (a damaging rumor based on what ignorant haters are saying on MESSAGE BOARDS) get approved? You know what's even worse? If it becomes a problem, and a clarification is made, half the people that read this story will likely never hear about it. But then again, the majority of people who read this are likely such haters themselves. Well have fun getting off on a lie if that's your thing... Disgusting.

16 - mono

Anything mono I have ever heard only produces sound from the left channel or left speaker. Left and right speakers would be stereo. Then theres 5.1, 7.1, and so on. So the fact that the sound is comming front left and right channel make me disagree on this one.

Mono- a system of sound recording and reproduction using only a single channel.
