In a shocking reversal of previous news that Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on Wii would not have its promised online multiplayer at launch, Activision subsidiary and publisher RedOctane clarified to Joystiq that the Wii edition will have online multiplayer when it releases in October.
RedOctane president and co-founder Kai Huang apparently confused the title's decidedly present online multiplayer with its up-in-the-air support for downloadable content, presumably a result of the Wii's limited internal storage. Wii version developer Vicarious Visions is said to be working with Nintendo in its attempts to find a possible workaround.
The top-selling third-party games of all time across consoles include GTA V, Call of Duty, and Guitar Hero.

In the summer, we all do things that cool us off. That’s just conventional wisdom. But what if we’ve been going about it all wrong? What if the solution is leaning in to the heat, diving into even hotter activities to show the summer we’re not scared?
Let’s beat summer at its own game here. Whether you want to murder your way through hell or skate over it, gaming has got you covered.
COGconnected - It seems like the era of rhythm game dominance has come and gone but we argue that there's still room for them if they make a few key changes.
No we DONT need guitar hero or rockband. These games have had 7+titles each console cycle and Im tired of these being the mainstream and practically only focused on musical game.
Amplitude was brought back for PS4 yet with the tech and magic of DLC we didnt get it because not only gamers but devs have become out of touch.
Thumper impressed many and is at least a step in the right direction. I rather have more games like thumper. So screw all this rockband and Guitar hero BS! Take your guitars and peripherals and break them in half!

I preferred the patapon games but yeah. We need rhythm games to come back this gen
that what i am talking about
This is good news, I was pissed to think they lied to us. Downloadable tracks would be nice but it's not necessary, it alreday has a lot of tracks anyways.
No online was a killer for me. I wasn't going to get it when I heard that.
No downloadable content? That, I don't care about at all, unless its something they're "giving" us because the game isn't done, in which case I would go back to knowing I'm not getting it, but I wouldn't get it even if it was fixed (give me a finished game or nothing, I say).
I don't think that's the case, though, so having online, yeah, it's back to me getting it, now.
