Description
Band Hero for Wii also features multiple exclusive game modes for Nintendo fans that will allow living room rock stars to interact with their music and friends in a new social gameplay experience. While players and their bands are rocking away on the Wii version of Band Hero, family and friends who own Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi can update and change the band’s set list on the fly giving them the ability to experience the performance they want in DS Party Play. Nintendo DS fans can virtually live the life of a band roadie thanks to Roadie Battle mode which allows up to two Nintendo DS players to connect with two Band Hero Wii guitarists for an intense competition of navigating from one side of the stage to the other trying to sabotage opponents’ equipment while repairing any damage to their own. Band Hero also features Mii™ Freestyle Mode made popular in Guitar Hero 5. In addition, an all-new drum kit controller featuring a slimmer, more sturdy design and quiet ‘floating’ drum heads will be available at launch, bundled exclusively with the Wii band kit version of Band Hero.
Features
Rock With Your Wii – Multiple exclusive game modes for Nintendo fans will let living room rock stars interact with their music and friends like never before.
- Band Hero on the Nintendo Wii features an entirely unique Wii/DS
connectivity ability that lets more then just the band call the shots. While
players and their bands are rocking away with Band Hero (Wii version),
family and friends who own DS and DSI’s can update and change the band’s set
list on the fly giving them the ability to experience the performance they
want.
- In Mii Freestyle Mode, gamers can rock any way they want with their
custom Miis for a unique experience that connects players to the music and
adds another layer of personalization to the game. Players can jam with the
Guitar Hero controllers and create their own note tracks on the fly
utilizing multiple music genres or simply rock out using the Wii remote and
Nunchuk to “air drum.” The new Mii Freestyle Stage Manager allows DS players
in the audience to get in on the action by controlling lightshows, changing
cameras and even igniting pyrotechnics! And, for the first time, fans will
be able to capture videos of their Mii rocking out and share them with other
Wii owners.
- Nintendo DS fans can experience the life of a band roadie thanks to the
brand new Roadie Battle mode. Up to two DS players can connect with two Band
Hero Wii guitar players for an intense competition. While the guitar players
rock out on stage, the DS players frantically navigate their virtual roadie
from one side of the stage to the other trying to sabotage opponents’
equipment while repairing any damage to their own.
- For owners of both Band Hero (Wii version) and Band Hero on the Nintendo DS Lite connecting the two games wirelessly will unlock extra gameplay and content. Band Hero Wii players can download dozens of Fan Request challenges directly into their Nintendo DS Lite’s Band Hero career. Completing these Fan Request challenges will unlock awards and exclusive characters that are playable within both Band Hero games.
