News : Rock Band 2 for Wii Official site shows delayed until 2009

Just would like to update to my fan. The official Rock Band site now lists a new, and delayed, January 2009 release date for the Wii version of Rock Band 2.

The Rock Band brand, already in some hot water with NIntendo Wii owners after a late to the game feature lacking port in 2007, won’t be winning anybody back if a Rock Band 2 delay listed on the game’s official web site comes to light. Other retail sites still list Rock Band 2 for the Wii with a November 16 and 17 release date. They include Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, and Walmart.
