Yup, it's official. Rockband will be coming to the Nintendo Wii console this June. The special edition, much like the other consoles, will include the Microphone, Guitar, and Drum kit. No word on DLC options, but at the very least the title will feature 63 songs plus a bonus 5 more.

When they say "coming soon", they don't mess around. Microsoft found a way to push the Rockband software update through certification before the weekend, and now it's blessed Xbox360 owners; oh, and you Playstation 3 users got it too. Happy Rockin!

Lots of news coming out of the Rockband camp this morning. Coming soon, a patch to fix items like; "More diverse songs in Band World Tour", "Microphone Latency on PlayStation 3 improved", "Faster loading of downloadable content", and "Revised Fan Caps". Oh, and they've added a little thing called "Music Store". "Rock Band now has a new feature that lets you preview and purchase songs from within the game!" Horray Harmonix!

Already available on the Xbox Live Marketplace, and ready to download on Playstation Network this Thursday; 3 new Rockband songs. "We Care a Lot"--Faith No More, "Calling Dr. Love"--KISS, "Roam"--The B-52's, all available for 160 Microsoft points each.

A possible glimmer of hope for Wii owners; Rock Band might be coming to the Wii after all. The guys over at the ScoreHero forums spotted the new Retail packaged Microphone which states "Wii" as one of the consoles it works with. No word from Harmonix yet; but, you can be the judge. 3rd party peripheral or Rock Band Wii release indication?

A friendly reminder; Don't forget to download your weekly fix of new Rock Band songs from the Playstation Network or Xbox Live.
Available tomorrow; " “Siva” by Smashing Pumpkins, “Working Man” as made famous by Rush, and “Ten Speed (Of God’s Blood and Burial)” as made famous by Coheed and Cambria. "
