Activision Confirm Wii Version of Guitar Hero World Tour To Offer Downloadable Content For Wii Gamers [Utalising Wii’s Limited Storage Capacity]

Activision has confirmed that the Wii version of their Guitar Hero World
Tour software title, previously known as Guitar Hero Rock Band Edition
World Tour, is set to become the 'first game ever in the Guitar Hero
franchise to allow in-game downloadable content on Wii' just as various
software publishes are raising concerns that the Wii, in lacking a HDD
based storage solution such as those offered by the PS3 and Xbox 360, is
proving a stumbling block as far the development of downloadable content
is concened.

At the time of writing it is not known exactly what type of downloadable
content will be made available (specifically) for the Wii being that the
Wii has a mere 512MB of internal storage capacity as, whilst storage
capacity can be supplimented with the use of SD cards, the Wii will only
play ball with downloadable content if it is stored in the console's
512MB internal memory (rendering SD cards wholly redundant as far as
executable downloadable content is concerned).

Interestingly, Harmonix - the originaors of the Guitar Hero series prior
to the franchise being acquired by MTV Games - had previously cited that
subsequent Wii titles in the Guitar Hero series would not support
downloadable content on account of concerns regarding the console's
storage capabilities, so Activisiton's new statement is especially
intreguing.
