Recently released for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 2, the music-rhythm sequel has always been planned for December for Wii, but what part of December that would be was unknown.

The confirmation arrived in the mailbox of Destructoid in response to retailer musings that the game wouldn't see light for Wii until January.

In fact, a precedent exists for Rock Band releases dangerously late into the holiday season. At last year's launch of the original Rock Band, the PlayStation 2 edition arrived on December 18.
