Rock Band 2 Wii Compatible with All Wii Instruments; Developer Apologizes for Delay
by Chris Faylor, Dec 16, 2008 10:36am PSTThree months after the Xbox 360 version of Rock Band 2 debuted on store shelves, the PlayStation 2 and Wii editions are finally making their way to retailers this week, prompting developer Harmonix to apologize for the extended delay.
"We want to apologize for the delay in getting RB2 onto the Wii and to reaffirm that we believe that Wii is an amazing and unique fit for Rock Band 2, and one that we care deeply about getting right," the company stated in an official statement.
Going forward, Harmonix hopes to release games simultaneously on the Wii and other platforms.
The PS2 and Wii editions of Rock Band 2 were co-developed by Pi Studios.
Unlike the belated Wii release of the first Rock Band, the Wii edition of Rock Band 2 is fully-functional compared to its Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 brethren. It's got online play, support for downloadable content, world tour mode, and even character customization. Downloadable content can be run off an SD card or the Wii's internal memory.

I like the WT guitar best so far, so I wanted to get that as my 'second' guitar, but until I knew they'd be compatible I wasn't gonna do it. Thanks for waiting for the last second.

My gf loves RB and plays it all the time in Japan. :-)
He asked for RB for christmas, but since I found that RB2 was coming out so soon, I got him a gift card instead so he can get RB2, as he's moving away in the next few days.
