The Rock Band Game and Accessories Super-Post

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

I went looking for some Rock Band accessories links last night, and I figured that it was time for someone to do an all-inclusive post of the gear available for Rock Band for Wii.

It’s time for that post.

There is, of course, the Rock Band for Wii Special Edition - including the guitar controller, drum controller, microphone, USB Hub and game software.  This seems to be a pretty big seller right now.  You can also purchase just the game disc as well.

The Rock Band Track Pack, Vol. 1 is available for pre-order, to be released on July 15.  This includes:

  • 30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill
  • All-American Rejects - Move Along
  • Blink-182 - All the Small Things
  • Boston - More Than a Feeling
  • David Bowie - Moonage Daydream
  • Faith No More - We Care a Lot
  • Grateful Dead - Truckin’
  • Hives - Die, All Right!
  • Kiss - Calling Dr. Love
  • Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps
  • Nine Inch Nails - March of the Pigs
  • Oasis - Live Forever
  • Paramore - Crushcrushcrush
  • The Police - Synchronicity II
  • Queens of the Stone Age - Little Sister
  • The Ramones - Teenage Lobotomy
  • Smashing Pumpkins - Siva
  • Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song
  • Weezer - Buddy Holly
  • Wolfmother - Joker & The Thief

You’re also going to need to know about the game accessories and must-haves:

The Rock Band for Wii Drumkit

The Rock Band for Wii Guitar Controller - remember, the Rock Band and Guitar Hero controllers are NOT - I repeat, NOT COMPATIBLE.

The Rock Band for Wii Microphone - These are from Logitech, and IMHO they have THE BEST accessories out there.  Logitech’s Playstation 2 wireless controllers are the finest I have had the pleasure of using…  and funny enough, in writing this article, I just discovered that they’re ten dollars off right noe.  SO if you also appreciate PS2, go get these.  I highly recommend it.  I have had mine for two years, and they’re still solid.  I am assuming that their Wii Microphone will hold up to the same scrutiny.

Rock Band for Wii - Light-Up Drumsticks!  In Blue or Red.

3-in-1 Rock Band/Guitar Hero Kit - this accessory has a gig bag for your guitars (with lots of pockets), a guitar controller strap, and a guitar stand.  It’s good for your Wii Rock Band OR your Wii Guitar Hero pleasure.

The Rock Stand - a 2-guitar controller stand for Rock Band for Wii or Guitar Hero for Wii.  You can also use this for controllers for PS2, PS3, and XBox, but WeKnowWii here, so you can imagine which we’re gonna use it for…

For you roadies out there:  The Rock Icon guitar case.  This case is an aluminum road case for your Rock Band or Guitar Hero guitar controllers, your came console, games, cables, and the kitchen sink.  For the true die-hard traveling player.  It’s also on sale right now.

Last but definitely not least…  Rock Band for Wii Drum Pad Covers.  These pads reduce noise by up to 50%, and are easy to remove and apply.  Get them fast though, they’re ridiculously popular, and have been in and out of stock for a while.

WeKnowWii.com hopes that this helps you.  We’ll be updating as soon as we find new stuff!
