Rock Band for the Wii has been the most hated child in the family. Only recently has Harmonix and the MTV Games gang been updating the Wii Music Store more readily. Now, with the added SD card functionality given to Wii owners, the store will now be updated even more, we think. This week you will see the following four bands show up in the game: Jane’s Addiction, Megadeth, the Police and Oasis. Quite a mix of song choices and you can read all the juicy details below. I am proud to say that the Wii will finally come to a fraction of the total songs the normal Rock Band store already has. Good luck Wii version, but I will guess that it will be the highest selling console for Beatles: Rock Band. Keep up the good work and stay with Ampedgaming for all the Rock Band Music Store updates in the coming weeks.

Cambridge, Mass. – April 27, 2009 – Harmonix and MTV Games announced today a monster lineup of 20 new tracks coming this week to the Rock Band® Music Store catalogue of downloadable content for Wii™ home videogame console from Nintendo, including hit songs from American metal outfit Megadeth, British alternative group Oasis and one of the most popular pop rock bands of all time, The Police.
As previously announced, Wii Rock Band 2 owners will also gain access this week to the Nothing’s Shocking album from Jane’s Addiction.
The content update to the Wii Rock Band Music Store features eight tracks from Megadeth, one of the highest-selling thrash metal bands of all time with over 20 million albums sold worldwide. The lineup includes “Wake Up Dead,” “The Conjuring,” “Devil’s Island,” “Good Mourning/Black Friday,” “Bad Omen,” “I Ain’t Superstitious” and “My Last Words” – all from Megadeth’s classic second album, Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?

The tracks from Jane’s Addiction will be released simultaneously with the weekly content update for other consoles.
