Probably one of those reasons is because it isn't even made by the same developer and instead that developer is working on Rock Band.

I suggest new players skip the Easy setting unless you really, really, really suck, because it doesn't even feel like you're playing pretend guitar at that level. If you're good at rhythm games, you might even want to skip straight to hard so that, unlike me, you don't have to unlearn how to play on medium. I've learned to associate the patterns on screen with my fingers instead of with positions, so I can't handle hard mode with its extra button. Of course, all this assumes that they continue to use the same settings as the previous games.

Doubt it, really it seems like GH is one of those series of games where people buy the newest edition and forget all about previous ones.

Dunno. Since there's no downloadable content available for the Wii version then a port would be the only way to get your hands on the older songs (unless they are already included with #3).

Anyone heard if the Wii version gets special content? We know about the Wii-specific features that come with the Wiimote - wireless, tilt-sensing, sound effects - but this is the only time I've heard about possible differences in content.

And yet, you spent over 300 dollars on a DDR hard pad :P XD .
Just kidding, but there's no denying we had a blast with the bongos.
As for GH III Wii I hope it does well despite some setbacks. I want third party games to do well on the Wii.
And that website lists Mario as a playable character on the Wii version! O.O
I think its BS. Either its the best kept secret or its total bull because websites would've reported it by now.
It wouldn't surprise me, though. Mario's already been in Basketball and Winter sports games, so being in GH wouldn't be that shocking.

I don't see why downloadable content couldn't be released in the future on WiiWare. To date the only announcement regarding DLC in GH3 on the Wii has been "it won't have downloadable content initially."

And that's no guarantee it will appear, either.

It's pretty clear from that statement that they would like to release DLC for the Wii version.
