The most significant addition to the Rock Band gameplay is the new wireless keyboard controller, which features a 25-key wireless keyboard which can be laid flat on a table or held up with a strap while playing.

"With the introduction of keyboards, we get to bring a ton of amazing new music onto the platform, which will help feed the appetite for music for years to come," said Alex Rigopulos, Harmonix CEO.

The game's third universe, in addition to Amazing and Noir, will be the futuristic 2099 one.

It has been known for a while that Nintendo plans to show the 3DS in some capacity at E3 next week.
