The Beatles Are Going to Rock Rock Band
Yes.
Yes.
YES!!!!
Harmonix/MTV/whoever have managed to sign a deal with the Beatles to get their songs in Rock Band. There’s a press release over here, which contains a lot of quotes and almost no information other than their music will become available in 2009?I would be shocked if it wasn’t a Beatles-specific game, much like Guitar Hero‘s recent Aerosmith edition.
Except that was Aerosmith. And this is the Beatles.
So…I’m pretty sure this means Rock Band wins. What Beatles songs are you guys most looking forward to? I’ve got to say “Lady Madonna” and “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)”?among about 100 others.
