I would kill a faceless stranger to have a mic like the above image forRock Band. And, when I get the death penalty due to my utter lack of remorse, I’d demand to be buried with it.
A few weeks ago,we learnedthat the wireless microphone packaged with Microsoft karaoke title,Lips, would not be compatible with either of the major music games on the market.Lipscreator Keiichi Yan suggested that a patch from the developers ofGuitar HeroandRock Bandcould remedy that situation.
Today, MTV Multiplayerreportedthat MTV Games and Harmonix are stepping up to the plate to develop such a patch. It’s great to hear that Harmonix is putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to offering support for as wide a range of peripherals as possible.
Of course, the benefits for Microsoft should be obvious as well. Imagine how many copies ofLipsthey’ll be able to push as exciteableRock Bandplayers who will settle for nothing less than wireless rocking snap them up. Brilliant, really.
