Anyone who has played Rock Band with a group of friends knows what fun the game can be. When it originally launched the game was only available for Xbox 360 and the PS3. EA confirmed in January that a Wii version would turn up sooner a later.

The official launch date for the Wii version of Rock Band was announced today. The game will hit store shelves on June 22, 2008 at a MSRP of $169.99. The Wii version will be launched in the familiar special edition bundle that comes with the guitar, drums, mic, and software.

Like the PS3 version, the Wii guitar will be wireless as well. Stand alone instrument controllers will go on sale at the same time. The Wii version of the game will include 63 songs, including five bonus songs for the Wii.
