If there is character creation, will there be Mii support when creating your Rock Band character?
No, there will be no character creator. When developing Rock Band for the Wii platform, the primary focus was to make the core band gameplay experience as fun and solid for everyone... In tailoring Rock Band to the strengths of the Wii console, character creator unfortunately didn't make the cut.

This is dependant if the PS2 version was also rejected by consumers for being a downgraded experience compared to other versions, but we have no sales statistics for PS2 version to compare.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 5 ]bids
2@lstormy10,
If bad sales for this teach EA to spend more effort in their Wii titles, I am all for it.
If bad sales for this teach EA that they should not spent effort porting game to Wii, since it will not sell, then GHIV will be very luck, since they can have virtual monopoly on the Wii platform due to no-competition from EA (of course, they still have competition from other music oriented game on Wii).[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids
3@PyrosMagus,
So this just further confirms that EA, MTV, and Harmonix are merely porting Rock Band from PS2 to Wii and not putting really any effort into it. In other words, this game is turning into a full-on cash-in because of EA, MTV, and Harmonix seeing the success that GHIII had on the Wii. This doesn't bode well for sales for people that are less casual as they will just pick-up the title on a different platform because of how gimped the Wii version will be in comparison.[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 294 ]bids

I am talking mainly about those that do have another console would not get it on the Wii. And those on the Wii looking for a music game experience have reasons to go with Guitar Hero 3 rather than Rock Band because of the available online play and Wii-specific features built-in for GH3 while Rock Band has no such online play or Wii-specific features.
@apujanata,
I agree with both of your statements.
