Hot off the presses game developer Harmonix has just announced Country Band! This is a followup to the wildly popular Rock Band franchise. The new game will feature an all new set of wireless instruments including a banjo, fiddle, brown jug, and washing board. The official artists have yet to be announced but are rumored to include Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, The Dixie Chicks, Waylon Jennings, and Carrie Underwood. There of course will be plenty of downloadable folk classics as well. The publisher will be CMT this time around where as MTV was Rock Band’s. Two new exciting features that will be new to the franchise will be dueling banjos mode and shindig blow out. The Wii is rumored to use the fit board for some square dancing action. You’ll be able to grab your partner and doe see doe this winter.

Yeehaw! I can’t wait to commence the jigglin’!
Oh sweet nectar! Nothing more exciting that sticking your wii-mote into a brown jug for Country Band. The problem is, do country fans actually play video games? I think not. It does however give yuppies a taste of the hillbilly life.
