Beatles Rock Band was huge, but of course there's still another in the making and this one I'm even more excited about. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a large success, especially in the older crowd who still like to think about their childhood, and in a more nostalgic way than a creepy way. Yet, now I am about to blow your minds since EA and Harmonix have just announced that the new Rock Band will be titled "Rock Band: Cartoon Theme Songs" and will possibly be released as two separate game titled "Rock Band: 80's Theme Songs" and "Rock Band: 90's Theme Songs".
If you're like me, which you probably are if you're reading this blog instead of doing better things, then you probably love remembering all the shows you watched when growing up, and probably LOVE listening to those old themes. Hell, I've seen you sing the Ninja Turtles Theme at a McDonalds once. It was embarrassing, but so awesome at the same time. So now thanks to EA, Harmonix, and MTV you can rock out with your friends to your favorite songs and not look geeky. Instead it's acceptable, since it's Rock Band!
The other part that I'm stoked for (and hardcore players are bashing) is the removal of the Bass from play in the game, since instead it's being replaced by....brace for impact....A Freaking Keyboard! Yup, finally a Rock Band where you can actually play a keyboard, which I think has been lacking from the other Rock Bands, especially when playing Boston and Journey.
Now before I let myself ramble on about how this will make up for the decline in Rock Band/Guitar Hero games, and bring back some fun and variety to it, I'm just going to show the songs that have been shown to be on the set list. Their are more to be announced, but these were the first to give us a little taste of what we'll be able to play:
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Theme
Darkwing Duck Theme
Ducktales Theme
Mighty Moprhin' Power Rangers Theme (BUCKETHEAD! I am Freaking out man!)
Cow and Chicken Theme (I'm not really excited on this one, but it'd be fun on drums)
Bonkers Theme
Pokemon Theme (This will probably get lots of guys excited)
Digimon Theme (This gets me excited, Pokemon fans might rage though)
Freakazoid Theme (Hell yes)
Pinky and the Brain Theme
Rocko's Modern Life Theme (Going to be amazing on drums!)
Spongebob Squarepants Theme (Being one of Nick's longest running shows at the moment, this is a given)
Okay, that's all they've released so far, if you really want more info hit up the official site, http://www.rockband.com/. They have a bit more coverage of it, though the release date has yet to be announced. Fingers Crossed for Christmas people! Rock Out!
Disclaimer: There is no such thing as Rock Band Theme Songs. This is so obviously faked and made up, that even I won't believe it, and I made up the lie. I will never try to convince you it's real, in fact I am admitting it is not. But if you believed me I find that funny, since I even linked the actual company site for you. Pretty funny...Basically I just thought this would be an amazing idea for a game, so I presented it, in my own special way. Also, I'd like to thank my roommate Moses for giving me the idea by so promptly saying "Dude, they should put the Pokemon Theme on Rock Band" Also, he suggested the Keyboard part. Okay, now you've been informed and can't call me a liar, or sue me. It was a joke. EA will probably laugh. Go back to your lives. See you next post.
