CVG has reported that the MTV games/EA/Harmonix music title Rock Band will include Nirvana’s album Nevermind as part of its downloadable offerings.
During E3 2007, MTV and Harmonix announced that new tracks will be released each week for the title, with The Who’s Who’s Next comprising the first full downloadable album.
Rock Band, for the uninitiated, is a Guitar Hero-esque title that allows the player to play guitar, sing, or play drums along with famous tunes. It is being developed by Guitar Hero creators Harmonix and features a similar interface, along with the expanded features.
Nevermind is an excellent choice, named the 17th best album of all time by Rolling Stone and bringing a tear to many a grunge-era fan’s eye. No doubt many wannabe rockers will gobble this up once it becomes available soon after the title’s release, though no set date has been named yet. Rock Band itself will be coming out for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in November 2007.
long live Nirvana memories….miss Kurt so much lol
