Ps3 – Differences between PS3 and Wii version of Rock Band The Beatles

The main difference is that the whole game is flipped, horizontally. In the Game Cube version, Link is left handed (as he was in all previous games). In the Wii version, he is right handed. In order to avoid re-doing all of the graphics in the game, they just flipped the entire game - Lake Hylia is in the southeast corner instead of the southwest corner, if there is a path to the left in the Game Cube version, it is to the right on the Wii, etc.

I recall that Nintendo stated that this had something to do with players using the Wiimote in their right hand, and the interaction with the game was odd if Link was left handed, but I'm not positive on that.

Wii and Xbox controllers will not work with the other consoles.

• The "receiver" that the instruments plug into is just a USB hub since the consoles themselves don't have enough ports to support a full band's worth of instruments.
• All 3 major consoles (Xbox360, PS3 and Wii) use USB as the connection method for their controllers, but this doesn't mean the controllers send the same signals over USB in any way.
• Wii and Xbox360 controllers do not have the same button complement anyway, so even if they sent the same signals, you'd be missing buttons. For example, all Xbox360 controllers of any size or shape must have the "Xbox" button that opens the Xbox HUD/blade thingy.
