Harmonix has announced that they will be pulling the plug on the Network services for the Wii.

Sadly, Rock Band users haven't taken to the services, which enabled musicians to convert their songs for download and purchase in game, quite as well as their PlayStation 3 and counterparts and has decided to call time on it.

The newly independent developer wrote on their official forum: "With the smaller online install base, limited demand for releases so far and the significant amount of work it takes for our producers and audio team to convert and process these additional tracks we're no longer able to continue submitting RBN content to the Wii."

The standard Rock Band track download services on the Wii will not be affected.
