#SuperOldGameSaturday - Rock Band Blitz (Xbox 360)
1Recorded on January 20th, 2023
In preparation for our Delisted Xbox Live Arcade Showcase Volume 1 show, I was thinking about how we could possibly be able to show off Rock Band Blitz, the 2012 spin-off of the Harmonix music game franchise that may be the one downloadable Xbox 360 game I've put more time into than any other. Of course, with its licensed soundtrack being a copyright minefield, I had to get a bit creative, but being such a huge fan of this franchise, I have non-copyright violating songs from video games, original/internet meme songs and classical music from the days of Rock Band Network that I used for this look at the game, which is actually an almost 2 year old recording. A few hours before Edwak, Nickie and I played Gitaroo Man for PlayStation 2, I'd heard that the online servers that are required for using items were turning off, so I recorded the footage you're seeing here, even though they turned them off a few days early. So sadly, this look at Rock Band Blitz is lacking the items that made it so much fun (and possible to get 5 or Gold Stars on most songs), but this still is a fun game lost to time and my way to explain how much I adore this franchise, perhaps more than any other in gaming, and go into my personal stories about it, the thousands of songs I own across this series and discussion on the 25 songs that came with this game. And now, following our recent Delisted Xbox Live Arcade Showcase Volume 1 program, I have this YouTube-only video for you to accompany that show and to rock out with. Hope you enjoy this look at Rock Band Blitz, as only #SuperOldGameSaturday can bring you and ensure that you'll be able to see (and if you like what you see here, check out our other videos here on our YouTube site and stop by https://www.twitch.tv/captainditrag/ to watch our weekly live shows, join/help drive the conversations on what we play each week and also, to see the schedule for our next show)!
