Looks like Disney is jumping onto the Rock Band bandwagon with the development of their 'Ultimate Band' for the Nintendo Wii and DS platforms. Unfortunately, from the press release it looks as though it will be played with the std Wii Controller as opposed to an instrument one ala Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Ultimate Band is scheduled for a holiday season release this year.

Official Release:
Disney Interactive Studios announced today, Ultimate Band, an all new music experience for fans of the Wii™ home video game system and Nintendo DS™. Gamers and music lovers of all ages will realize their dream of becoming a rock legend when they build their own band or jam alone, all fueled only by the power of the Wii controllers and the DS stylus. Disney is working with some of the very biggest names in rock, alternative, popular, emo and indie rock music, allowing band mates to play sets from a broad selection of current hits and all-time rock favorites. Friends and families can rock out on guitar, bass, drums or as the front man.
'Ultimate Band invites kids, tweens and teens to join in the jam session,' said Craig Relyea, senior vice president, global marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. 'And whether they choose guitar, drums, bass or front man, members don't need to buy costly, single-function peripherals to play their way through Ultimate Band's deep song list, dynamic venues, and customizable characters. The Wii Remote™ and DS stylus are the only tools they'll need to reach rock stardom in Ultimate Band.'
