GUITAR HERO 5 FOR THE WII!!!
Here are the new features confirmed:
- Party Play mode for drop-in/drop-out play
- online and offline competitive modes such as Rockfest
- Mii Freestyle returns alongside GH Tunes
- competitive/co-op mode that works with DS called Roadie Battle
- 8 player online support (not just two Wiis, but eight Wiis)
- features on-par with 360/PS3 versions
- no Wii system memory needed to download songs
- no in-game friend codes
- global Wii friend code for automatic addition of address book friends
- improved sound quality
- save/share GH Tunes creations through WC24
- DS connectivity for a Stage Show Manager/music video creator for Mii Freestyle
THE GRAPHICS ARE AWESOME!!
AND I ALSO THINK THAT ROCK BAND INSTRUMENTS WILL WORK WITH THIS VERSION!! (Though it ain't confirmed)
Also, IGN reported that "Guitar Hero 5 will be the first in the franchise to feature forward compatibility of songs from past games. On PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, some of the disc-based songs from GH:WT and GH:SH will be importable, for a fee, to work with GH5 and the upcoming Band Hero. What's more, currently 152 out of 158 GHWT downloadable tracks will automatically work with GH5. All of the songs you import will be upgraded to work with the new GH5 features, such as band moments and vocal star power. " Not sure whether it will support RB instruments. (Note that support for RB instruments isn't confirmed, but from a screenshot, it shows four drum pads instead of 5 as you can see in the video)

The rockband drums have been supported by all GH games from World tour up =P There's just no velocity sensitive notes because the rockband drums arent designed for that
