Concerned that Nintendo's apparent aversion to third-party online play wouldn't mesh well with Guitar Hero III's online multiplayer, Bits, Bytes, Pixels & Sprites got in touch with Red Octane just to make sure everything was a-ok with the Wii version. It wasn't:

[W]e’re working closely with Nintendo for an online solution, though at the moment we’re unable to confirm the status of the online multi-player.

The same apparently holds true for downloadable content. Previous versions of Guitar Hero have gotten along just fine without DLC or online play, but given the choice, who would want to go with the crippled version?
