Gamefly is listing an upcoming Wii game from THQ called Battle of the Bands. Since THQ's Band Mashups is a game about ... battles of bands, we're guessing that this is an alternate title for the same product. Further evidence of this theory: the page links to Gamespot's and IGN's galleries of Band Mashups. The final, conclusive piece of evidence: THQ's own website. But is this an older title or a newer one? Did it change from Battle of the Bands or to Battle of the Bands?
As for which title is better, we're of two minds. Band Mashups is more clever, and accurately describes the major gimmick of the game, but Battle of the Bands is familiar and even iconic.

For a game like this, I think either title would do.

I could honestly care less what this game is titled, cuz I doubt I'll buy it. Maybe a rental, but it doesn't look like it would last me a very long time.

its not the same if it doesn't have a squeaky plastic guitar shell

I prefer Band Mashups, but I'm not that fussed.
I'm now going to demonstrate my high anticipation levels for this game with some wooping sounds.
Woop woop woop woop.
