Guitar Hero coming to the DSDVDBack23 @ Mar 21, 2008 22:17 | 25 comments
The new game, "Guitar Hero: On Tour" will include a plug-in accessory (pictured later) and a mock guitar-pick that will allow gamers to strum on the bottom screen.
There was no price point set yet, but Activision says the game will hit retailers in June or July. The average Nintendo DS game costs $30 USD but gamers can expect GH: OT to cost around $50 because of the peripheral.
The blockbuster franchise has made over $1 billion USD since its launch in 2005 and the DS is the best selling gaming hardware for the last few years. The combo could be lethal.

Comment by: redux79 (Mar 21, 2008 22:56) This thing looks ridiculous! Certain games just aren't meant to be ported or made for hand helds. How exactly are you supposed to hit the buttons, strum the bottom screen and watch what the **** your doing on the top screen?!! |

Comment by: 21Q (Mar 21, 2008 23:00) I actually saw an ad for this earlier today. I'm nothing special at the game but I do enjoy it. I think I would buy it. |

Comment by: WierdName (Mar 22, 2008 01:21) All I can say is "wow..." Personally, I don't like Guitar Hero. To me, it just seems like a guitar player wannabe game for those that would rather feel like they're playing just by hitting 5 buttons and strumming a wheel instead of actually trying to learn to play for real. Also, I'm surprised I haven't seen anything about that Gibson/Activision Guitar Hero patent lawsuit on here. |

Comment by: z3rofate (Mar 22, 2008 12:03) "wierdname". that lawsuit looks really bad. By bad i mean has no purpose. How can you sue someone because they use a different kind of technology to entertain people that is similar to another kinda, eg videogames and music. Whats your thoughts on this? |

Comment by: WierdName (Mar 22, 2008 19:35) Originally posted by z3rofate: I was more or less meaning the fact that the lawsuit is even in existence. Personally, they patent could be applied to quite a bit more. It's pretty sad so see them (Gibson) trying to sue a bunch of people like that. They make good guitars but I don't see why they can't just let video gamers play their little Guitar Hero game. |

Comment by: navi1199 (Mar 23, 2008 05:34) The Guitar hero ds game, that layout looks stupid for one thing... but who knows it might play well.. although I don't really have big hopes for it going anywhere... nor do I intend to waste my hard earn cash on it. You better have good headphones cause the ds speakers amongst every other portable hardwares have shitty speakers. |

Comment by: matt87622 (Mar 23, 2008 05:42) ok there are good ideas and there are bad ideas, these companys need to learn how to tell the difference and stop spewing out games on impulse. exactly who is this targeted toward? im guessing 9 and 10 year olds that want to be like there older brother. wow why would you want to even try and use the stylist for this? |

Comment by: erenix (Mar 23, 2008 05:59) If Nintendo had a shoulder I'd sock it for coming up with this game. The chances are even greater of seeing a kid looking like a lunatic on the street. <img alt="http://g.purevolumecdn.com/cdnImages/full_size/Artist-99163528-2135015.png" src="http://g.purevolumecdn.com/cdnImages/full_size/Artist-99163528-2135015.png">
