US, March 19, 2008 - More than a year ago, Activision revealed that the company was interested in branching its Guitar Hero franchise onto platforms such as the Nintendo DS. It's been a long wait, but the company has finally revealed the Guitar Hero game that will soon hit the dual-screen handheld later this year.

The Nintendo DS version -- Guitar Hero: On Tour -- is in development at Vicarious Visions, the team best known for the Tony Hawk and Spider-Man series on the dual-screen handheld, as well as the Nintendo Wii conversion of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock released late last year. This portable version will feature the same rhythm-based "play to the music" gameplay of the big boys, and will even have its own peripheral to get the job done: Red Octane has developed what it's calling the Guitar Grip to give players the ability to finger chords in similar fashion as the console version's guitar peripheral.

More beyond the link.

If you're not convinced to read it, DS owner or not, this picture should do it.

I want that so badly.

Bass Hero. Also Guitar Hero sucks, buy a real game, like Rock Band coming out this Summer in Europe and is getting a mp3 shop just line itunes within the week.

If Rock Band was on PC, had significantly better songs than GH3 (Okay GH3 has some shite in it, QoTA comes to mind), and allowed you to purchase one peripheral at a time, then I'd get it.

But it doesn't.

BUT ALL ROCK BAND SONGS ARE BETTER
AND THEY WILL HAVE ONE PERIPHERAL WHEN IT IS RELEASED HERE

THEMS BE DEALBREAKERS

[James]

[CyberKill]

I can do expert on when your were young 100%age. practising TTFAF.

[Mr. Tastix]

Well I can do 100% on none of the fucking songs. But the game still owns anyway, lol.

This thing looks so fucking cool though. Wonder how much it'll cost. Definately know I want it lol. My only concerns is what will the music and it's quality be like? And, won't it be fucking annoying/hard to play like that?

[Siva]

I can see it looking comfortable.

Also, music quality will probably be very good if headphones are used, otherwise it sounds washed out. (Most games on DS have decent audio.)
