Taking air guitar to higher levels - Nintendo Wii Fanboy

nintendowiifanboy.com — Forget Guitar Hero -- these guys are doing it for themselves. Turning the Wii controls into a guitar, that is, and it's pretty awesome. Clearly, this guy doesn't need no instructions to know how to rock.

  • carpespasm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9they won't be using that control set in guitar hero wii, but that doesn't mean that some other game dev couldn't. it looks much closer to actual guitar playing to me.
  • TheAkolyte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I hope GH wii does not use the original remote for the game play. I want to play a guitar. If my friends come over, ill just look like an ***** "pretending" to pretend to play a guitar.
  • moocow1452, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11FREEBIRD!!!
  • squirmalicious, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7that's pretty sweet!
  • m00nstone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Bitter much? You sound like one of those dudes that spent $600 on a video game system.
  • spudnic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Now, I understand what 'after the jump' means, and find it redundant and extremely annoying..

    But what the knackers does 'hit the jump' mean?
  • miketwo1s, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6The real part of playing a guitar isn't strumming; it's fretting the strings. Guitar Hero as it is right now is still definitely way more realistic than this...
  • Tycho7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Cool trick. I almost expected him to bust out the chords from Gerudo Valley at the end.
  • hadimirza, on 03/26/2008, -0/+4"Now to figure out how to play Stairway To Heaven......"
  • quickgold192, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm holding out for a wiimote harmonica
  • uncleboogie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Thats not going to make me forget about Guitar Hero.
  • TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Click the link that corresponds the the rest of the story.
  • hadimirza, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2yeah, rocking out....for sure
  • Murfshay22, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@Deltro

    I take it you don't play any video games at all... you always go out and do the real thing
  • KnockoutNerd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That was the best Carl moment, but a close second is him in the movie for those of you who saw it( most likely not many of you).
  • Plastic3D, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've played guitar for 20 years and his strumming seems off at the end.. there are little double-strums that you can hear, but he strums only once. I think this is busted. Just like the touch-screen german photoshop video I saw today.
  • semvhu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2A video of someone wiggling a wiimote around while some guitar sounds are played is not proof positive that anyone has done anything. His buddy could just be in the background playing a real guitar. But hey, I'm just cynical.
  • stewacide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't want for a developer to make/release a fleshed-out synth for the Wii.
  • chrislee149, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I envisioned a GH Wii game as the reverse of the setup, with the Wii Remote held like the end of the guitar and use for fret buttons while the Nunchuk acts as a pick.
  • vikramkr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1That is amazing!
  • mrdeathgod, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6+1 for ATHF quote
  • tdk2fe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I'm pretty sure he slaughtered Carl's original quote from ATHF:

    "You don' need an instruction manual to know how to rock!"
  • z0l0pht, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It's called... I wanna rock your body. Until the break of dawn.

  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4where is a link to that guy who says 'it's wiitar time' and the rocks out?
  • lockedon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Yeah I think they should make maybe a separate game just to be able to play guitar. And do make it compatible with mac or PC so you can record music and put it together with lets say garage band or something. That would be awesome!
  • fernet3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I play the guitar a little and I must say: I want to give that wiimote-guitar a try!
  • naonao, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wonder if you can play "Do You Feel Like We Do?" By Peter Frampton...
  • MikeWanDo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Didn't I see this exact same video on the front page yesterday? I mean I don't mind seeing at least a *similar* video. But the same video on a different site without any added comment...
  • bmc152006, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1hmmm
  • themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Sounds like a banjo. Not a guitar
  • m00nstone, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I think Guitar Hero is great but it is missing something in the Musicality department. If someone could turn this is into a game, it would blow GH away. It's about strumming the strings!
  • cantitoe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Air guitar is the most pure and true artform there is. Don't cheapen it by adding gimmics to the nothingness that makes it so pure.

  • ReaperJam, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D0770SMqK0&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Enintendowiifanboy%2Ecom%2F2007%2F04%2F16%2Ftaking%2Dair%2Dguitar%2Dto%2Dhigher%2Dlevels%2F
  • ZachSka87, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0I did this myself a few weeks ago on my laptop...not that impressive, to be honest with you. ANYONE can do it with the right software. The Wiimotes are bluetooth.....
  • jnorris441, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1"Clearly, this guy doesn't need no instructions to know how to rock."

    So he needs instructions then?
  • DjOverEZ, on 10/12/2007, -7/+2"Clearly, this guy doesn't need no instructions to know how to rock." Your double negative makes me wonder where these instructions that he doesn't not need are.
  • mojocojo2000, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Yeah I did this over 4 months ago... there's better things you can do with your wiimote then this.
  • BooChihuahua, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1 lol

    That is SO retarded! Are you people kidding me? Man I can't wait until the Wii dies off.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+0Just as I had envisioned: lame.
  • TonyTheTerrible, on 10/12/2007, -11/+1fake
  • techfish, on 10/12/2007, -15/+4Why not just shoot yourself in the head?
  • withoutashovel, on 10/12/2007, -17/+4if they only made this compatible with mac.. well pc at least, since no one will ever support macs as much as pc's
