IGN: Exclusive Reveal: Guitar Hero DS

ds.ign.com — 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 exclusively to IGN and Yahoo the Guitar Hero game that will soon hit the dual-screen handheld later this year.

  • BaderG, on 03/19/2008, -9/+112I'm really impressed with the design of this 3rd party peripheral.

    I was really skeptical at the idea of Guitar Hero on the DS, but I'm really excited to see where this goes now.
  • manti5, on 03/19/2008, -0/+86That video looked like an SNL parody.
  • control98408, on 03/19/2008, -3/+67That commercial is the funniest ***** I've ever seen.
  • hipnotyq, on 03/19/2008, -2/+44This is going to be great for all the noobs like me who can only handle 4 fret buttons :)
  • amirpc, on 03/19/2008, -3/+31Dugg for how rediculous those kids look in the teaser video
  • SkippyDoorknob, on 03/19/2008, -0/+27I half expected each of them to pop a Mentos in their mouths at the end
  • ZamBlade, on 03/19/2008, -10/+34The fret add on looks cool, but the touch screen being used as the strum bar seems kinda bleh.
  • MovieQuest, on 03/19/2008, -5/+27It's not an April Fool's joke. I worked on it - did the music video cameras and editing. It's way cool.
  • Dafreakzo, on 03/19/2008, -2/+23What a hot piece of ass...the girl, obviously.
  • stoanhart, on 03/20/2008, -0/+20Yeah, it's so unbelievable that a software developer might read digg...
  • BTfreek, on 03/19/2008, -0/+19http://how-to-spell-ridiculous.com/
  • therightclique, on 03/19/2008, -0/+18guess its a pretty good thing we're nowhere near april 1st.
  • MacTyler, on 03/19/2008, -2/+16Am I crazy or is the girl in that video really hott? Baby got back.
  • MutatedNantuko, on 03/19/2008, -2/+15Elite Beat will end up still better.
  • Jeveran, on 03/19/2008, -0/+11Yay! Ukulele Hero!
  • mourne, on 03/19/2008, -0/+11totally agree. I'd rather hit the D pad
  • Dafreakzo, on 03/19/2008, -0/+10Guitar Hero is on the Wii..fool.
  • SkippyDoorknob, on 03/19/2008, -0/+9How would you slide your hand to the 5th button when that hand is also holding the DS?
  • AmICoolNow, on 03/19/2008, -1/+10Except it was actually funny.
  • Tyorant, on 03/19/2008, -1/+9I like Slayer, and I bought Guitar Hero III. There are a load of songs I would normally ***** hate like the one by AFI etc, but you just get over it because it's only the occasional song...stop whining.
  • hadak, on 03/19/2008, -1/+9Too bad for all of us leftys.
  • mywhitenoise, on 03/19/2008, -0/+7It's March 19. The whole point of an April Fools joke, is that it only applies to ONE DAY.
  • cgruber, on 03/20/2008, -0/+6Powerglove was so bad it didn't support any players. Seriously that was and still is the worst gaming device I have ever owned in 27 years of my life.
  • dsmx, on 03/19/2008, -0/+65th fret button isn't to bad it's just that the leap is so huge from medium to hard that they really need to put a level in between. Say 5 fret buttons but still keep the same number of notes possibly slightly more.
  • Dush, on 03/19/2008, -1/+7We get this but no Elite Beat 2...
  • Otnip, on 03/20/2008, -1/+64 frets? Pffft, sounds like the guitar hero kiddie pool.
  • Lumiras, on 03/19/2008, -0/+5You're right....because the DS' bottom screen wasn't designed to be touched.
  • inactive, on 03/19/2008, -2/+7Frets with left, strum with right. Watch the video.

    Lefty flip players are *****.
  • cam503, on 03/19/2008, -0/+5I think it would've been better if they had given us a first look at the product before hiring actors and adding the whole "commercialized" sheen over it.

    Now I have this dirty feeling in my mouth and I'm not sure if I should call the police or watch the commercial again.
  • scrag10, on 03/19/2008, -1/+6I just hope it supports left handed players. Heres looking at you power glove.
  • SweetChinMusic, on 03/20/2008, -1/+6J-J-JAILBAIT
  • AmICoolNow, on 03/20/2008, -0/+4At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, I hate Guitar Hero III. To me, they hijacked the franchise and killed it. I much prefer Guitar Hero II or Rock Band.
  • screwfanboys1, on 03/19/2008, -1/+5I'm digging everyone in this thread down because it is ***** stupid. Everyone knows that guitar hero is nothing like a real guitar, its just a videogame that people play for fun, get over it.
  • Lumiras, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4the trailer shows the guy blowing into the mic when his guitar lights on fire.

    I hate when that happens in real life
  • Lumiras, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4I'll have to wait until I actually have it in my hands to pass judgment. It looks like your hands could get cramped pretty easily after a short while
  • AmICoolNow, on 03/20/2008, -0/+4Give it time and you'll get used to playing with 5 frets. You'll hate it at first, but once you get it it gets really fun.
  • IronPwnage, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4...GTFO my internets please.
  • mnkboy907, on 03/19/2008, -0/+4I think having to pluck the strings on the touch screen while still looking at the top screen, er... left screen, will add its own level of difficulty.
  • shockeriv, on 03/20/2008, -0/+4I laughed at the commercial, and then realized I will get this the day it comes out anyway. Pretty smart of Activision to use a peripheral to negate the m3/r4's of the world.
  • granaero, on 03/19/2008, -4/+8it looks so stupid.
  • MacTyler, on 03/20/2008, -0/+3;) haha see you on 7chan!
  • doshindude, on 03/20/2008, -0/+3looks lame, the touchscreen strumming is the biggest flaw...you won't be able to strum fast because of it.
  • Adgeman, on 03/19/2008, -1/+4I was hoping the video would end with them stage diving off the top of that building.

    I hate how clean cut and so clearly stage-managed to hit all the demographics Nintendo models are in all their adverts. Not once do they look like real gamers.
  • nicko68, on 03/20/2008, -0/+3Completely different game.
  • Angus5, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3Expect to see an increase in Carpal Tunnel
  • LoveYouSomeEric, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3Ummm... what? GH3 has been out for the Wii for months.
  • SweetChinMusic, on 03/20/2008, -0/+3It sucks that there's only four frets though.
  • daftfunk1, on 03/19/2008, -11/+14It seems it would be really uncomfortable. I'll probably get it regardless.
  • mywhitenoise, on 03/19/2008, -0/+3I probably should have checked out that video first. The peripheral has a strap, so it should be comfortable. The design still looks awkward, though.
  • mourne, on 03/19/2008, -1/+4smaller frets and.. .oh no, maybe even a pinky stretch. =)
