There's not a lot of details on this one just yet, but Activision CEO Mike Griffith has dropped word in an earnings conference call that the company's upcoming Guitar Hero: On Tour game / controller combo will not only be released on its own this June, but in a new Nintendo DS bundle as well. No word on a price, unfortunately, nor is there any indication that the DS itself will be undergoing any Guitar Hero-inspired changes, but it seems like those little details should be making themselves known soon enough.
imagine how ridiculous someone will look playing this on say the subway or a bus... and with only four fret buttons too, lol
It's Ukelele Hero!!!!
My grandson would love one of these -- he's been asking for one.
I just want my Elite Beat Agents 2.
no stretching pinky......SWEET! I'm gonna ROCK at this game!!!!
lol
small hands, likes rooney...
I'm noticing a pattern here..
How exactly do you hold it?
That's what she said.
Left hand goes around the back and your four fingers go on the buttons.
Your right hand holds the stylus and does the strumming
that's what she said
@Marc
Have a little respect for the she said jokes please. There should be a time and place to throw them around!
There are (at least) two other options:
1) Right hand goes on back, fingers on buttons; left hand strums; hold behind your neck.
2) Left hand goes on buttons around the DS's back; strum with your teeth... or tounge?
Disaster waiting to happen...
... that's what she said.
Haha portal GH for noobs! Easy and Medium only with 4 buttons?
Guitar Hero: Cramped Hands Edition
Guitar Hero: Carpal Tunnel Edition. Will come boxed with $100 off physical therapy treatments.
So, looks like its only for right handed people LOL
i thought it's more for left handed people, since I thought u put your hands around it so u can put your fingers on the buttons...
like u hold a guitar :3
Something tells me they'll have an option to swap screens for people of both handednesses.
@ Firen
Well no, because your dominant (haha) hand is used to strum on the touch screen, much like the strum bar on Guitar controllers.
If you want to use it left handed you would flip the entire DS around so that the touch screen is on the left and then your right hand would use the frets and your left hand would strum the strings... hope this clears up the confusion... oh yeah... there's most likely a place where you can change the way the notes will come down the screen for left handed players. It will either ask you in the beginning or there will be a place in options to change that.
Maybe I'm a retard (DONT ANSWER THAT), but I dont' get how you're supposed to hold that.
Left hand goes around the back and your four fingers go on the buttons.
Your right hand holds the stylus and does the strumming
And yes. You're a retard.
You were so close, too. Missed it by just seven posts. Thanks Phoenix for taking time out of your busy day for working with special needs children.
How do you whammy...
Phoenix!? I hardly know you! Innapropriate.
lolwut
Shizzammm
I think you can hold it in your left had and the spot where the two screens come together is right in your palm.
No, your palm is on the back of the "right hand" screen, the other screen is sorta going up your arm
I think he was describing it for how someone with a normal sized hand would open it.
meh. depends how old you are and how thick the guitar grip is, how much of your finger is on the button.
But yeah, he's actually closer *is embarrassed*
and suddenly our sleek DS lites look like NOMADs with game genie, sonic and knuckles, with sonic 3, sticking out of them..
Hmm. what I wanna know is is it compatible with the original DS....
Seriously, there's no award for most posts in a day. Quality > Quantity
I'm wondering the same thing.
Yeah it's compatible with both DS and DS lite
I'm waiting for the DS Rockband edition - with wireless drummer and bass player...
controllers will of course be incompatible...
Accordion Hero! I can learn "Lady of Spain" and some swell lively polkas!
I'M READY TO ROCK in the bathroom LIKE NO BODY HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks hard to play, and a drop accident waiting to happen...?

The "top" screen or lid would kinda be in the way no?
apparently theres a strap that goes around your hand holding the system, kinda like that old nerf velcro-ball game where you held the velcro paddle and threw the fuzzy tennis-like ball to one another
This is full of failure and AIDS. Why would I want to play Guitar Hero on the go? It's more fun on a large screen and with the instrument peripherals; this would be like listening to the rock playlist of my mp3 player...but now I've gotta work for it.
Why would you ever want any game on the go? Your argument implies that there is no place for portable gaming because any game looks better and is more fun on the big screen. You want it on the go because... sometimes, you're on the go, duh. And Guitar Hero full is also like listening to the rock playlist on your mp3, except you have to work for it. However, there are a small minority of us who call that work part "having fun".
ONE WORD.......
SICK
@ Phoenix: they've confirmed DS "phat"compatibility for on tour
Looks more suited to Accordian Hero.
How is it that this game runs like CRAP on my $4000 gaming system but works on this TOY? What a joke, I have to crank the res down to 800 x 600 with everything off, and still sucks.....
where the hell did you get a $4000 gaming system?
Maybe becuz Guitar Hero + PC = Suck. Seriously, Guitar Hero is way more suited to consoles.
naaah! I don't get it. Thumbs down on this one.

The lack of a 5th fret is some fail. Half the fun is getting pissed at hitting the wrong key because you can't move your pinky fast enough!
the game costs $50 and you can preorder it off gamestop or ebgames. Put in GHTOUR as an online code if want free overnight shipping on it
Where the hell did you get a $4000 gaming system? o.0
It's Friday now, does that mean I have to wait 364 days for more turkey? That's sad
good timing for these giveaways
