As excited as I am for this game to come out, that commercial was not... good.

Really? I thought guitar hero DS was a joke...

Someone needs to stop them from making the same game over and over.

Just like Sony and all their consoles. The same fucking game for all the consoles. So stupid...

Trying to imagine playing this, wrapping my left hand around the back of the ds to reach the buttons on the far right, trying to watch the left screen and strum on the right.... seems very awkward to me.

I was thinking (as a lefty) that this didn't look very lefty friendly. But when you put it like that, it doesn't look very righty friendly, either.

I'm guessing this'll have an option like Brain Age's where you can choose which way to hold the DS, solving the possible lefty problem.

And while I was buzzed for this, that commercial just killed my buzz in the most violent, traumatizing way possible. "Hello DS players! Are you ready to do something that vaguely resembles a watered down attempt to ROCK??"

I like it and I am a sucker for GH, so I will buy it. However, two questions:

1. Would it not have been possible to use the L or R button on the thumb for a fifth button? I am no guitarist, but I know some players sometimes play the sixth string with the thumb or something. Could such a move have been integrated in the experience?

2. It is known that, for Space Invaders Extreme, the GBA-slot paddle controller disables clamshelling. I wonder whether the Activision people have thought about a way to enable sleeping when the DS's lid is closed.

Oh, and this commercial totally fails. I mean, flailing around with the GH controller already makes you look like an utter dork, but these kids? This is beyond any amend.

Putting something in the GBA slot doesn't disable clamshelling -- you can still close the DS and the game itself will go to sleep. However, the periph plugged into the GBA slot will continue to suck the juice out of your DS at a normal rate.

Being 50 years old, the Guitar Hero phenomenon escapes me. Just not interested in playing the game. Perhaps if there were more classic rock songs, I might be prone to give it a try.

Hopefully "Guitar Hero: The Beatles" ends up being more than just talk

Actually on GH4, there have been rumors it will include Van Halen, AeroSmith, and the Eagles. Its also rumired it will gave a drumset, mic, and guitar- all wireless.

This is actually pretty clever. It's obviously nothing like playing a guitar at this point, but it is reminiscent of guitar HERO. That is to say, it's familiar enough to work, it just lost it's "guitar simulation" status. The peripheral is a fantastic way to go about this.

That being said, this MIGHT be awkward for lefties.

Ugh. That video makes keytars look awesome.

Maybe it's still fun to play, at the cost of looking like a terrible dork.

from the looks of the gba thingy, it won't fit on a ds phat, notice how it stops as soon as it comes out of the ds lite it goes into the buttons, so it is probably lite only, glad I converted.

"More like Tiny Accordion Hero, amirite?"

I blame you for making me laugh coffee out of my nose just now.

I've been waiting for news on this one! Thanks for the update! I'm just a little disappointed that it only had 4 buttons :( but I guess it's hard to add the orange button since it would change the grip of the user and it might be more prone to dropping the DS. It would be cool to try it out though... I'm actually considering on buying it when it comes out.

All I can say about that peripheral is, "It's so bad."

First off the reason why their is no orange button is because, it will, A. Take up either the volume control button or the Ear phone plug-in (head set What ever) B. There is no unlimited space on the Nintendo DS lite screen so they don't want to make anything look crappy by shrinking it, and C. It would completely fell awkward on the fingers.
The commercial obviously is targeting the teenage youth group so all of those dumb as can be older men and women should either grow up, or be like Micheal Jackson and try to stay a kid forever.(of course adults could join in the fun too.) Now, it is called a Guitar Hero Guitar Grip now to me if the do a little re-modeling like make it look like a fret board, then i would be abit more convinced (im still going to get it) so anyway when spring-break is over, im going to make a web-site completely dedicated for this game. *as long as im not baned from the Computer room.*

**P.S. Rock band sucks big time, i mean i played every one of the instruments, and it feels so awkward. **

P.P.S. I'm not even legally able to drive so don't talk out of your butt. Like saying, ''How would you know'' or ''Dude, aren't you one of those old retards who love the game.'' Guitar hero Addict all the funking way dudes

P.P.P.S. All of my info is fan guessing and mathematical estimating. So bye

Holy shit looks awesome. I have a DS Lite and I know for sure that I WILL be getting this game. It just looks like fun, possibly a little dorky, but not as bad as flailing around a guitar. I will have to say that basically it isn't about the actual guitar experience anymore, but still looks awesome. This will definitely be added to my GH1, GH2, GH3, and GH4 whenever it comes out.

The whole grip thing isn't as bad people make it out to be. It's actually a lot like brain age, except the hand that supports the ds also presses the coloured buttons (I will not dare say frets, because this nor the plastic guitar comes anywhere close to the real thing).

I will buy it if it's compatible with my ds phat.
