Band Hero DS attachments revealed, gameplay details

It's Activision, you're not missing anything.

Its as if Activision hates us right back

It's ok Duke. Us DSi owners aren't the only ones.

Please see PSP Go! And that thing ain't even out yet!!

DS Phat users have been left out for years.

Akuma, seriously, I laughed harder at your comment than I should have.

A handheld overlay is hardly a peripheral.

Oh, and you might want to question just how much you let game company's decisions affect you.

Martin, you have to understand that whatever you call overlays, there is a point where people can understandably be annoyed with needing any further plastic pieces to play their games.

LOL!!!!

but macs always suck

Good job?

...because a lot of people never use it (like me, for one). It's more like a laptop maker saying a serial port takes up too much room.

you throw the DS against concrete

You shut the lid and open it again.

You shut the lid, crack your hinges, and open it again.

Possibly the touch screen? Maybe you have to yell into the mic?
They'll probably dump it like the fifth guitar button.

What have you done?! Don't give them ideas!

Close enough?

Naw man, it totally comes with a set of tiny drumsticks.

Or you could use spoons.

Oh, but I would like to point out that hip-hop artists and turntablists do play drumlines with their fingers.

Obviously, the genre of music is different here, but the concept is the same.

Hope you are kidding. If not, I recommend operating that brain tumor.

I didn't realize all DS users were required to buy it. :-/

Enjoy playing your whatever game that isn't Scribblenaus this fall, btw.

Yeah, let's all be mad at a company for making a game from it's best selling franchise on a system that millions of people own, knowing that they will make a huge profit! Companies shouldn't make money or sell products to average consumer, that's just bad business!

/sarcasm

@Flame
Sir, there's making sequels and then there's just whoring out. The fact that this would be like the 6/5th Guitar Hero to come out this year says a lot. Then throw in DJ Hero. Their Hero series has gone to hell.

@Aqua

So are you suggesting that they don't try to make money? No one says McDonalds is whoring out their franchise by putting one on every corner, or Apple for releasing a new slightly upgraded media player every year, or Dell for making new PC's every few months. They aren't forcing you to buy their game/burger/ipod/pc, they are simply making the smartest business decisions that allow their company to stay afloat in perilous economic times.

While we as gamers prefer that companies come out with new IP's you should recognize that doing so puts them on unstable ground. The simple fact is that the market can, and WILL support another hero game as there are millions of children who MUST have it for Christmas (b-day, w/e). Admittedly it isn't creative, and I for one am tired of both RB and GH, but you cannot honestly complain about a company doing what is best for their own interests.

Also, keep in mind that while DLC does provide income (look at RB) it is much easier to sell an actual copy to their target audience (kids) and adding new peripherals means that they can charge at a higher price point. While to an adult another guitar might seem like a waste of space, to a child it is another toy, and if you have ever been in a 10 - 12 year old's room you will see that they love toys. You should also think about the fact that Activision has really gone beyond a game franchise and has created a brand, complete with clothing lines and action figures.

If you were CEO at Activsion wouldn't you do the same thing? If this were a sequel to a AAA franchise no one would be complaining (well I am sure some would).

@flamesbane

games =/= fast food resturants .__.
mc donalds doesnt have a mcdonalds 2 right behind it

No, no, you're right this game might be amaz...BWAHAHAHA!

You're right, that's hard to lie about.

but more importantly will it be on the atari 2600?

When we stop buying the stuff.
