Easy Piano easing into North America next year

Band Hero's reign as the DS music game with the silliest peripheral in America will soon be over. Valcon Games has announced that it will release Easy Piano, the piano teaching game with the 13-key keyboard attachment, in North America. It'll join the piles and piles of other games coming out in early 2010, but then those don't have keyboards.

Easy Piano includes a piano teaching system -- a mini Miracle Keyboard, essentially -- but also allows players to record four three-minute long performances, and includes a piano-based rhythm game. What it doesn't include, for obvious reasons, is DSi compatibility. Maybe the company will make a version for the DSi XL that connects wirelessly to one of those floor pianos from Big.

Also, we've changed our minds -- Band Hero is still the silliest.

Oh GBA slot, you slut. You love it when I shove that piano in there, yeah? How about a guitar? A pedometer? My penis?

What a shame that this is only one octave, and will never work with either of the Korg DS-10 products. At least it's practically guaranteed that one or more of the homebrew music making programs will support it. It seems like it would go pretty well with Pixelh8's upcoming chiptune synth.
