    Seriously? Seriously? (Band Hero DS)

    This will come as a surprise to no one who has followed the rampant milking of the Guitar Hero franchise since Activision took over. Band Hero, a "family-friendly" version of the now full band GH games is coming and makers of GH On Tour and Modern Hits, Vicarious Visions, will be making a DS version. Unlike PSP's Rock Band it'll keep the multiplayer instrument play, as best it can. You can link 4 DSs to play guitar, bass, drums, and vocals as a group.

    But that's not the ridiculous part. Like it's big brother the DS game will have an instrument bundle which includes the game, the guitar grip created for On Tour and a new drum grip.



    It's basically a silicon sleeve that wraps around the DS and places color-coded drum pads over the d-pad and face buttons. It ONLY fits the DS Lite system further limiting the compatibility of the portable franchise.

    EDIT: Oops, I assumed from the screenshot you can drum on the touch screen but it turns out you can't.

    I'm calling it now: this is the year the plastic toy video game market crashes. The ridiculous amount of Guitar Hero iterations and another Rock Band game that costs MORE THAN THE CONSOLE to get the full kit version... these are gonna be rotting on precious shelf space.

            I basically vowed to hate Activision forever when they released a Greatest Hits for Guitar Hero, and went on to charge 60$ for it.

              I want to play Keyboard Mania so bad.

              I'm a fan of music games and wacky peripherals, but downsizing a console game known for (kind of) emulating (somewhat) life-sized instruments is pretty silly.

              I bet it's fun, though.

                I seriously want a music game like that teaches me to play a musical instrument.

                  It's called real life music lessons.
