At the Austin Game Developers Conference yesterday, Adrian Earle, design manager for Vicarious Visions, let slip on a few details concerning Guitar Hero on the Nintendo DS.
When asked about the graphical style of Guitar Hero on the portable console, Earle stated that they are actually consistent with those on other formats (with 3D backgrounds intact), rather than something perhaps toned down and simplified for the portable version.
More surprising, however, is that unlike Ubisoft's Jam Sessions (which has players using the stylus to strum away at the touch screen), Earle revealed that Guitar Hero DS would not use the stylus as its primary control input. Nintendic had already learnt that RedOctane had a unique peripheral planned for the DS version of the guitar simulator, but the revelation that the stylus is being completely ousted may surprise some gamers.
The top-selling third-party games of all time across consoles include GTA V, Call of Duty, and Guitar Hero.

In the summer, we all do things that cool us off. That’s just conventional wisdom. But what if we’ve been going about it all wrong? What if the solution is leaning in to the heat, diving into even hotter activities to show the summer we’re not scared?
Let’s beat summer at its own game here. Whether you want to murder your way through hell or skate over it, gaming has got you covered.
COGconnected - It seems like the era of rhythm game dominance has come and gone but we argue that there's still room for them if they make a few key changes.
No we DONT need guitar hero or rockband. These games have had 7+titles each console cycle and Im tired of these being the mainstream and practically only focused on musical game.
Amplitude was brought back for PS4 yet with the tech and magic of DLC we didnt get it because not only gamers but devs have become out of touch.
Thumper impressed many and is at least a step in the right direction. I rather have more games like thumper. So screw all this rockband and Guitar hero BS! Take your guitars and peripherals and break them in half!

I preferred the patapon games but yeah. We need rhythm games to come back this gen
...if somehow you could pump the DS's volume controller higher than its limit, so when you're playing this on the go, a least a good radius of people will know how righteously you're rockin' out.
