Guitar Hero: On Tour for the DS Announced

As predicted, the DS iteration of Guitar Hero has been officially announced. But how the crap is that going to work, you ask? Well, by way of the above pictured lame ass peripheral that snaps onto your DS.

Don't get me wrong, I really like Guitar Hero. But I've just about had it with these franchises that try and "revolutionize" things and "try something different" when it's just not necessary. Guitar Hero was fine the way it was. I openly welcome dlc (and would love if Nintendo would stop being lame and let it come to the Wii version =[ ) and I really like the idea of coop career mode. But Guitar Hero for the DS... come on!

The DS version will have 20 exclusive songs, most of which are original master tracks, though whether or not that matters seeing as how it's on the DS is yet to be seen.

Observe the cheesiest ad for a Guitar Hero game yet.

Jumbotron DS

A fellow from who knows where has been working on a little side project to turn two extra tablet PCs he had lying around into a jumbrotron DS... and it worked! It's not exactly elegant or anything super beautiful but it's a neat concept and it really does look really cool. The DS is hooked up directly to the Tablets and he can even use a Wacom pen and use the tablet instead of the DS! It's not exactly practical for games that require the buttons, but it's a simple thing to pick up the DS and use the buttons when it calls for it. Check out some more pictures and what he used to make it at his website.
