I expect the new Guitar to have a little slot/groove that the Remote will plug into, or some pocket to store the remote and you attach a plug to the bottom.

I only see one problem with that approach... you need to use the remote to point at Disc Channel to start up the game. So we'd have to continuously be connecting/disconnecting the guitar each time we wanted to play.

That would be perfectly acceptable to me, but i'm not sure how Activision feels about it. Makes me wonder if the guitar will just be it's own bluetooth device.

Or would the remote plug into the very top of the guitar's neck? Then you could use the guitar like a gun to point at the Disc Channel, or to point at other things in the game itself. That would almost be cool... except, you know... it would be stupid.

You don't have to disconnect anything if the Remote is always connected but sitting in some kind of pocket or strap you can whip it out from.

And besides, you'd probably want the Remote secured in the guitar in the first place if you'd like to make a character wave the guitar around LIKE YOU DO on screen.

I'd be pissed if there's a pocket, strap, or any kind of cord involved... The Wii remote would have to plug in flush to the surface of the guitar for me to be happy.

Let's just cancel the game.

What a Nintendo Guitar Hero game really needs are songs from F-Zero.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #32 on:** February 09, 2007, 08:11:00 PM »

What it sounds like some of you are asking for is not Guitar Hero, but instead Guitario (Guitar + Mario = Guitario<pronounced almost exactly the same>). But that would be the same as Mario DDR and even though most liked it, most would have prefered a regular DDR game.

If anything, I think Nintendo should probably team up with a third party ot release some special downloadable songs(for a small fee if not for free) to help extend the gameplay and add incentive for the Nintendo fans to not only buy the game(+1 3rd party) but to also down load the additional content(+2 3rd party & +1 Nintendo). Win Win situation. We all get a regular version of the game and all the Nintendo fanatics get their precious Nintendo only extras.

I wasn't suggesting that the game not have all of the same tracks from GH1 and/or GH2. But adding some classic videogame tracks would be a logical and awesome thing to do.

If Guitar Hero 2 had a version of TROGDOR sung by STRONGBAD then there's no reason we can't get rock 'n roll versions of some classic Nintendo themes by garage bands. We're not asking for DDR Mario. We're asking for SC2 with Link as an exclusive character.

there are so many ways to do the controller:

USB?
Bluetooth Guitar?
Shell that the Wiimote plugs into.

NeoThunder · « **Reply #36 on:** February 11, 2007, 12:01:42 PM »

I think the "Shell" Guitar would be the best way to go

no batteries, and wireless....perfect

plus, maybe the charaters on screen would raise it's guitar when you do and stuff

Rise from the grave!!!

Just wanted to add that we now know that the wiimote will in fact plug into the GH3 wii guitar.

Here's a pic.

And in an effort to hype up the game, I wanna reference this post from the neoGAF forums from someone who works at a gamestore, listing how many pre-orders they got for certain games. For GH3 specifically...

Guitar Hero III: 134
Wii: 45
360: 41
PS2: 27
PS3: 21

Wow! Guitar Hero 3 is a major XBox 360 and PS2 game on monthly sales charts even today, months after its release. Sometimes, it's the brightest shining star for those systems. Could we soon be seeing that sort of sales success on the Wii? And will it spur EA to bring us Rockband?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #38 on:** July 23, 2007, 06:55:51 AM »

I am going to go on record, and state that Rock Band will come to the Wii. EA has been showing way too much love to turn its back on the Wii now, especially with the Harmonix/Activision<?> fued right right now. What would be better than a head to head battle?

I think it will as well.

April 2, 2007 - During a conference call to announce its latest music game Rock Band for release on Xbox 360 and PS3, Harmonix CEO Alex Rigopulos hinted strongly that a Wii-specific version of the title would be coming out in the future. When asked if there was any chance Rock Band would arrive on Wii, Rigopulos said without hesitation, "Absolutely."

"We will, at some time, bring Rock Band to every [important] platform," Rigopulos said. He added that Harmonix would optimize future versions of Rock Band to fit the strengths of the platform. "I think the Wiimote is something that holds enormous promise."

Rock Band comes to Xbox 360 and PS3 this holiday. No Wii version has been officially announced.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #40 on:** July 23, 2007, 07:13:30 AM »

Well then there you have it. But I have been saying that Rock Band was coming all along.
I was actually hoping it would be announced at minE3 and have a demo set up too, but it wasn't.

My guess is that they took most of the PS3 versions programmers and moved them over to the Wii version to get them all caught up so that they could atleast release the Wii version along side the 360 version this holiday season. Then PS3 will then get a sloppy 360 port so that it can be released around the same time as the others too.

Ceric · « **Reply #41 on:** July 23, 2007, 08:58:10 AM »

I think EA will suggest it but ultimately leave it up to Harmonix. EA pretty much got a sure fire hit from them and a major attraction to the press to check them out. Not to mention something that would idiotically easy to milk with additional content. Which could be sold as advertisement not just through consumer channels. You have a new song coming out and you want to promote it. Pay EA some money to turn into a RockBand song and offer it in a pack, at a discount, or even free and I'm sure it will help a little. The biggest problem with this scheme is, yet again, space. Those files can't be small.

Leaked Guitar Hero III Track List

It seems only the NWR staff are in love with Guitar Hero, because no one else on the forum is talking about it.

I'll honestly say I'm pretty psyched about this game. I've never played a Guitar Hero game but it's something that I've always been mildly interested in. With all the praise the series has gotten I figure I might as well give it a shot. Most of the main playlist is pretty good. I'm not familiar with a whole lot of the bonus songs, but I can't really complain about them.

Kairon · « **Reply #44 on:** September 20, 2007, 10:28:16 AM »

I'm gotta get it, but I'm gonna suck hard. It's gonna be a painful experience getting anywhere decent with this game.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #45 on:** September 20, 2007, 10:29:39 AM »

Guitar Hero is super odd, it is a completely "casual" game yet people seem to ignore that aspect. Anyway I WON"T be getting it, instead I'm getting rock band.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #46 on:** September 20, 2007, 11:23:03 AM »

I'll probably get it on PS2 unless they announce some nifty Wii features, since I already have guitar controllers. Bonus tracks on the last two games were almost all by indy bands, many of which had connections with Harmonix, from what I understand. I don't know whether the change in developer affected that trend.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #47 on:** September 20, 2007, 11:50:18 AM »

Assuming I'm able to get a 360 I will be getting either this or Rock Band for that, depending on the final track list, because downloadable extra songs are definitely coming to those, as opposed to only being a chance on the Wii, and space isn't as much of an issue with a hard drive than the current setup on the Wii. Actually, if Nintendo confirms a hard drive is coming and Activision confirms the Wii will get downloadable content I'll get GH3 for the Wii, because I don't care about the drums or vocals aspects of Rock Band.

"It seems only the NWR staff are in love with Guitar Hero, because no one else on the forum is talking about it."

We're all just bitter that Guitar Hero wins innovation awards despite being a rip-off of Guitar Freaks.

Personally I'm of the idea that if you've played one rhythm game you've played them all. It's always entering button pushes in time with a beat only they find new ways to disguise those buttons in a custom controller. Usually I find the initial novelty fun but it gets kind of dull once that wears off. I have DDR and I really like it and that satisfies my rhythm needs.

I think the fantasy nature of Guitar Hero is a big part of the appeal. "Wow I can play guitar!" The thing is I actually CAN play the guitar so that part of the thrill doesn't exist for me. When playing in the store I got to the solo and felt like cutting loose with my own improvised solo. Only I couldn't because it's just a videogame. I think I'd prefer guitar karaoke where I play my real guitar with a backing track. The method of strumming kind of bugs me too as it just doesn't feel right. I'd prefer it if they actually had six strings to play. Actually that's probably how I would make a guitar game. Instead of pressing the right fret you have to play the correct strings in time to the beat. Though there probably isn't an audience for a guitar game designed in a way that feels more accurate for actual guitar players.

I'm nitpicking here. Odds are anyone who doesn't play guitar will really love Guitar Hero.

I don't play guitar and I think Guitar Hero is overrated.
