Activision to bring "Guitar Hero" to Nintendo DS
Quote:
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Activision (ATVI.O) said on Thursday it will release a version of its "Guitar Hero" video game for Nintendo's (7974.OS) DS, bringing its blockbuster musical series to the most popular handheld gaming device.

"Guitar Hero: On Tour" will include a plug-in accessory and mock guitar-pick to let players tap out notes on the device's screen in time with songs from bands like Nirvana, No Doubt and OK Go, the company said.
Activision said the game will come out this summer, but it did not disclose the price. A typical DS game costs $30, but the inclusion of a hardware accessory may push the price of "On Tour" over that.
"Guitar Hero" games for home consoles like Microsoft Corp's (MSFT.O) Xbox 360 have cost $80-$100, more than the $50-$60 that is standard, due to Activision's practice of bundling a guitar-shaped controller with the software.
