DS - Guitar Hero: On Tour - Guitar Hero: On Tour Grip Skins GamersPlatform.com Wrote: So, like I reported in my review, you can exchange the picture in your DS's grip peripheral by simply unlocking the little latch-type thing and putting in a picture of your choice, which is really cool and allows for much more customization, as opposed to just the stickers. Red Octane has just put up some pretty rockin' images up at their site, which you can find http://www.guitarhero.com/ghot/grip/, and download for free.

DS - Guitar Hero: On Tour - Analyst Says Nintendo DS Guitar Hero Set to Sell Kombo writes: Guitar Hero, without a guitar? Madness! Not so, says Signal Hill Capital Group analyst Todd Greenwald. Instead, he says this thing:

"We think this title, never having been released on any handheld platform, has the potential to sell several million units at launch, at a $49.99 price point. Furthermore, our retail channel checks show that big-box retailers are preparing to support the release very heavily. Wal-Mart, Target, and Best Buy should all be giving Guitar Hero: On Tour significant shelf space this summer."

DS - Guitar Hero: On Tour - Developer: 'Guitar Hero' DS Almost Had Five Or Six Fret Buttons, Successfully Breaks The Rules MTV Multiplayer writes: "For the first six months they were making it, the creators of "Guitar Hero" for the DS weren't sure their game was going to work.

Then things got better.

And from what I saw and heard when the game was demoed for me in New York City a few weeks ago, the DS experts at Activision's Vicarious Visions studio have solved most - maybe even all - the challenges they faced.

Challenge #1: The DS Is Not Shaped Like A Guitar"

DS - Guitar Hero: On Tour - Guitar Hero: On Tour 'Eyes-on' Preview + New Screens from Vooks Vooks were lucky enough to be invited to have an 'Eyes-On' look at Activision's Guitar Hero: On Tour for the Nintendo DS. It is being developed by Vicarious Visions, the fine people responsible for the Wii version of Guitar Hero 3. Unfortunately with it being an eyes-on look, it meant Vooks were unable to play the game themselves. But rest assured, Vooks got a very good look at the title and hardware, and Vooks are in a very good position to pass judgement.
