Guitar Hero Arcade is not the first time arcade developer Raw Thrills had been asked to work on a Harmonix property.

In 2008, the team at MTV Games are proud to present to you the MTV Rhythm Game Track Finder, your beacon in the confusing swirl of rhythm games. The regularly updated database will allow you to search any artist and any song to find out which rhythm games it is in and to compare song lists for any major music-based video game. The database currently indexes song lists for more than two dozen rhythm games, including a range of SingStars, Guitar Heroes, Dance Dance Revolutions, Rock Band, and lesser-known favorites such as FreQuency, Elite Beat Agents and the Donkey Konga series.

It seems that industry giant EA has entered an agreement with MTV and Harmonix to publish their next game. Harmonix, developer of rhythm based games is best known for their Guitar Hero series. Though the rights for that IP have been sold to Activision the developers have big plans for their next title.
