Eric Ruckman was one individual disappointed by Guitar Hero: On Tour’s guitar peripheral for the DS. So, in an effort to form gameplay more faithful to the original Guitar Hero, Eric found a wireless PS2 guitar that no one wanted and cut a hole in the controller, removing all the guts. He then managed to connect the buttons of the guitar to the DS by means of wiring though the adapter. Eric is now able to play this one game on his DS with a console Guitar Hero guitar.

This bitchin’ guitar mod even has an FM transmitter in it that allows him to play the Nintendo DS’ sound through his home stereo system. Awesome job, Eric!

The next time I see Peter Ha from CrunchGear (and I will soon), I’m punching him in the stomach. You know why? Because this video showcasing the latest Guitar Hero title for the Nintendo DS is just appalling. They hired a major movie announcer guy for the voiceover, some huge douche to play the role of a rock star and the game looks nearly impossible to play without looking like you’re retarded. Memorable quotes from the above video include: “Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle!” and “BRING IT ONNNN, BRING IT ONNNNN!” I really don’t see this game becoming a hit considering how weird the control scheme is. Oh, by the way game developers: You might want to quit using the DS microphone to blow out fires. It’s been overdone entirely too much at this point with several games.

I’m sorry, but if I have to watch this abortion of a promo video one more time, I think I’m going to be sick. This game is on-par with Beer Pong as far as I’m concerned. I’d embed the video but our Wordpress is boinked at the moment. Hit the link below to check it out.
