New Wii Games Thread: Guitar Hero

Looking around I didn't see any threads relating to this so I thought I would start one. Given the number and frequency of new Wii projects that have been announced recently, this could serve as a thread for all of those new projects as they are announced or maybe discussion of new Wii games in general. Anyway, this is from the news section over at 1up:
Guitar Hero is (Surprise!) Coming to Wii
Actually, everyone was waiting for it. Still cool, though.
By Patrick Klepek, 02/08/2007
In addition to announcing that Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam would be making a conversion from Wii to PlayStation 2, Activision, via CEO Mike Griffith, revealed they would be producing a Guitar Hero project for Wii sometime in 2007, says The Tanooki (via Kotaku.) No wonder Neversoft is so anxious to hire.
"The key difference in our strategy versus the prior cycle, is that in addition to full support on Sony and Microsoft platforms, we will aggressively target the Nintendo platforms consistent with our multi-platform strategy and Nintendo's expected growth. In fiscal 2008, we will double our offerings on the DS and the Wii, including Spider-Man, Shrek, Transformers, and Guitar Hero."
There really aren't any controller ports on the Wii, outside of the GameCube slots, so will Neversoft attempt to simulate guitar playing via the Wiimote?
Some of the other stuff said in quotes there aside from the announcement of Guitar Hero is also quite promising. Spider-Man for the Wii could be pretty damn cool and of course there were the Shrek and Transformers games announced too (although any of these games could also end up being DS games). It will be interesting to see how they make Guitar Hero work for the Wii too, whether they try to use the Wiimote itself, the Wiimote accessory port, or one of the GameCube ports. What do you guys think about the announcement and how it would work? Hopefully it will be built from the ground up for the Wii instead of being a port of one of the last games of course too.

I've heard a lot of bad news though.
This is definitely pleasing.
As far as I see, they say they are looking into it but haven't commited.
Speaking out your butt? No thanks.
Seriously, we don't know what the control options will be.
Now, Drum Hero. There's something that would work pretty well I imagine.
(Air) Guitar Hero?
Well, Harmonix was let go of Guitar Hero. Now they are free to do another game. Me thinks they've thought of this already.

At worst it's a version of Guitar Hero that's no different from the others.
Personally, I think it'd be nice if it came with a controller that you plug a Wiimote into for wireless and tilt sensing. Then you get a reliable tilt sensor and a wireless guitar.
But I threw away my air guitar because the Guitar Hero box told me to!
Speaking of which, my tilt sensor is busted and I have to hit select to go into star power. Some songs that's okay, but others can suck my nuts. I'm looking at YOU, Six.
Time to break out the new, ultra sleek Wii Air Guitar Model G, son.
Being able to get a next gen edition of Guitar Hero without dropping $500 for a 360 is a big deal to me.

but wii is lamecube 2.0 m i rite?
Heh, I completely missed that thread somehow and yeah, that does basically say everything that this does. That said I will look to change this thread as other new Wii games are announced but thanks for bringing that up. This does seem to be at least a confirmation of everything that was brought up in the GameSpot article AlphaTwo found.
Also, then you could play shooting games with it and pretend you have a really awesome guitar.
And I couldn't be happier.
Oh man. Oh man. Wii Shop. Guitar Hero. Nintendo Songs on the Gee-tar.
Guitar Hero needs to be a reality on Wii. NEEDS!
I WILL NOT BE DOING 3DS FOR NWC THREAD. SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE TO TAKE OVER.

Didn't Activision actually acquire Harmonix or am I thinking of something else?
My PS2 broke long before the first Guitar Hero came out. I'm not buying a PS3, and I'm putting of a 360 purchase, until a price drop.
So I'd like to actually play Guitar Hero for once, rather than mess around with it at a friends house for 20 minutes.

This is what i was thinking.
the guitar will have a slot in the neck or the body where you slip your wiimote into it.
this would basically make the guitar into the 360 version. plus it would be cheaper then the other guitars. because they do not have to make wireless technology into the guitar, and they dont have to have the innards for a shake box. its simple, easy, and the price point (if they do it that way) is a customer draw.
Being able to get the next Guitar Hero without having to resurrect my PS2 is a semi-big deal to me. I almost never play the thing to the point that it's pretty much out on extended loan to my roommate -- and I don't miss it at all.

Red Octane got bought. Harmonix is tied to them. Activision sounds about right.
The thing about this is, it's the cheapest way to play a next gen Guitar Hero game, and GH is one of those games where next gen graphics are just about the least important thing you could bring up. It's a huge point in the gameplay vs. graphics argument.

If they let someoen play with the remote and nunchuck acting like drum sticks, like a beefed up version of the Rayman dance game, well, good game sir.

Major fix.
Heavy? Large? What the fuck? Did your arms atrophy or something?
As someone who already owns a GH1+GH2 setup for my PS2, I think the Wii version additions would have to be mighty strong in order for me to repurchase a version. I'm hoping that they take heavy cues from the 360 version and add online scoreboards as a minimum.
now make with the F-Zero guitar arrangements
