Breaking: Guitar Hero comes to the Wii!

Published by matthew at 2:06 am

That’s right, during Activision’s conference call on Wednesday, CEO Mike Griffith stated that Guitar Hero will be making it’s way to the Wii:

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.

No other details were given during the 60+ minute conference call. Since the announcement was given by the President of Activision, I think the chances are high for an official press release in the future. If you wish to hear the announcement for yourself, check out the conference call below and skip ahead to around the 28-minute mark.

    [...] Right now, there is very little information about this, but it seems that Guitar Hero is going to be coming to the Wii. Guitar Hero is probably my favorite game of all time, so this is extremely exciting news for me. I’m very curious how they are going to implement everything. My best guess would be that they are going to make a special wireless Wii guitar, somewhat like the Xbox 360 guitar.

    [...] During yesterday’s financial results conference call Activision president and CEO Mike Griffith made more specific confirmation of Guitar Hero on Wii. “[Activision] 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,” Griffith told listeners. While this almost certainly indicates that Guitar Hero will arrive on Wii before March 2008, Griffith’s somewhat vague statement still leaves open the possibility of a portable version on DS. [...]
