News \ Konami jumps on the musical video game wagon (again)



Konami has recently released they will be joining in the scene of video game music peripherals announcing their upcoming game

Rock Revolution

will support both a guitar and a seven input drum instrument for the Playstation 3 & Xbox 360 Versions.
Wii owners could once again be let down by its motion sensing, with its version using controls by the Wiimote & Nunchuck to simulate the motions.
The Nintendo DS version will be similar to the soon to be release Guitar Hero: On Tour, though adding a vocal action in which the Wii version also lacks.

Why hasn't someone gone to the next step and incorporated KEYBOARDS!!!!!

They could include a full length Electric Grand Piano in the bundle. Or, the wii version should at least incorporate "shakers".


I know, a NEW GAME!!!!!

Studio Hero!!

Where you have to buy that many peripherals it turns you house into it's own recording studio. It will incorporate such mini games as mixing hero (you gotta get the levels just right). Mic hero (Place the mic's so they pick up the optimal sound). And many More.
