DS Guitar.... DS SOLOOOOOOO! \m/
This is insane. I will have to track down a copy to give it a go, but here's a bit of guitar for your DS. It's called Hiite Utaeru DS, and it looks groovin. By the look of the NSCX description, you only have access to chords rather than single string plucks, but it does work with upward and downward stylus (and presumably pick) movement.
Apparently the d-pad buttons and the a/b/x/y buttons all denote a key and then you also have the L and R shoulder buttons which function as modifiers. Fantastic.
Meet the strangest axe ever in the annals of guitar technology. With 16 chords to use at any time from a library of 120, users may strum out a song relatively easily if you're familiar with basic guitar playing. We were able to play the Main Riff I for "Fast Car" by Tracy Chapman and "Torn" from Natalie Imbruglia this morning by following guitar tabs found on the web. In addition to its function as a guitar, the software also includes a library of 20 songs and a listening-then-repeating exercise.
Nice. Although I'm a bit suss on anyone playing Torn for any other value than comedy. The cover backshot explains things a little better, also check out the great little illustration down in the corner!
