Guitar Hero III for Wii using guitar controller.

[Fran]

"In an interview with IGN, RedOctane's co-founder and president Kai Huang has confirmed that the Wii version of Guitar Hero III uses a guitar peripheral and has online elements.

Guitar Hero III is scheduled to hit PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii in Autumn this year. However, many were left wondering whether
the Wii version would require a guitar peripheral - like previous Guitar Hero titles - or utilise the console's Wiimote.

While the development team is still exploring innovative ways to use the remote, Kai Huang told us: "We are really excited about the Wii game because there are so many options for the Wii remote. However, you will play the game with a guitar peripheral and it will be similar to a guitar you've seen in the past."

He also confirmed that Guitar Hero III on Wii contains features included in other versions of the upcoming game - such as online play and downloadable music.

Figured this would happen. It's the most logical way to make the game on there.

Half of the fun is the guitar controller anyway.

It will probably have the remote attach to the guitar somewhere.

Either way, I can't wait for this game.

If you can play the Mario and/or Zelda themes, I'm buying this in a heartbeat.

I'm with you....that would pretty much rock. Maybe even the Zelda theme.t:

While this isn't an official guitar for the game, I'm thinking this will be pretty close to what we get for the Wii version. Personally, I'm hoping for Eddie Van Halen's guitar as the model...now that would be awsome.

yeah, the idea of were to put the remote is a safe bet. and i honestly hope its close to the way the xbox 360 guitar is. another great thing about this design is... its wireless right of the box, unlike the current 360 guitar. but it will most likely drain the hell out of your batteries.

It needs to be a flying Vii.

That is so clever I feel like kicking your ass and claiming it as my own.
