Guitar Hero is coming on the Nintendo DS. Now you can play Guitar Hero DS that too without the original game’s guitar. Activision is coming up with Guitar Hero: On Tour for Nintendo DS.

The bundle of the Guitar Hero game for DS comes along with the Guitar Hero Guitar Grip peripheral. The Guitar Grip fits snugly into the DS and allows gamers to rock the game.

“We are continuing to introduce new and exciting ways to bring music to audiences with Guitar Hero,” said Dusty Welch, head of publishing for Activision/RedOctane. “The Guitar Hero Guitar Grip redefines how games can be played on handheld systems and the integration of the microphone and touch screen gameplay on the DS, further illustrates Guitar Hero’s leadership in delivering the most unique and creative quality hardware and software on the market.”

Guitar Hero: On Tour for Nintendo DS is especially designed for Nintendo’s portable console. The game includes six characters out of which two are specifically designed for the DS. Also, gamers can setup their guitarists in various styles.

The game is rated as “E10+” (Everyone 10 and older) by the ESRB and is expected to hit the market in the summer of this year.
