Whenever a new DS peripheral is announced, there's a brief moment of terror for
DS Phat stalwarts, as they consider the possibility of being forced into an upgrade out of desire to play
Arkanoid (for example -- but that one actually
does work with Phats). Thankfully, Activision and RedOctane have not forgotten that some people like big DSes and cannot lie. The Guitar Grip made for
Guitar Hero: On Tour will work with both flavors of DS, according to RedOctane's preorder page.
More interesting news related to, uh, your decision about whether or not to buy this: RedOctane is bundling
Guitar Hero logo keychains with preordered copies of
On Tour, and also selling a $60 bundle with a case made to hold the DS and Guitar Grip.

Yes, this means I don't need to upgrade from my phat until it gives up the ghost after all :)
This game/peripherial looks absolutely ridiculous.

Even with a screen protector Ouendan is messing my touch screen's calibration. Idiot brother grumble grumble.

While I know some people prefer the features of the phat, this is a prime example of the reason I chose to upgrade to a Lite. That, and it's a lot easier to stuff a Lite in your pants without looking like you're trying to impress the ladies.

Does anyone think that they'll sell the grip separately? I kind of want to have two grips, one for home and one to keep in my locker at school. My DS always gets a bit beaten up in my bag, hence the reason why my trigger buttons aren't working anymore...

if it's like with all other guitar hero games chances are you'll have to wait awhile for a separate grip.

Great! Now I'm actually considering on preordering because of the freebie. Let us know where and when to preorder. I'm not in the US so it should be online.

Can someone please post a picture of a person actually using this grip to play? I really can't imagine how anyone could see the screen while pressing these grip buttons.
