During the Q3 2007 Preliminary Financial Results Conference Call for Activision, CEO Mike Griffiths has confirmed that Guitar Hero is headed to Nintendo platforms. Now, he doesn't confirm which platforms, instead choosing to be vague in his confirmation. Mike goes on to say "The key difference in our strategy versus the prior cycle, is that in addition to full support on Sony and Microsoft platforms, we will aggressively target the Nintendo platforms consistent with our multi-platform strategy and Nintendo's expected growth. In fiscal 2008, we will double our offerings on the DS and the Wii, including Spider-Man, Shrek, Transformers, and Guitar Hero."One would think that he meant Guitar Hero would be headed to the Wii and the DS would receive the company's other franchises, however it isn't beyond possibility. Look at Elite Beat Agents and tell us that Guitar Hero couldn't work in a similar fashion on Nintendo's handheld. It could work, right?

Wow. The Wii is barely a few months old and 3rd party support for Wii is already way ahead of GameCube's.
Way to go Nintendo!

I would love to see a guitar attachment for the Wiimote! Imagin that it would clip in to the top of the guitar, then you could still point with it!
Not to mention all of the motion sensitivity.

Anything coming out on the Wii would be great.
It's the most boring $250 ever, right now. Looks great next to my PS2, unplugged and sitting beside the entertainment center. Sure, I play with it when I have some folks over, but for the most part, YAWN. I think I've played it once since New Year's, and that was the day I got WarioWare. Played it for 20 minutes and called it a day.

This would be awesome for the Wii. I've been wanting to play this game for a while, but haven't done it up until this point. I'd love to get this on Wii and rock out with my wife.

I was just thinking the other day how I may need to get a 360 to play Guitar Hero, now I don't need to.
I wonder if they will incorporate the wii-mote into the guitar. I imagine you could pop it into the guitar for wireless rifting!
