So I was bored today and I popped the Wii-Mote into the Guitar Hero controller, I popped Mario Kart Wii into the console, and I played Mario Kart Wii replacing the Wii Wheel with the Guitar Hero controller.
It’s like driving a semi truck.
Yeah… I’m weird.
Eh, it’s been a while, which means nothing has happened – until today.
I heard, and you probably have too, that Nintendo is planning a new Kid Icarus game. Sounds pretty good. I’ll probably get it, but I wonder how good it’ll be. Will it be an adventure like Super Mario Galaxy or will it be a retro side-scroller like the Subspace Emissary and Super Paper Mario?
But the real exciting news is Guitar Hero IV. It’ll have customizable characters, guitars, and songs. I’m really looking forward to writing my own songs. I’m gonna make ten minute long torture-fests that will exceed Through the Fire and Flames by a long-shot.
If you play Guitar Hero four hours a day the same old strumming can get a bit tiring. Here are some ways to make the game like new again.
Piano Style or Dobro Style, as I call it. Hold the Guitar flat on your lap and play it like that. It’s the best of these three to start with because it’s easy.
Violin Style. Hold the guitar like a violin. I like this a lot… makes me feel sophistimacated. Sometimes if I’m feeling really gutsy, I’ll use the Whammy Bar as the bow. Otherwise I just hold it like a violin and play it like a guitar.
Wii-Mote Only. I don’t know if you can do some variant of this with XBox or PS2/3, but you can do it with the Wii for sure. It’s the most challenging if you’ve played with the guitar for a long time. B=Green. Right Arrow=Red. A=Yellow. 1=Blue. 2=Orange. Up Arrow=Star Power. Shaking the remote=Whammy. It can get pretty complicated. I’ve been too much of a chicken to try it on anything higher than Medium.
