Guitar hero 3 on Wii using Guitar controller

Gary15 | April 16, 2007 | News | Wii 
RedOctane has confirmed that the Wii version of guitar hero 3 will use a guitar periphereal and not the wii remote.
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.

    Online play for Guitar Hero would totally be awesome. Although, I doubt the Wii can add any more creativity to the way you use the guitar controller. You can already tilt it to instantiate your star power...what else is there? This really isn't a surprise that they'd have a guitar controller for GH3 on the Wii. You can't really play the game without it xD

    Yeah I was thinking that too, but it seems there was some debate over whetehr it would use the wii remote or not, this article makes it clear it'll work like the other versions of the game.

    This is going to be a lot of fun. The Wii is an amazing system, Guitar Hero is amazing game, so this is going to be super awesome. I can't wait to try it out.

    I want to see this. It says the guitar will be similar to ones we've seen in the past so I wonder how it will be different if at all. Hopefully Playstation will keep the SG, xbox will keep the X-plorer, and Wii will get the Flying V or double neck. If they stick us with the Le Paul I'll be pissed.
