Rock Band has (arcade) competition

July 14, 2007 in News comments 4

And it's NOT Guitar Hero.

Yes, it is KONAMI. The original guitar and drumming game, GuitarFreaks and DrumMania is set for a U.S. location test by the end of summer.

The version to be used is yet to be determined at this time but it may be GF/DM V4.

Keep up with any changes at your local rhythm gaming news site. :3

after speaking with the Konami representatives at the DDRSN2 location test at Brunswick Zone, Guitar Freaks & Drum Mania will also be coming to the US as a location test, "hopefully by the end of this summer".

    Bemanistyle has some ties with Konami at the moment. Better yet, you can just call up the Brunswick Zone arcade in Naperville, Illinois. You can also ask around in places like DDRUK, Aaron in Japan, and DDRFreak.

    No, not really.

    We may get some U.S.-specific version. The version to be used is just the test machine.

    Success of the test can lead to arcade and home releases.

      It will use A guitar peripheral but there's an option in Japanese games that allude to allow using a Guitar Hero controller.
