Nintendo DS Lite Guitar Hero: On Tour Bundle
Description
This special edition Nintendo DS Lite bundle is a time capsule of peak portable gaming. It includes a sleek silver DS Lite with the Guitar Hero logo, the guitar grip accessory, Guitar Hero: On Tour game cartridge, and a custom guitar pick stylus.
The guitar grip fits into the GBA slot and mimics the fret buttons from the console versions. You strum with the stylus on the touchscreen while pressing buttons on the grip, a surprisingly fun, clever setup that translates the Guitar Hero energy into handheld form.
