We pretty much had confirmation that Guitar Hero would be coming to the Wii back in February this year when Activision CEO Mike Griffith let slip this little bit of information:
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.
The naughty CEO wasn't actually supposed to mention that the interactive guitar-playing game would be coming to the Wii, causing a little bit of controversy as to whether Griffith actually knew what he was talking about. However, a small nugget of information has come in from the May issue of Ngamer which states:
Cult rhythm game Guitar Hero is on its way to Wii. It comes with a guitar-shaped controller and plays convincingly enough to make you think you're making real music. Hopefully we'll get the actual guitar, and not a pretend remote/nunchuk version.
For those of you that are thinking the last sentence contradicts the first, remember that it says a guitar-shaped controller is included, so it could be a Wiimote/Nunchuck ripoff that just looks like a remote. I guess we'll just have to wait for more details to come in before we make an assumption.
