Activision apparently has another Guitar Hero title for the DS in development called Guitar Hero Modern Hits. The company has already released two titles for the portable in a short amount of time, so I’m assuming that this will be similar to the previous two with a different tracklist.

“This is a music and rhythm simulation game in which players can perform songs on a guitar. Players follow on-screen prompts to hit notes in-time with the music and are scored based on their accuracy. Some song lyrics contain references to violence, (e.g., “drop dead a bullet to my head”), alcohol (e.g., “turn the rich into wine” and “we stole and drank champagne”), and suggestive content (e.g., “if your body matches what your eyes can do”).” – ESRB description

In case you didn’t know, the DSi shop opened for business yesterday. Some of the software available really makes me wish that the DSi was already out in North America!
