Shelf those air guitars and get ready for a portable, yet more tangible way, to rock on. RedOctane, the developers of one of the most successful rhythm game series, Guitar Hero, have announced their plans to create their own version for the Nintendo DS.

Charles Huang, co-founder and chief operations officer of RedOctane had this to say regarding their upcoming plans:

"We're hoping to really bring the experience to the DS and to do some very, very different approaches. We're working through a lot of engineering issues with Nintendo. I actually came from a set of meetings with them last week about this. While the technical path hasn't been set yet, we intend for this to be a very unique experience just like Guitar Hero was on consoles. This will play probably unlike any other DS game that has come out, and at this stage, that's all I'm afraid we can talk about until we have the engineering paths laid out with Nintendo."

It is still unsure whether or not Guitar Hero for the DS will sport its own peripherals which made the original series so popular with its customized guitar controllers. The possibility of such add-ons for the DS are being explored, however.
