Anyone know what song is playing in the Guitar hero: On Tour ad shown on IGN? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.172.173.151 ( talk) 22:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
The song played in the trailers (and on the official GH: OT site) is Do What You Want by OK Go. 68.194.16.14 ( talk) 22:21, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, saw the trailer last night, and the first thing I wondered about was wether the peripheral would also properly fit into a 'first-generation' DS. Everything seems to be modeled for the DS Lite nowadays, and the ads only focus on the newer design. So everything concerning the classic DS remains vague. Saphatorael ( talk) 10:22, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
The official RedOctane store claims "Platform: Nintendo DS (Lite & Original version)". Check it out yourself: http://www.redoctane.com/guitarhero-ontour-ds.html J. Straub ( talk) 17:51, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Kotaku has the press release. [1] It may be worth going through there to update some of the references to a more official source. TRTX T / C 19:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Any indication as to why the design is different from the standard Guitar Hero five-fret configuration? 69.143.240.243 ( talk) 16:05, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
will this even work with a left hander at all?
from what i can see, to do that it must be fastened to the right hand so the left hand can strum the touch screen, but i cannot see this happening. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Murakumo-Elite ( talk • contribs) 06:15, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
maybe it will have that in options, like guitar hero III 71.53.20.131 ( talk) 23:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
I made some changes today to turn an external link into a reference, however I noticed that none of the existing references (sa well as the one I added) are actually appearing on the page. I'm currently trying to find the propre wiki-markup to generate the reference list, so if anybody knows how to auto-generate one it's needed at the moment. TRTX T / C 12:30, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I've seen this edit a few times. Most recently an editor used the "NFC" as a source. I found the site here and did a quick scan. Here's the "confirmation":
The upcoming Guitar Hero: On Tour by Activision will be made available for the portable console Nintendo DS. According to Activision, this latest version of Guitar Hero offers up the most diverse selection of songs, including selections by artists like Nirvana, OK Go and No Doubt.
Story courtesy of Gearlog.
NFC will soon publish an article dealing the games, movies and TV shows that Nirvana's music has been licensed for in recent years.
Update: The NFC can exclusively reveal that the Nirvana track included in Guitar Hero: On Tour for Nintendo DS is the Nevermind classic Breed.
There is no link, press release, or source given...except that they can exclusively reveal it. I have been unable to confirm this anywhere else that doesn't just point back to either Wiki or this story. -- TRTX T / C 00:38, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I know other GH and RB articles have discussed bundles, and I saw this article on Joystiq this afternoon. Is this something worth mentioning in the article? And if so, where is it included? -- TRTX T / C 18:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone know if it'll have a free play mode? I just lost teh game ( talk) 10:35, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Also, if you pre-order it at some stores, they have a free 'exclusive' Guitar Hero: On Tour pick stylus. I got mine at Best Buy. It comes in a regular DS game case. Ladder4321 ( talk) 00:10, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=885&page=2 tells us which songs are covers, 85% are the original master recordings apparently (!) 199.214.26.41 ( talk) 19:55, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
I think this article is written like an advertisement so I tagged it with Template:advert. I do realise it is hard to have criticism besides all the marketing information when a game is not released, but the whole article seems to applaud the game and only shows criticism when it can be refuted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DWizzy ( talk • contribs) 08:55, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
The game comes out soon, and it looks like we've got the full setlist. Is it time to split off into List of songs in Guitar Hero: On Tour? It currently redirects to the songlist on this article. -- TRTX T / C 15:20, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
I cleaned-up the piece about these, however while reading them I'm starting to get a bit skeptical. Especially the ones that supposedly "switch the top and bottom screen" as well as those that "make the highway move slower" for the opponent. One seems to make the game impossible (you can't strum if your guitar's on the top screen). And the other isn't a disadvantage at all (at least not the way I understand battle mode as it is in GHIII). I gave it a fact tag and left it that for now. -- TRTX T / C 14:51, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm going to try to do this myself (I have both a DS and DS Lite) but we need to get a not non-free pic of the Grip to replace the current one, one we take ourselves once we have the game. Once the game's out tomorrow, we should be able to do that. -- MASEM 19:26, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
The final song is "I Know a Little" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.122.79.5 ( talk) 17:59, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I think there should be a criticism/controversy section added in the near future, because of the large amount of complaints circulating on the internet about the quality of the peripheral, soundtrack quality, hand cramps from playing the game on Expert, and the overall broken touch screen mechanic that can potentially destroy the DS touch screen. A bunch of complaints can be found in various threads here. Doshindude ( talk) 20:52, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Scorehero confirming there is at least one bonus song, I Am Not Your Gameboy by Freezepop, and possibly more, unlocked by beating guitar duels. I added the song to the list a picture is here...

From http://www.cheatcc.com/ds/guitarheroontourcheatscodes.html. Can anyone get this info from a better source?-- Kamikaze14 ( talk) 02:48, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
I believe it would be much better if the songs in the table were listed in order of Tiering instead of alphabetical order(I know the tiers are on the side but it's much user friendly this way). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.13.39.49 ( talk) 21:32, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
I can't help but feel that the Reception section of the article focuses far too much on the negative points of the reviews and not on the positive, which is odd since a lot of the review scores mentioned are positive. Should it be made to be more balanced? NFreak007 ( talk) 14:29, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
I'd like to apologize; I've been removing the European tracks from the track list. I did not know they were included on the European version of the game. Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 18:22, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
The article says that seven of the songs are "pulled from" Guitar Hero 3, but GH3 had cover versions of "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and "Pride and Joy" while On Tour has masters. I make no claim about what the right phrasing is, but "pulled from Guitar Hero 3" isn't accurate. 24.195.193.133 ( talk) 03:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
In one part of the article, it says that there is a wrist strap, but from what i've seen, it doesnt go on the wrist, but rather on the knuckles. Should we change it to just say "strap" or "Harness"? 72.138.255.173 ( talk) 20:39, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm not the foremost authority on image quality, but the images included in the current article are not very impressive. Could someone please look into improving them? - Kanogul ( talk) 13:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
I own the Dutch version of the game (meaning the manual and box are Dutch) and the tracklist is not the European, but rather the UK version. Is this worth mentioning? Jawsper ( talk) 08:52, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Reviewer: Ha dg er 04:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC) I completed the review of the article. I didn't find many errors, and I can tell that it was worked hard on to come to what the article looks like now. Here is my review:
Pass/Fail: Pass
This article is a very good article. It clearly explains topics. It contains quotation marks around statements made by other people and contains sources for them. I can't find any issues that really need to be fixed. In fact, I can't find any issues in the article. This is a very good article. -- Ha dg er 04:37, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Now that On Tour: Modern Hits has been revealed (and stated from its press release to be functionally similar to the previous games) I would like to propose a reorganization of the On Tour titles to make better articles.
Specifically, all three games excluding their soundtracks should be covered in one article, "Guitar Hero games for the Nintendo DS", and all the soundtracks combined to a single list article "List of songs in the Guitar Hero games for the Nintendo DS". Because the gameplay is similar, there's little development information for the second two games that's not already in the first, and what there is can be easily added. There would be one common gameplay section, with the various additions in the last two games included. The reception section would be treated like three seperate ones.
This also is beneficial to the soundtrack since all three games can now share music across each other, thus it makes sense to have it in one place.
This will wreck havoc with what we have as GAs and the like, but I've checked on the Featured Topic and if we opt this way, we'll work something out. -- MASEM ( t) 21:32, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
i think that there should be an on tour(series) page and the seperate pages too. it would be like the main series.they all share the on tour name —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.192.184.146 ( talk) 03:16, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Here is my attempt to merge the games pages into a series page. Haven't done anything yet with the song lists. -- MASEM ( t) 18:21, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Partial setlist. Thanks to Destructoid. -- TRTX T / C 18:12, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
