In an interview with CNET, Red Octane's Charles Huang confirmed that the company is hard at work on a version of Guitar Hero III for the DS, possibly with a new peripheral:
The DS peripheral is very intriguing to us. It's an integral part of the Guitar Hero experience, so as much as possible, we would like to keep it within the experience as long as it makes sense and it plays well. And we can do it on the DS where it not only makes sense for the title, but also for the way people like to interact with the DS. It needs to be affordable and it needs to fit within the environment that people normally play DS games in, but central to it all, we are exploring ways to get peripherals on a DS game.
Huang said Red Octane is hoping to bring a "very, very different" approach to the DS version of Guitar Hero. I'm a bit dubious as to how well a DS game will replicate the Guitar Hero experience we've come to know and love, so we'll have to wait and see just what that different approach turns out to be.
