The core concept is identical: players use a plastic guitar peripheral to play the guitar sections of songs by following the cues on the screen and pressing the matching buttons on the instrument in time. In addition to the PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Wii U versions, the new Guitar Hero will also be available in fully featured playable-on-your-TV form for select mobile devices.

The team has a pedigree, and that pedigree has hands-on Nintendo experience. Going back further, Freestyle Games made both of the DJ Hero games, which were both fantastic. Sing Party was a well-developed game that made use of the Wii U’s features it just was a rote karaoke game with a limited song catalog on a system that floundered right out of the gate.
