Which Nintendo handheld was Guitar Hero: On Tour made for?

Guitar Hero: On Tour was made for the Nintendo DS handheld system.

Released in 2008, On Tour adapted the console Guitar Hero formula to Nintendo’s dual-screen portable hardware. Instead of using a full-size guitar controller, players held the DS sideways and used its touchscreen for strumming.

The game was developed by Vicarious Visions and designed specifically around the DS’s unusual layout. Its Guitar Grip accessory fitted into the system’s Game Boy Advance cartridge slot, providing four fret buttons beside the handheld. This made the game portable while preserving the basic timing-based gameplay of the console series.

The original Nintendo DS and DS Lite could use the accessory, but Nintendo DSi models and the Nintendo 3DS could not because they lacked the required slot. On Tour became the first entry in a short DS-focused trilogy, followed by Decades and Modern Hits.
