It doesn’t add a flame-painted body or a hockey-stick headstock to the handheld gaming unit, but Ubisoft plainly wants to capitalize on the seeming unending popularity of Guitar Hero with its forthcoming title Jam Sessions. The idea: players can rock out—or gently strum—their Nintendo DS handheld game units to the sounds of an acoustic guitar.

“Jam Sessions is an amazing title with limitless potential to entertain and engage a wide audience of people who love music, guitar and singing,” said Tony Key, Ubisoft’s VP of marketing, in a statement. “Basically, it’s a guitar in your pocket but that’s just the beginning. It’s a chance for people who have never thought of themselves as ‘musically inclined’ to jump right in and play through entire songs, compose their own music and sing along with friends.”
