Joystiq is reporting that the craze game known as Guitar Hero will be debuting on the Wii platform most likely in early 2008. The announcement however, left open the possibility that the super popular game way move to the portable Nintendo DS. This move would be logical for both Activision, the company behind Guitar Hero, and Nintendo. Not only would it axpand Guitar Hero to another platform which most often means extra profits but it may influece some avid fans of the console based games to give the DS a try.

Here is an except from the statement:

“…In fiscal 2008, we will double our offerings on the DS and the Wii, including Spider-Man, Shrek, Transformers, and Guitar Hero…”

Obviously Activision is not only full-heartedly embracing the Wii but the DS as well. Only time will tell if the game is indeed announced for the portable powerhouse.
