Piano Hero?
Engadget reports that the game Easy Piano for the Nintendo DS will launch in November in Europe and Asia. There is no US launch date yet.

- 8 note piano keyboard peripheral
- Requires GBA slot, so only works on the classic Nintendo DS and not the new DSi
- Includes 40 songs, such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Bittersweet Symphony, Every Breath You Take.
- Lesson mode and mini-games for learning to play the piano
- Creation mode allows recording up to four 3 minute songs
There have been arcade piano games, like Keyboard Mania (scroll to bottom of that post for video). But actual fake plastic music games with keyboards are somewhat rare.



I know you’re just quoting the Engadget article, but it seems to me there are 13 notes (buttons) there… Are the black keys not playable?
