I’ve covered my Guitar Hero addiction here before, but I had to post this. I just picked up the Guitar Hero 2 demo and my jaw dropped as this flashed across one of the loading screens:
Is it a nod to the Accordion Hero parody from earlier this year? Or have the makers of Guitar Hero finally realized there’s a vast, untapped market for accordion-related video games? After all, if they’ve made a Godfather game, can Accordion Hero really be that far behind?

Dude!! I want ‘Accordion Hero’!!! I wonder what kinds of songs they would put on it. Classic polka tunes or (accordion influenced) rock songs?

I could imagine a mix of accordion classics from various genres, broken down by difficulty. Maybe you start out playing “Beer Barrel Polka” and then work your way up to a really gnarly Astor Piazzolla tango…

They have to put some corridos or norteno (mexican music) hispanics are the biggest minority in the U.S. the game will have a lot more sales. I’ll go reserve mine 6 months in advance if they do

I started an accordion hero myspace group and would love to have more people join. Having played the accordion when I was in high school, this could be the beginning of flute hero, oboe hero or even tuba hero.

Accordion Hero would be a natural – even more so than the Guitar Hero Game. The button accordion is perfectly made for this popular video game and the music would be lively and fun. I would love to be able to choose from all the great accordions; Hohner, Gabbanelli, Soprani, etc..
Nice blog,
