Super Guitar Hero is a music rhythm game in the Guitar Hero series developed by Niobium Moon Studios and Fantendo, and published by Nintendo and Activision for release on the Nintendo GameCube 2 console. It is the eighth mainline installment of the series, following the release of Guitar Hero Live in 2015.
==Development==
The project was conceived after director caught himself playing an "air guitar" to Avenged Sevenfold's song, "Critical Acclaim," without consciously thinking about it. It reminded him of his nostalgia for the Guitar Hero series, and he soon pitched the concept of a new installment to Activision and Nintendo, the latter of whom Niobium Moon Studios had collaborated with on the GameCube 2 console and its handheld companion, the Game Boy Hub. The new game would be exclusive to the console, and not only would it come with its own set of tracks and some new accessories tailor-made for the platform, it would also work hand-in-hand with its quick and easy backwards compatibility to allow players to import songs from the Wii versions of previously released games (as well as the On Tour spinoff titles for Nintendo DS) and make use of the peripherals they came with.
Niobium Moon Studios demanded full creative control over development of content for the game and how it is released, with minimal input from Activision or Nintendo. This is to prevent Activision from attempting to milk the franchise with multiple releases per year as they had done from 2008-2010, and to prevent Nintendo from rushing the game out with an inadequate amount of content and relying on DLC to maintain interest as they have done with multiple Mario spinoff titles.
The new Guitar Hero game eventually received the Super Guitar Hero title as a nod to the old SNES trend of certain series getting installments on the console with the "Super" prefix, emphasizing their enhancements at the time compared to previous games. At a press conference, the developers announced that alongside the familiar guitar controller, the game would bring back the band features from later installments of the series, including the drum set controller and the ability to use compatible microphones to sing or rap vocals. Additionally, the turntable controller from the two DJ Hero games makes its return for Super Guitar Hero - with the new model having additional drum machine buttons - and all-new keyboard and saxophone/trumpet controllers are introduced to the series.
With Super Guitar Hero, the developers were not aiming to do anything particularly "crazy" for the series like its predecessor, Guitar Hero Live, had attempted with its GHTV service; rather, their goal was to recreate the now nostalgic feeling of playing the earlier titles of the series while also expanding upon it by providing the largest base track count of any game in the series and offering multiple different ways for players to experience the game however they want. To accomplish this, songs of several different music genres are featured in the game - from the hard rock style that made the series famous to softer tracks for casual players to enjoy, and even genres and artists from the more obscure and niche side of the music world. Game Boy Hub multimedia cartridges containing compatible songs can be connected to the GameCube 2 via Link Cable, allowing said songs to be uploaded to Super Guitar Hero for play.
