If they are planning a guitar peripheral for the Wii version, then what would the Wiimote be used for? I can't think of anything that would stand out in the Wii version of the game.

Lets say they do nothing special with it, EXCEPT they simply have it pluged into the guiltar (where the nunchuck normally would be) and it sensing the tilt to activate star power, rather than putting that into the guiltar. Would this make the guiltar sold separatly cheaper? That would be a big bonus on its own.

Probably not. The tilt sensor probably only costs a few dollars. They would have to spend a lot more in development costs to design a whole new guitar controller for the Wii. My guess is that they would save more by using a standard controller for all platforms than to create a separate one for the Wii.

Not necessarily. Designing a "cheaper"guitar wouldn't cost a lot (when they already have existing designs), and if production is even $10 cheaper that makes a large difference over half a mill (or more) units. Most of the electronics, bluetooth, comms - all comes for free with the Wii. Just need to interface into the Wiimote.

Haven't played enough GH2, but the Wii version *should* have better tilt 1-1 control for the guitar (which really doesn't mean much :>). Depends what other features they plan to add to GH3.
