Rock Band / GHWT ... ABBA edition!

No, not a comment on the music. Pick up an Abba album on vinyl and look inside the front cover.

Yes, it has a front cover. Really.

The entire inside of Greatest Hits Vol 2 is musician credits. I found a small sample on a site:
* Roger Palm
* Drums

* Finn Sjoberg
* Guitar

* Michael B. Tretow
* Engineer

* Björn Ulvaeus
* Guitar, Vocals, Arranger, Producer

* Mike Watson
* Bass

* Lasse Wellander
* Guitar

* Bruno Glenwark
* Trumpet

* Finn Spogerg
* Guitar

* Bjorn Utvous
* Guitar

* Sven-Olof Walldoff
* String Arrangements

* Janne Schaffer
* Guitar

* Frida
* Vocals

* Björn J:son Lindh
* Arranger, Horn Arrangements, String Arrangements

* Benny Andersson
* Synthesizer, Piano, Keyboards, Arranger, Vocals, Performer, Producer, Clavinet

* Ulf Andersson
* Saxophone, Sax (Alto), Sax (Tenor)

* Ola Brunkert
* Drums

* Agnetha Faltskog
* Vocals

* Bruno Glenmark
* Trumpet

* Rutger Gunnarsson
* Bass
There were more. I'm pretty sure there was at least one harp in there.

All controllers to be full-size replica instruments, of course!

Whamola Hero, Whistle Hero, Bassoon Hero, Bugle Hero, Jug Player Hero, Chapman Stick Hero... Actually that last one sounds like a good idea...

DJ Hero... Oh wait.
Now your just being bloody ridiculous....
You're right, no company in their right mind could release that. It'd be like releasing 5 versions of the same game in one year, and we all know that no company would ever dare try that.

French Horn Hero!
I once had a whim and I had to obey it,
to buy a French horn from a second-hand shop.
I carried it home and I started to play it,
in spite of the neighbours who begged me to stop.
To sound my horn, I had to develop my embouchure.
I found my horn was a bit of a devil to play,
so artfully wound,
to give you a sound,
a wonderful sound,
so rich and round.
Sounding Brass, Flanders and Swann​

How about Guitar Dance Revolutionary Singstar? It's a JRPG in which to navigate the tricky caverns you have to dance on the pad and all hostile encounters are settled by musical duel. All mini-games are also musical, especially the whack-a-rat on the drums, and there are lots of conversations to be had while walking and fights taking place on precipitous crags and precarious bridges that require you to dance and play simultaneously. There are also singing challenges, and all players wear headsets with microphones and have to take part. There are some places you have to both sing and play in order to tease information out of an opponent while fighting or a lover while making the beast with two backs (or a client while pole-dancing, why not?) to unlock side-quests that really help with the rest of the game.

The end fight requires all four players to sing, play and dance simultaneously, and on high skill levels you get a full-screen view of the action and the notes, words and dance instructions follow your avatars around the screen.

Obviously. It's almost like making a rhythm game centered around The Beatles. I mean who in the right mind would make that?

There are Tshirts for these, y'know.
Somewhere.
I can't find them right now.

I would love this though.
That is by far one of the most epic things I have ever seen (not the most epic thing, but very epic none the less).

How about Clapping Hero? (would work well with Project Natal and it's equivilents)

Maraca Hero? Mosh Pit Hero? Steel Drum Hero? Various Glasses of water filled to differing levels to alter the pitch if you run your finger around the rim Hero?

The possibilities are limitless (within reason).

Or a Guitar Hero guitar with 22 frets. Watch the lulz that ensue during Through the Fire and Flames.
That's actually not a horribly hard song on a real guitar. Or at least it's not if you're me (I love tapping.)

Piccolo Hero! Who won't get annoyed with that?! =D
