In development for the Nintendo DS, Modern Hits will include Sum 41's "Still Waiting," Franz Ferdinand's "The Fallen," and Finger Eleven's "Paralyzer," going by the ESRB's rating page and the lyrics contained in the summary.

Modern Hits will mark the third Guitar Hero game for Nintendo DS. The previous two, both developed by Vicarious Visions, utilize a "Guitar Grip" add-on that plugs into the system's Game Boy Advance slot.

The first Guitar Hero DS, On Tour, arrived in June and subsequently broke sales records for publisher Activision. The second, Decades, released five months later.
