By Jorge Campos on Feb 17, 2008 in Controllers, News

Amazon.com has new Nyko FrontMan Wireless Guitar Controllers available for pre-order for Guitar Hero III for the Wii, and both Rock Band and Guitaro III for the Playstation 3.

The Wii version looks pretty sweet, with a very similar body and headstock to that of a Fender Telecaster. The PS3 version of the FrontMan controller looks mostly identical to the PS2 version that has been out for some time.

The Wii FrontMan ships out on March 15, with a retail of $49.99USD, and the PS3 version ships out on March 25, with a retail of $59.99USD.
