Today Ubisoft announced that Jam Sessions, a music title exclusively for the Nintendo DS in which players actually strum a guitar via the Touch Screen to make music, will launch in North America in June 2007. Players rock out or strum ever so softly on the lower screen of the Nintendo DS, producing a sound digitally remastered from an actual acoustic guitar. The simple interface guides players into the various modes which include Performance Mode, allowing users to sing and play along both yesterday and today's hottest artists; Free-Play Mode, where people can play anything they chose; and Tutorial Mode where novice musicians will learn to play guitar without paying for lessons.

Players will also be able to record what they play and play it back, making Jam Sessions a virtual notepad for players to write, play and save their original music anytime, anywhere. Jam Sessions will make its U.S. debut at the SXSW in Austin, Texas, where attendees of the Screenburn Arcade (March 10-11) and the Music Festival (March 15-17) will be the first to get hands-on experience with this title.
