'Accordion Hero' To Hit Stores This April
Those rascally Germans at Schadenfreude Interactive, who have recently been posting information on their Teutonic titles at GSW sister site Gamasutra, have just put up information on their April 2006 retail release, Accordion Hero.
An advertisement for the soon-to-be-classic game appears in the April issue of Computer Games Magazine, alongside an ad for 'zombie U-boat simulator' Dead Men Rising, which is equally awesome, but let's concentrate on Accordion Hero for now, offering, as it does, "all the great accordion melodies you've ever gotten really, really drunk to...from Ein Munchen Steht Ein Hofbrauhaus to Rock You Like A Hurricane."
The Schadenfreudians also add that the title "...comes with one Gloss Black USB accordion controller. Kirschrot (Cherry Red) controller sold separately for two-player squeeze action. Awesomely rad sticker sheet included." Awesome indeed, and the in-game screenshot makes it clear that Schadenfreude's blatant Boston-based imitators Harmonix should prepare for an army of towel-wielding German lawyers, any day now.

This site has made the rounds several times including "Grand Theft Ottoman" and "Hannibal Crossing".
General rule about game shots. If the characters look like they came from Poser.
9 out of 10 times.
It's. Not. Real.

This may look fake, but look up Accordion Hero at Google, and on the first site, there is a website. Go to it. It will tell you what the game comes with. It will even show you a snapshot of the game. I know it's fake, because we have that kind of technology to make pictures look like it's from a real game. It's still fun to trick your friends withn it, though

Proof of accordion hero being fake:
the industry that "made it" was called schadenfreude, which is german for pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune
