Learning how to play the piano just became easier and more fun with Easy Piano from VALCON GAMES. Created by the production company Game Life, Easy Piano is a new innovative piano music game for the Nintendo DS™ system that allows players to have fun playing a game, learning how to play the piano and composing songs. Thanks to a 13-note, full-octave external keyboard peripheral, this is as close as you can get to playing a real piano on a game console. This product started shipping into North American retail this week for an SRP of $39.99 and will be available at Wal-Mart, Amazon.com, Toys “R” Us and other retail and online chains.
