“Johnny Whatever is a computer game by Warthog Texas. It started off in development for formats such as the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox, but after the developers were purchased by Tiger Telematics to produce titles for the Gizmondo handheld console, it became Gizmondo exclusive. As Tiger Telematics went bankrupt in February 2006, the status of the title is currently unknown.
The following is an excerpt from a GamesAsylum.com news article, dated 20 July 2004: The Queen has been imprisoned in a vat of mustard, and the only person who can save the day is guitar hero Johnny Whatever. That’s the premise of Johnny Whatever, one of three titles recently announced by Warthog. You attack your enemies, Robo-Bobbies, using your guitar, Nancy. As far as we can gather, the facia buttons fire off chords, and licensed songs form combos, with artists including The Troggs, The White Stripes and The Ramones.” – [Info from Wikipedia]

I wouldn’t want this game on a handheld, only make sense on the hi/fi.
Maybe Mr. Eriksson could sell some of these Gizmo licenses back to people that would use em instead of letting them rot.
Or possibly Jack black could just steal the main idea and make his own game.

They could give the license to Double Fine Productions and evolve this into a sequel to Brutal Legends :P

Oh god I wish Double Fine could finish this title… I hope whoever that has the rights will give it to someone that will finish this game.
