Numark has released their video introducing the gameplay of and most importantly the controller of their game, Scratch. Of course this is a game that will be going against DJ Hero this fall. Numark is the most respected name for DJ equipment and has been making turntables for a very long time. So, when it came time to create a controller for a DJ simulation game, they would be the ones that could create a very authentic DJ experience.

DJ Hero:
- 3 buttons on the turntable
- An effects dial
- Activision/Blizzard name to back it up
- Has 10 special songs to play with a friend with a Guitar Hero Guitar
- Crossfader
- Can only scratch when the game tells you to
- Available October 27th
Numark’s Scratch
- 5 buttons not on the turntable that act like a drum machine (think Beatmania)
- Crossfader
- Numark is recognized by DJs around the world, but not recognized in the gaming industry
- Ability to scratch the turntable whenever you feel like it for more points
- Numark might have a better song selection due to their reputation in the Hip-Hop music scene
- No way to play with a guitarist for “mash-up” type play
- Available September 15th
