* NoExportForYou: Power Gig was only officially released in the US, which is a shame as it is the only console rhythm game to include Music/TheOffspring's "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid."

* CreatorBacklash: On [=Seven45=] Studio's website, the developer only lists two games, and both for [=iOS=]: ''Beat Pop'' and ''Soulo Karaoke''. That's right, apparently ''Power Gig'' is CanonDiscontinuity.



* NotScreenedForCritics: Hardware edition. Seven45 Studios did not send any [=AirStrike=] drum kits to reviewers. The few who bought their own [=AirStrike=] for review noted that the peripheral looks nothing like a drum kit and its operation was very finicky at best to completely nonfunctional at worst due to a lack of tactile feedback; the player ''had'' to use the "special" drumsticks which came with the peripheral and ''hold them in a specific way'' in order for the unit to register a "hit" on a "drumhead".

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The notorious rarity of the game itself and the exclusive peripherals are one thing, but ''Power Gig'' also features an original song by Music/BlackLabelSociety called "Retribution", which has never seen a release anywhere outside of ''Power Gig'' (to put it in perspective, it's the only Black Label Society song to ''not be under'' ''Website/YouTube's'' ''Content ID system''). Thankfully, dedicated fans has ripped the audio files from the game and uploaded the original song online, as well as made the song playable on the far superior ''Guitar Hero'', ''Rock Band'', and the community-driven ''Clone Hero''.

* NoExportForYou: Power Gig was only officially released in the US, which is a shame as it is the only console rhythm game as of 2012 to include Music/TheOffspring's "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid."

to:

* DuelingGames: Both ''VideoGame/GuitarHero'' and ''VideoGame/RockBand'', but the latter is the more direct competition, especially since ''[=RB3=]'' is touting a lot of the same improvements that ''Power Gig'' is claiming. One of these completely bombed. Take a guess which one.
