I want everyone to know Elite Beat Agents has got NOTHING on this. The japanese version is so much funnier and the song selection is practically amazing compared to the annoying poor song choices for the NA ver. Even if you can't understand Japanese, I recommend this over the NA ver all the way.
@okinawacakes Ironically enough, in Japan, EBA is considered much funnier and most of Oundan's songs are considered to be annoyingly poor, while EBA's song selection is considered to be amazing in comparison. Weird, huh?
That's such a lie, EBA was only released in North America, South Korea and Europe so not that many Japanese even played that game. Also the original Ouendan music uses popular Japanese music which made the game successful in Japan in the first place and the reason EBA was created. So there's no way the Japanese doesn't like the song selections in Ouendan.
@BigOChunk Actually, EBA was sold in Japan, there just wasn't a Japanese language VERSION released. Instead, the North America version was sold. Also, it was Ouendan's gameplay that made it popular in Japan. Most people either disliked the song covers or considered most of the songs vapid pop music (just like with EBA in North America). Furthermore, EBA was made because Ouendan sold better as a US import than it did domestically. Lastly, I DO have a life, just not much of one.
No, EBA was created because the Japanese people are worried that the Western market doesn't like J pop and their culture. Ouendan was more successful in Japan, iNis and Nintendo just wanted to share the game with the other parts of the world so they created a version with a more Western feel hoping it would appeal more. But they were still disappointed by the number of sold copies in North America. They expected to sell 300,000 but only sold approximately 179,000.
@BigOChunk Alright, true, that IS why they decided to release EBA instead of making an translated version of Ouendan, but Ouendan's smash hit success in import sales WAS why they thought it would sell. And I WILL admit that I don't REALLY have a life, but who needs a life when there's high speed internet.
@okinawacakes The songs on this game are terrible. You like them because they're japanese. Learn to appreciate the classics, my dear.
I don't see how EBA can have "nothing on this", seeing as they're pretty much exactly the same, apart from the song choices, language and equally stupid "stories".
@voerify Ah, you must be someone who either never played the game or found it difficult. They are 'silly' not 'stupid'. It's called being campy. And I've never played Osu! but I love EBA and I am sure this game is just as fun and addictive.
I can say the same reason for you not liking the songs, you don't like it cause you don't understand Japanese and it feels too foreign to you. And if you look carefully, the dance moves in Ouendan and EBA are significantly different. The Ouendan dancers puts more energy into each thrust of their arms and legs like they're fighting, the EBA dancers are too gentle with their dance moves in comparison, especially the guys.
It's 100% self-explanatory. That's why the game has such high import sales. I've never had a single problem understanding anything from the game, and I didn't know a lick of Japanese at the time I got it.
because of the japanese cultural reference (japanese cheerboys) and the J-Pop songs the game was deemed unmarketable in the US. iNis created another game that plays basically the same, but stars different three main characters and American pop songs, it's called "Elite Beat Agents".
Same developer, iNis. That's it. the main gameplay remains the same, but the main characters, situations and the song selections are all different. the songs in Ouendan are 90s and mid 2000s J-Pop songs, the songs in EBA are American pop songs, (Madonna, Ashlee Simpsons). To be honest Ouendan has better songs compared to EBA.
the DSi pretty much proves Nintendo would rather become a standard electronics maker instead of a very cult and respected video game name. In other words, Nintendo fucked over its fans for the casual people with "useful" stuff. Believe me, it all started with Animal Crossing.
Old R4-like cards won't work on the DSi, some newer one do; I think the Acekard 2 says it works on the DSi,. Simply, you will probably need a new card.
for those of you who dont speak japanese or just cant recognize this, this is EBA2 (Elite Beat Agents 2), from what ive seen this is going to be a great game, i love EBA so this is gunna kick so much ass the haters will be shitting out their mouths! lol
Finally, someone that isn't wearing weeaboo blinders when they talk about EBA. I hear nothing but "OMG the musics not japanese!!? EBA suxx!!!!!" from the fantards. Popular music is popular music; I guarantee most of the non-Japanese people playing the game for the "superior Japanese music" can't even understand Japanese.
EBA's still damn fun, still got a great look, and is totally on par with Ouendan. EBA makes me laugh out loud and Agent J is my hero; I wish I had a tornado hairdo like his.
I9 jsut noticed the guy the girl hands the paper to is the same guy who is in the EBA song makes no diffrence LOL I fell like plaing quendan it looks harder then EBA-the western version of quendan that palys western songs.
I really REALLY want Ouendan. I had a dream about it last night- but I reserved Brawl so now I have to save up to buy that and I don't have enough money to buy Ouendan. I don't know if I should be sad or happy..?
i have the game and ouendan 2 and its bad ass the songs are great and some of them are from anime like eureka seven and full metal alchemist the game rulz for a japanese game this has more suriouse moments thean randomness
Yeah some songs i hate in EBA but the majority of the songs are good the only let down is they're all covers. but as cover songs go they're not bad. to bad they couldn't get the original songs that would be awesome.
I think of these guys as the elite beat agents Japan because they only help people in Japan. While the elite beat agents help people in America. With the exception of Leo. Regardless EBA and Ouendan are both awesome games and are really essential to any DS collection. no matter what country you live in.

1) I've never had any problems playing with the mouse. It comes just as naturally as tapping.
2) You have a horrible sense of rhythm, it seems.
3) If it were a rip-off, they wouldn't openly say that it was inspired by the DS games, would it?
4) This thing was made by one guy, give him a break. Making a cheer squad to go along with any user-generated song would be insanely complicated.
5) osu! has replays and ONLINE multiplayer. Did you even do your research? =/
