[technologick1183]

I have this on my 3DS but I can only play the version that's at 0:20.

[jatboy1000]

hanebow

[MissingCamcorder]

I got this game for free! Well...relatively free. Does the term "R4" ring a bell?

[puppetsgal20]

at the gamestop by my house its $35 used =)

[TheChao123]

im going to get them all!

[autosaver]

Why is this "rare" and expensive?

[cequiaa]

@autosaver That is exactly what I would like to know as well.

[autosaver]

@cequiaa

Its like 50 dollars at Gamestop for some reason.

I'm thinking it had a limited production.

[cequiaa]

@autosaver

I've seen it go for $60-80 at GameStop myself.

Positively insane in my opinion.

[autosaver]

@cequiaa

40 dollars used at Amazon.

112 dollars new(Starting point)

:(

[cequiaa]

@autosaver

It is a good thing I don't want to buy it.

[marxandkirbyrocks]

@autosaver Only few copies where made.

[autosaver]

@marxandkirbyrocks

Yeah, they probably thought this would bomb.

[Neji1210]

Hello, Whasup buddy?

[gaiaburzul]

Indeed with the video description: its a great art PEICE

[livluvlaf23]

so how do you play? dont u make music with it?

it reminds me of SIm Tunes, a really old computer game i used to make songs with aaaaallll the time d:

[259]

Don't think of it as a game, but rather a "toy". That's how you should play it.

[01COS999]

@livluvlaf23

sim tunes it's also by the same designer, Toshio Iwai

[mmb101]

hello what's up buddy

[A7XAtreyuRocker]

"hello, watsup buddy?" haha

[mega1megaman1freak]

mine cost 32,90 euros preowned from a local gamestop

[bulby1994]

it might be just me, but i see NO entertainment value in these types of music games, i mean all you do in hanenbow is press a bunch of buttons and a fish says some non-understandable dialouge or a blue light changes direction to make a slightly different sound. can someone PLEASE tell me what the entertainment value of this game is supposed to be?

[clydebink]

sure;

First it's the learning I enjoy. I like becoming familiar with the mechanics. This is done by pushing all the buttons and touching stuff to see what parameters are changed. Then I enjoy making subtle changes. Once I've done this for a while, I feel a flow.

I will say that it is hard for me to start playing a game like this, but I have to be interupted to stop. It's mesmerizing.

[gweff]

Have you ever tried smoking Marijuana?

[bulby1994]

so basically this game is the crack pot of the DS world... im not interested into going into drugs, especially of the electrical kind...

[Betrce77]

O_o

[Mizpagh67]

i think the creator smoked it XD

[jrmhbky]

if you have to ask, you'll never get it.

[FelicitousWiggins]

It is just a game.

Get over yourself.

[nheel1]

where did you buy that game?

[uberTRAV]

lmao, those fish.

[hoodabagah]

lol those fish crack me up

[jimmythelame]

They dont sell this anymore..  but i just got mine :) From downloading for my R4

[WyrdSpooky]

You can only buy it at the Nintendo store in NYC, i have it on my m3ds.

[thendlessonline]

Hey Jimmy Can u give me Link please

[666roam666]

Oh.....My......gGod wtf is going on lol im going to get high and watch this again

[csfreak50]

o have no vlue whats going on but i'm going to play this while i'm high

[ChinoRdrgz]

the cost of this game is also increased due to the release of Yamaha's instrument, the "Tenori-On," which was developed by Toshio Iwai(electroplankton creator). the Tenori-On is a wonderful instrument & if you've yet to see it, look up some videos on it, it's quite fascinating!

[number2pencils]

indeed, but it's unfortunate considering i really want the game.

D:

[autosaver]

60 dollars..for a music game...O_O

[bub356]

THIS GAME COST ME 65 BUCKS!!!!

[VideoGamer945]

*cough* r4

[KingBoo30]

lol i used that

[cammigurlgonewild]

i have an r4 too!

i get loads of games.

[somecowchow]

caus its rareer than hell

[waflleman32]

ur lucky mine cost 80

[OwnerOfBonnieThePug]

I have this game, and it is pretty fun, but the price is going to keep going up so it would be a good investment[for on ebay]. unless Nintendo makes a sequel or something

[NalaniProductions]

where can u get this?

[cristalpaladin]

didnt understand it

[InspirationPro]

its a video game whats no to understand

[assgroos]

48 bucks uk versions(:

its still english

and i love ds for no region codes!

[smartkid401]

I could get this game right know. BUT MY NINTENDO DS WAS FREAKIN STOLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TiTuS0]

pretty...

so all you do is play random music?

sounds like my type of game

[Hockeybabe22095]

same here

[Matij1648]

Well, not really, if you watch shows like iBand, you'll see that you can use at least one feature of this game make music that isn't random.

[AutomaticGood76137]

at 16 with the flooded tree area (hanenbo*i think*) in SuPER Smash brothers rawl

[SinSlate]

if anyone knows where i can get this game since it is not in production anymore tell me please. if you live in canada on plz tell me

[SinSlate]

if anyone knows where i can get this game since it is not in production anymore tell me please. if you live in canada on plz tell me

[Jiraiya000]

Sadly its $130 for a new game.

For the US they made a limited amount, which I think is stupid.

This is probably only game for the DS that I actually WANT!

[shadowman22122]

Ha! I bought mine when it came out and it cost me 50 bucks! I live in the U.S. It's perfectly easy to get this game.

[SonofMrPeanut]

I feel like I've just taken a step onto Planet Gong.

[GS195]

I didn't know about this game! I'm a composer, too, so I think I may look into getting this.

[shadowman22122]

Not for composers. There is no way to save what you make and everything is somewhat...random.

Still fun though!

[GS195]

There's always tape recorders.

[cutthecameras]

I've uploaded a few Electroplankton songs to youtube myself. But it is tedious to come up with something cool just as you're heading off to bed and not having the ability to just save it unless I were to get up, connect it to a computer while videotape it. Hassle.

[Born2killx]

You spelled piece wrong. How the hell did you manage to do that? On topic, nice game.

[NotNotOminous]

Who the fuck cares.

[Born2killx]

As you can tell, me.

[dionysus91]

And you obsess on other people's apparent "obsessions"?

[FRIENDOFADRAGON]

His comment wasn't an "obession" it was just inconsiderate. Don't use my words out of context.

[dionysus91]

Who the hell are you?

[ItachiCat]

all of u people who care about the spelling need to get a life! youtube is about the VIDOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! forget the spelling mistakes,and keep it to your self!omg,this is youTUBE(refering to televisoin tubes)NOT you SPELL!!!!!!!!omgend of the Spelling controversy you both stink!

ps.(incase you still care,sorry for the spelling mistakes...)GGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRR­RR!!!

[lldexterity]

That doesn't mean that people should neglect proper spelling and grammar.

If we followed your logic, comments wouldn't be made at all; we'd all be making videos every time one of us wanted to say something in relation to the video (relevant or not).

Back on topic...so this game is supposed to be one of those "Experimental" titles where there is no real objective?

[cutthecameras]

lldexterity, there is indeed no 'real objective'. In the 'beginning' all the Electroplankton are already available, no need to play to unlock them. I suppose the only goal is to get good at it to the point where you're not just making random sounds.

[joroschita]

nice

[Carnacki]

Outstanding Little Video on Electroplankton
