Elite Beat Agents

Shadow.EXE · Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2006 8:06 pm Post subject: Elite Beat Agents

I recently played a demo of what could be Nintendo's quirkiest DS game ever - Elite Beat Agents. You must tap and drag icons with the rhythm of the music to help fix certain situations, like helping a movie director to perfect a scene. It's a rare game in which success and failure are equally satisfying. What do you guys think of this game?

Here's a link if you want more information:

Also known as Osu! Tatakea! Ouendan It does sound like a great game. It has a different soundtrack/characters then the jp. version but it should be as good.

Yeah, they're actually redoing the ENTIRE game. Not just a few graphics or songs. THey rebuilt the game from the ground up for the US. Which sucks, kinda. But I don't mind too much. It's like DDR :D

Funny story, I saw a video of DDR on a phone. I have no idea how that works. I only say that because someone mentioned DDR.

Izumi, I saw a report on Nintendo Power's website that showed the game's preliminary song list for the American version about a week ago. If I remember correctly, 'Ready Steady Go' was on the list. I don't know if the article is still there, but this is their website link if you want to check it out: http://www.nintendopower.com/home

There's no way that game can compare to the original version, if there is no crazy Japanese egyptian song.

Though I'll prolly end up buying both anyways. Long as there is no Britney Spears.

Thanks Shadow. The article doesn't appear to be there anymore, though, and I couldn't find any mention in this month's NP either. x.x

A friend showed me this game back in May - looked very awesome. Seriously, what's better than saving the world with Ready Steady Go?!

A pity the game's being trashed for US release... hopefully they'll at least have some decent songs.

I just played through the game (Costco broke the street date) and it's FANTASTIC!

All I can truly say is YMCA and September for the WIN!

Oh yeah, EPIC ENDING
