too much osu made me able to do one thing last time:

I got my DS back, for nostalgia value I wanted to play Ouendan 2, but had no old saves...

In 3 days I had the games highest rank, with three songs FC'd at hard rock with hidden, rest of all the game's songs full comboed on all difficulties (Except easy what I do not even touch) - And only two like shounen heart at A rank, rest on S rank...

Such nice game... But Shortly after stopped playing again.

and then come back to osu and see all these "Osu standard insane maps" with just stupid death jumps over the map and stuff like "making maps without distance snap is cool" - makes me really remember why iNIS designers earned their buck.

That's pretty cool. Not as cool as an actual iNiS-made Micheal Jackson game, but still cool.

has anyone noticed in EBA any graphic glitches like mild slow downs and like a section of the screen kinda moving?

Yeah, I have noticed that many times. But it's not that annoying because it doesn't happen very often

The only thing I notice is screen tearing on the top screen. I don't experience slow downs and it's normal for the screen to move around.

AAHHH!! iNiOverlap makes small children cry

Thank you--this confirms my hypothesis that Ouendan z-orders based solely on circle number.

Would It be awesome if iNiS created EBA2 with the same qualities as Osu! minus taiko (I seriously don't know how that would work)

This thing has no shame. Hitcircles, sliders and spinners are all there. Hopefully it's fun.

Not nearly as advanced as even the original Ouendan engine. The hitbursts are still frames and they forgot to texture the followpoint quads.

...and if Reggie will license this, why not another EBA? :(

I think this game is a bad idea:
1. It's not by iNiS, so they propably stole the idea from EBA
2. If you ask me, it's not very good idea to put only Michael Jackson's songs
3. It doesn't have the same good things that EBA and Ouendan had, dancers and storyboard (it might have Michael Jackson dancing in top screen but without the storyboard it's nothing
4. It's also on wii. I made a topic to language specific forum and asked if it is good idea to EBA/Ouendan styled game on wii, Most people didn't like the idea (because it's difficult to hit circles with wii remote

The version on Wii isn't an EBA clone. That bit is DS exclusive. On other systems it's more of a real-like move-yourself dance game with motion controls.

I'm sure the DS version is going to be pretty bland and unimpressive but it'll still be neat to have another chance to play such a game on a real DS.

I'm sure you're just joking around, but the reason there's no EBA 2 isn't because Nintendo won't "license" one, it's because Nintendo doesn't want to put the investment into commissioning its development and then publishing it. This MJ game is obviously being developed and published by a third party, so it's free money for Nintendo to license it for the system

At some point when iNiS was working on Lips, they did an interview with somebody and when they discussed their history, they referred to the EBA/Ouendan games as part of a previous "era" of their history. I'm trying to find that interview but I can't right now. It didn't seem so much like "we'll never make one again," just more of a "that's not something we're thinking about much anymore." If Nintendo asked them to do another one, they probably would, but it doesn't seem super likely anytime soon. Maybe for the 3DS though, who knows

If that's the case, they need to hurry up and end the Lips era of their history, too, and make something truly original again.

Yeah, I think they should make next EBA game than Ouendan. I like japanese music more than other music but I can't get Ouendan games cuz I don't live in japan and my parents won't let me buy it from web store... :(
That's why I want next EBA game.

But if they anyway make next Ouendan I'd like to see some Maximum the Hormones music (maby Kawakita Saruin of Nitori BB Sensou. they aren't that heavy as most of the other songs)

by "something truly original again" do you mean something they've already done before (ie EBA/OTO) or something actually original again like what EBA/OTO was at the time of its inception

Well I would say that any given EBA/OTO game is substantially more original than any karaoke game, due to the fact that new stories, characters, and charts with some degree of authorship are involved, versus simply including a bunch of songs in there and transcribing the lyrics and pitch.

But yeah, at this point I'd just as happily see them create a new character-driven rhythm game with a new interface

I know what you mean. But still I completed whole game in 3 days (I played it alot)
Now I'm trying to get 99 million total score. Don't know does anything happen when you get that much but I almost have that much, but it's difficult to get high scores anymore

I don't know what the cutoffs are (I doubt anything is as high as 99 million) but there are different "ranks" that you move up as your overall score increases. I think the highest rank is "Love Machine" hah.

There's also one more novelty unlock when you beat every stage in the game on every difficulty level

If they had to put him in the game, at least on every difficulty

Does this seem like a starting template for an EBA-style for a motion control game? Apparently the game itself has problems, though.

RSG on insane is I find a lot harder than it is on hard. I can't S rank it...
It also reminds me that I just can't do SSAY on hard and hidden while I can easily S rank it on insane and hidden.
I agree, RSG was the hardest song in the whole series.

RSG is pretty doable once you've got the patterns down, except for those DAMNED SPINNERS, and there's 3 of them. The last one is an arm killer, and you gotta be perfect afterwards.

But really Countdown and SSAY gave me WAY more trouble because of the 1/4's (the last pattern of Countdown, aaaaargh)

That being said, it was too tiring than any of the songs in the series.

I heard of Ouendan of one of G4's old shows, Cinematech for the first time back I was 12. Then I was 13, I heard that's a American version released but I haven't bought this game until I found osu! when I was 15 and finally bought it used when I was 17.

Does anyone remember this game on G4? I missed the old G4...:(

As FYI - the DS has been broken for long time, yet this is it's 8th time being busted - I could repair it with whopping 12usd, but i am not riveted enough to do so for now...
Aside from the buttons being missing, your DS looks awesome. How did you break it that much though!? :-O
Mine is missing a bit of plastic missing so the screen is floppy and squeaks sometimes. Bit annoying but it works.
Now, about Ouendan... My favourite song is from the first game. I don't know what it's called but it's the one with the crazy hair video. Where they all wear purple wigs and stuff. Great song. I wish I had the MP3.
oh, you mean Road of Major - Taisetsu na Mono.
FYI the wig guys spray... I thought it was a drug

There are some good songs in EBA, I'll admit some like Lala and Walkie Talkie Man aren't my cup of tea but others like September (a cool classic song), YMCA (if you hate this, then your just muh) and Jumpin' Jack Flash (a better final music than Ouendan final song's).

But as for my favourites:

EBA: Makes No Differences
Ouendan 1: Over The Distance
Ouendan 2: MONKEY MAGIC
Yeah! Makes No Differences is BOSS!
I also like Over The Distance. :D

Ouendan 1:
Taiyo ga Moete Iru: Mostly because of the storyboard. What's not to love about a salaryman growing extremely tall and beating the hell out of a giant mouse? The song was nice too.
Over the Distance: One of the few songs that manage to get me watery eyed.

Ouendan 2:
All three bonus songs may qualify, but Samurai Blue takes the cake. The beatmap is extremely fun and the song is pure, distilled awesome. Combine that with a charming storyboard and you have the best level in the entire series. And also because Tasian, in his LP made a song in the tune of this which was nice.

TAAAAAAAAAAAP! For love and government!
Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobun da ze: Yes. I happen to have listened to it previously, as Densha Otoko's ED. Although the cover here doesn't have Takashi's distinctive voice, I still love it.

Pop Star would be here, if the cover on the game held half a candle to Ken Hirai's original.

EBA:
Livin' La Vida Loca would have been my favorite song had it not been cut. However, I understand why they axed it; it had very sexually suggestive lyrics, and EBA was already pushing it by including La La and Jumpin' Jack Flash /most likely about heroin).

Canned Heat was awesome. Even if the beatmap threw me off a bit with its swing feel, it still was fun to play. The dance was nice, too, although not the best (that'd be The Anthem or ABC.) Also, it took weeks to get it out of my damn head.

Also, I noticed that Ouendan don't do the quirky dances (a different one each level!) that the Agents do. Or maybe they do, but it's more subtle.
