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

Yeah that would have been me, presumably
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 inceptionBehonkiss wrote:

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.awp wrote:

But yeah, at this point I'd just as happily see them create a new character-driven rhythm game with a new interface
Bought EBA the other day and I already unlocked all 3 bonus cases and finished with Chieftain. The final song was a real challenge. 
I know what you mean. But still I completed whole game in 3 days (I played it alot)Firo Prochainezo wrote:

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.TraceTheKriken wrote:

There's also one more novelty unlock when you beat every stage in the game on every difficulty level
Yeah, I really don't think anything would happen at 99 million total score. But I sometimes set goals for myself is there isn't any real goals in the game (like in RPG games max level)

Yeah I have unlocked that already but if you ask from me, I don't like the idea he's only on Hard ROCK!Firo Prochainezo wrote:

If they had to put him in the game, at least on every difficulty
Also, Chieftain needs more love.
Chieftain is my favourite agentFiro Prochainezo wrote:

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

The latest contender to fill the void (And maybe the first music game for the 3DS in North America) is Gabrielle's Ghostly Groove:

My favorites:
O1- Ready Steady Go
O2- Music Hour
EBA- Makes No Difference
I hope they add an EBA sequel, or an Ouendan 3.

I agree, RSG was the hardest song in the whole series.rurounikfm wrote:
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.
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.Mr Color wrote:

ok after a year playing osu i touched EBA again
i realized i have to be extremely accurate when hitting the notes (kinda like 10 OD in osu)

Damn Yeah! I played Eba (look in my sig since when) and after 1 year I had every song perfect 
A bit later i found out that there exists Ouendan and so i bought part 1+2 and played them through the end in 1 week
Thats my story :3

I lol'd.
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...

G4 is what's wrong with G4
I miss TechTV.
I had already stopped caring about G4 by the time Ouendan came around.

Aside from the buttons being missing, your DS looks awesome. How did you break it that much though!? :-OSumea wrote:
I leave Only one image; This image shows what I achieved in my Ouendan 2 (mostly getting full combos on several songs in insane - hidden) - and it also explains clearly why I have not played Ouendan or any other DS game for months.
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...
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.
FYI the wig guys spray... I thought it was a drug
Yeah! Makes No Differences is BOSS!RadioShadow wrote:
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).Homestarrunner wrote:
EBA: Hmmmmmm, this is a hard one, i just hate all the songs....... Survivor
But as for my favourites:
EBA: Makes No Differences
Ouendan 1: Over The Distance
Ouendan 2: MONKEY MAGIC
I also like Over The Distance.

I dont have money for G4. I was addicted to EBA and Ouendan when I was in 3rd Grade, lol. Still am
I like all the songs. I wish I had the first Ouendan.
Just finished playing EBA. Timing is a little different compared to osu's timing but it was still a great game.
EBA: Makes No Difference and Walkie Talkie Man
I remember replaying Jumpin' Jack Flash on EBA so much. lol
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.
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.

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.
