Elite Beat Agents

[Mendez]

I spent ages wondering what all the hype was about for this game, and I didn't even have any clue what it was. I assumed because so many imported it wasn't gonna be released here for some reason, but I just found out it is so I searched it on Youtube, and it looks great!

I had no clue it was a rhythm game, and from what I've seen it looks really fun!

I'd import but there's no point as it's so close to release now.

Roll on 13th July

BTW, when did you guys get it in America?

If I may give a suggestion, I reccomend you the Japanese version. I only saw this one and it's incredibly funny. Music tracks and other things have been changed...

[Mendez]

Yeah, but won't it all be in Japanese? Personally I prefer to understand my games :P
I'll just stick with the PAL one
Thanks for the suggestion though!

I believe both Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan games have minimal text, so knowledge of Japanese isn't really necessary. I'm importing them this week after a long wait.

I've read so many great things about both Ouendans as well as the localisation of Beat Agents (which from what I gather is almost a new game). It's definitely on my list of must-buys, but yesterday I ordered both Final Fantasy III and Puzzle Quest, and GC Alien Hominid arrived the day before, so I'm going to hold off on this for a little while

Wow, that's like 8 months after we Americans got it.

That's pretty harsh.

I'm planning on buying the game.

Wow, yet another example on how rubbish Europe is for getting games
It's not like there's tons of text to translate either, is there?

[Acunia]

actually most european games do have multi-language and yes that is on of the reasons why games come later over here, tho not by much sins there are other bigger reasons for them to get a later release

also you should look at the bright side of this, most systems/games have enough time out in the US or Japanese market to get some or most unknown bug addressed and fixed before the European release.

anyway, I like EBA and even tho i do enjoy the music from Ouendan more then the music from EBA and Ouendan2, there is no denying that EBA and Ouendan2 have better gameplay mechanics (well duh, heh)
EBA is a good game and you should atleast give it a try, and if you have the option then you should import Ouedan2 which isn't that much different from EBA other then the language difference :P, they do act and play the same, Ouendan2 having a slightly better graphics and effects, but not by much.

PS: 4player WiFi is awesome

I have both Ouendan's and EBA, and they're all great games, but I prefer EBA (just) over the first Ouendan, I've not gotten into the sequel as much as I thought I would do.
Trust me, you don't need to be able to understand Japanese to enjoy this game - the only Japanese games I've ever played are both Ouendans and Daigasso! Band Brothers (another essential rhythm game).

Should I get Ouendan 2 there if I decide to buy it? I thought it wasn't going to be full price, but I don't mind that much..
I'll probably be getting it if I really enjoy Elite Beat Agents, which I probably will :P
