poweryoga said: In the US it's called elite beat agents, for the DS.
To be precise that's the "American Version" made by the same creators of Ouendan, I know it may sound silly but while they share the same system, Ouendan and EBA are 2 different beasts.
But yeah, picture EBA but remplace "musical agents and pop culture music" with Japanese Male Cheerleaders and mainstream japanese music (some even coming from animes).
right, but you won't find a DS game called "ouendan" here. American version or not, most of the jokes and cultural stuff in ouendan doesn't translate at all.
They may be technically different games and orient around different music, but EBA is Ouendan's stateside spiritual successor and the gameplay is virtually identical, as well as much of the same basic stuff.
