AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 http://www.joystiq.com/2007/02/21/elite-be...l-is-on-oh-yes/ Dengeki Online has today posted Nintendo of Japan's latest release schedule, which includes mention of the long-awaited sequel to -- drum-roll for nervous anticipation -- Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (which was rejigged for the West as Elite Beat Agents). There's no release date mentioned other than a non-specific "during 2007." Four-player action is confirmed, though, as is the new sensation's snappy title: Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Tamashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan. Got all that? Quick translation: Burn! Hot-Blooded Rhythm Spirit, Yo! Fight! Cheerleading. Need we say more? Friggin hell. I *think* I can pronounce the full title of the original game, but not that. It's Ouendan 2, anyway. Hopefully we get an actual Elite Beat Agents 2, but if not at least there's a solid alternative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Ocean 3 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 Well I know what I'm importing. I didn't bother with EBA, but apparently it grossly outsold Osu, so that will probably return, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2007 Yeah, but EBA fell well below Nintendo's sales expectations. Still, it should have turned a tidy profit, right? The engine's already right there. Most of the budget I'd assume would have been for licensing/recording the music, though. I wonder if that'd be the dealbreaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Star Ocean 3 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2007 You could always get Public Domain Agents, with tunes like Amazing Grace and She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain. Yeah, that'd be cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
