Hey, you'd know what be awesome? OUENDAN/EBA ON TEH WII!! Think about it! It TOTALLY works! You just point & click! & to drag, just press A & move the Wiimote! & just spin the Wiimote to spin the spinner!! & the fact that it could have alot more songs!!

I still play this a couple hours a day. What a great game. I'm trying to max out my scores to unlock the last song

And I'm stuck on that very song on Hard ROCK difficulty. Made it all the way to the last spinner and failed before 1 BAR had it filled completely up...WTF!

(The first song that made me throw my stylus down in frustration...twice.)

Ya the game is hard but anything that is frustrating is your own problem and not the game's. Which is something I like about the game... its not like ddr, for example, where songs can be off beat, etc. Plus the game is very rewarding once you figure out and memorize the patterns and be able to react to them when they come up. The learning curve of the game is excellent and it has a good scoring system as far as getting combos and the accuracy of your "taps." There's nothing in this game I hate, and it's as close to a perfect game as I would imagine a game could be. So I would not hesitate to give this game a 10/10, and seriously if you post on this site and have a DS there's no reason to not pick it up.

I'm still playing, albeit not as much since I've gotten to Insane & Hard Rock, and thus playing on the bus/train to and from work no longer is possible.

I'm hoping for a third game as well, in either region.

I just heard on G4's The Feed that Reggie Fils-Aime wasn't very pleased w/ EBA's sales.....

Wait, it says "To be continued,"?

I knew I should have actually watched the credit roll.

well, i finally got to try EBA, and i was so amazed i bought it after playing it at best buy(good thing i had some headphones!) for 20 minutes. This is the first time in store advertisement has worked for me.

i was absolutely amazed. the game is amazing, in spite of the (IMO) lacking songlist. cant wait till i (hopefully) get ouendan for christmas, since the songlist problem disappears for me(orange range, AKFG, and L'arc~en~ciel FTW!!!).

anyhow, back to EBA. This game also has me laughing my buttocks off. I mean, those story lines are amazing(expecially the one with Don Tanner on walkie talkie man, LOLd at best buy right there). the concept of men helping out people by dancing to the rhythm facinates me. in fact, yesterday after playing for 5 hours then going to bed, i had a dream i was in a dilemma and the Elite Beat Agents popped outta no where and everything was good. Except they were dancing to the likes of step you by ayumi hamasaki(because this is my dream, and i make what i wanna happen happen).

god, im gonna go play it again right now.

Alright, so here's a real question...

This might seem ridiculous (and it is), but it's something I really would like a definitive answer on, if possible.

You see, my friends and I are having a bit of a dispute about the pronunciation of "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!" Specifically, the second word. Now, while I personally believe that Tatakae should be pronounced "Ta-tah-KAY," they absolutely insist that it's pronounced "ta-tah-KYE."

I personally believe that it's "ta-ta-KAY," because it would be romanized as "tatakai" if it were pronounced the way they say it is. They, on the other hand, say that if I'm right, the hiragana would have been written with an extended "ka" symbol.

We even sat down and listened to the opening sequence (where the characters shout the title out loud), and couldn't come to an agreement. The accent was too thick for us to come to a consensus.

Several searches of google and wikipedia turned up no results (they went over virtually every vowel combination except "ae"), and the only support I got was from an online friend of mine that studies kempo and pronounces the various stances (ending in "ae") that way. But that's hardly major evidence.

I guess what I'm saying is...

"HHHEEAAALLLPPP!"

(And yes, I am aware that this is a stupid argument, but I just need to know.)

EDIT: Fixed some spelling mistakes.
