Elite Beat Agent's dated

[Steven W]

Providing the perfect soundtrack to the summer, Elite Beat Agents launches on the Nintendo DS on 13th July 2007!

Looking forward to this one!

Like many I imported my copy from the US - I want the second, Ouendan 2....

why did it take so long to come out here?

Seems to be quite a normal thing with DS and Wii games

Yeah, Nintendo Europe wants to make sure that we all have plenty of time to play the movie licences, by not flooding the channel with good games

This game is ace, the girlfriend loves it and the soundtrack is good quality. Ithink they are originals they certainly sound like it. You can pick it up on Ebay like I did as its not region locked.

fun game, kills alot of spare time heh

I really don't like Elite Beat Agents, it lacks the soul and the good soundtrack of its prequel and its sequel. I'd just import Ouendan 1 and 2 from play-asia.com, the japanese language doesn't affect gameplay.

It took so long to come out here because its a Nintendo game, and Nintendo simply are incapable of understanding that its not a good thing to let 6 loooooooooooong months go by between the NTSC and PAL release.

Been like that since at least the Gamecube days.

anyone know if there is a planned English language version of Elite Beat Agents planned on the DS and if so when it's likely to appear?

Elite Beat Agents was always in english. It was first released in the US. What you may be thinking of is Osu Tatake Ouendan! which is the original version of this game released only in Japanese language. That will most likely never be released in english, but as the ds is region free, why not pick up an import copy of either game. Ouendan is completely playable without any knowledge of the japanese language.

Sorry my mistake, I meant to ask if there was a planned SEQUEL to Elite Beat Agents that would be make\translated over to the English language. I've got the 2 Tatake Ouendan games, I just found the games a little 'different' because the songs were song in Japanese and found it more enjoyable playing Elite Beat Agents as all the songs were in English. I just wondered whether there were plans to make another game in English?

The songs are not quite original unfortunately Try the sk8er boi level for example..its the right background music but the singer isn't avril

Still a damn good game though, one of the best I have for my DS imo
