With only a week to go before its release in Japan, Nintendo has put up a suite of videos for Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2. In addition to the traditional commercial spot and gameplay trailer, there are five "experience" clips showing people tapping and singing along with the rhythm title's songs.
We would post videos of our own experiences with Ouendan, but they'd consist of us sobbing in a corner as we played through "Over the Distance," a heart-rending ghost love story that calls for you to reunite a restless spirit with his grieving girlfriend for one last goodbye. We haven't cried that much since the last time we saw Grave of the Fireflies. Oh the humanity! Bring a tissue when you saunter past the post break for the melancholic scene from the original Ouendan game.

Yeah, that about spells it out. And it carried over to EBA as well; I cried like a sad little bitch for Chicago. ;_;

And meanwhile, the UK still hasn't gotten Elite Beat Agents...
A shop near me that often gets import games can't get a copy for love nor money, either.
Pah.

Wasn't it a DEMO of Ouendan 2 what was suppossed to be released today, and not those videos? At least that's what I read here at DSFanBoy some days ago. I mean, the videos are OK, but I'd like to play the game myself and not see how two Japanese teenagers giggle about the game... it makes me jealous! :P

I'm a tad disappointed that they don't seem to have added any new gameplay, just more songs.

Yeah, to be sure, the boyfriend wanting to tell his girlfriend goodbye is tear jerky, but what really moves me is the ending.
The Earth is in peril and Ouendan comes to all the people they helped and it's all, "This time WE NEED YOU!!!" more or less. Watching everyone freak out and over come their fears to get "the burning" and work together--- and then I see the baby and I completely lose it. Sometimes I can't see the targets. There's something in my eyes. T_T
I've been working on the last level for weeks. I have to be in the right mood to play it now.
