Official Ouendan 2 Thread!

Mr E

With tomorrow being Ouendan 2 day in Japan (or today, wink wink), its time to start an official thread about Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii: Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2.

This could easily be one of the biggest sellers on the DS (especially in Japan), and will probably break lots of import records too.

Looking forward to hearing feedback!

Have yet to put in my order but will do as soon I finish up college on Tuesday.
Love this game for it's soundtrack more than anything.

Stupid Play Asia didn't ship mine until today so now I play the waiting game
They definitely had them in stock yesterday, maybe even the day before.

I thought the original sold fairly badly in Japan?

I got some pretty funny looks in work after letting out an excited whoop when my dispatch email from play-asia arrived:p

Mr E

Just played first 6 levels. Its Ouendan.... not much has changed, and if you've played through the other 2 games, you'll find it easy going (to start with, anyway!).

At least you can skip song intros now (like EBA), so you can jump straight into it.

Cut scenes are still self explanatory, but there seems to be alot more text than Ouendan.

Looking forward to playing through the rest of it.

I've one question:

WHY WON'T THOSE ****S SEND ME MY CREDIT CARD SO I CAN ORDER THE TWO OUENDAN GAMES!!!

koneko

Is it on the way retr0? If you really get stuck, maybe I could help out (as long as you're paying for the games that is, I'm not a charity )

Retr0gamer

If I get deperate next week I might give you a shout, as long as you are willing to accept payment in packets of monster munch.

It would take a strong person than I am to resist such a tempting offer.

Played through all the levels (bar some of the bonus ones) on normal mode this morning. As was said, pretty much nothing has changed which was slightly disappointing (thought they might throw in one or two new mechanics to mix it up a bit), but the songs are the along the same bizarre J-pop lines as before, which was always the charm. Story seems standard enough, but nice (I think!) all the same. I suppose I'd say it's pretty much more of the same, which is no bad thing, and at least as good as the original.

It's out? Why the hell wasn't I paying attention?

*goes off to order*

Why oh why are deliveries from Asia so slow!

Timans

Why oh why don't we all live in Asia?

Hmmm... it's kind of crap so far, but the again i'm only 8 songs into it and playing on easy.

there's been an absolutely terrible selection of songs so far, and the cover of shounen heart is absolte tripe (not that it's a great song in the first place... they just managed to ruin it somehow)

can't see it living up to Ouendan's greatness, but I'll stick with it...
