From the review, "Since Daigasso! Band Brothers DX was recently released in Japan (on June 26, 2008), I figured it would be a good time to take a look back at the original Daigasso! Band Brothers.
The game is a cross between a music simulator and a music game, where people could play music with the face buttons. Pressing the wrong button, or failing to make a note sharp or flat with the shoulder buttons at higher difficulty levels, will cause the wrong note to be played. The goal is to successfully complete a song while keeping time with the beat and pressing correct buttons."
Chris Buffa (Modojo): A short while ago, Nintendo seemingly closed the door on the possibility of releasing Wii RPGs Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and Pandora's Tower in the U.S., much to the chagrin of its fans, some of which launched a grassroots effort called Operation Rainfall to get these games published.
I imported Ouendan 1 and 2 , as well as Jump Ultimate - they work fine as the ds is region free.
Good games btw.
The Lost Gamer writes: "Nintendo has announced that the upcoming music game for Nintendo DS Jam with the Band will feature 50 pre-installed tracks and a number of new features."
From the article, "Things are starting to gradually shift. Nintendo took a chance and released Rhythm Heaven in North America. The Legendary Starfy, the fifth game in the series, is going to mark the series' debut outside of Japan. Perhaps this is a good sign that Nintendo is going to be more accepting of new properties in the future.
Gamertell's taking a look back today at some of the Nintendo published DS titles that have been passed over until now. A few had tentative US release dates that never happened and whispered rumors have spread about the possible release of others. One thing's for sure, all of the following games would be welcome additions to the North American game library..."
i wish jump ultimate stars could come to america but that's just one of those treasures that will never come over seas at all :[
Yeah, I wish Jump would release here as well. There is still hope. That Starfy game in now on it's 5th entry and in now about to come here, so any of those japanese games could be released here at some point.
Europe is missing quite a lot of these too and there's some games only high profile Club Nintendo people in Japan can get like a Balloon Fight game starring Tingle.
It's mad...
Great game. I picked this import up from a trade show years ago. Thanks for making the DS region-free Nintendo!
The tales of On ds is all namco fault ...
They are missing god how many sales but if only US people knew that rpg isn't limited to final fantasy ...
I actually bought both Jump games and i have not regreted it since ..it's such a good game ...
Also this article is missing OUENDAN ( elite beat agent doesn't count )
But this is too a licensing nightmare with the songs involved ...
