Quantcast



The original Osu! Tatake! Ouendan! ushered in an era of acceptable male cheerleading the likes of which hasn't been seen since the 1989 Rose Bowl between the Ball State Nancies and the University of South Carolina Anthropomorphic Phalluses. The sequel looks to reinvigorate the Japanese obsession with all things pom and pom, by giving people exactly what they're looking for in a game revolving aruond male-cheerleaders-cum-superheroes: more JPop!

The above clip was lifted straight from the Nintendo DS Demo Station version of Osu! Tatake! Ouendan! 2, and if you're anything like my father, you're very concerned that I'm so enamored with touching cheerful Japanese men.

This makes me feel bad for liking EBA. seriously, why do we love that game when theres a "Crackrock on steroids" version available? I understand JPops not for everyone, but I cant help but think that the casual gamer would play Quendan and not care. just so long as he/she played with headphones on.

I'll be importing this for sure just for the sole reason that EBA2 songs will be as embarrassing as the original. I'll be importing this for sure. this'll be a good time killer for a 17 hour flight coming up this july.

I'm a huge EBA/Ouendan fan. But really, watching a video of an easy song is just dull.

It was either this or the videos everyone has already seen, on touch.ds.jp.

Clearly the best part of the demo was the "skip" icon flashing in the corner of the song intro. That's right, fuck you "Ready, Steady, Go".

Anyone who played the original knows what I'm talking about.

-> Mxy: You really need to import the original.

-> Zeke: Fucking eh. I still haven't beat it on insane because of that fucker. Every time I listen to the first thirty seconds of that song, a little part of me dies.

I've already got it pre-ordered. All I have to do now is wait for it to be released and get sent in the mail.
