Rumor: Elite Beat Agents 2 listing appears

Even the tiniest hint about a confirmation of Elite Beat Agents 2 -- a game that would surprise no one and thrill nearly everyone -- is like the skies opening up to shine a light onto the Earth whilst the angels sing. Well, get to singing, angels, because this listing from the Nintendo UK press site shows Elite Beat Agents 2 right underneath Elite Beat Agents. Could it be? Maybe. Maybe even probably ... but we'll have to wait for some sort of official confirmation to be certain.

If this were to actually be true, then all I have to say on the matter is "it's about damn time!"

So many freaking Imagine games, and there's no EBA sequel yet? i can't believe it... �why did take so many time to realease EBA 2?

The song list of the first one it's not too bad, not perfect but its descent

Ouendan its a good game too, but because im not japanese, all the songs of the game doesn't make me enjoy it like EBA

I believe they're taking their time to do EBA 2 for primarily these two self-explanatory reasons:

1. Licensing.

2. the standard translation process.

FantomRedux @ Nov 1st 2008 11:17PM

Actually tim, there is no translation. EBA is a "spiritual-sequel" to Ouendan. The only thing not "lost in translation" is the concept (3 men helping people through the medium of dance and music) and the gameplay.

Has anyone actually seen the European Nintendo press site to confirm this? Because, and no offense to the random GoNintendo reader, I refuse to get my hopes up until I hear it from a reputable source.

Venom @ Nov 1st 2008 11:23PM

As a person that finished both Oendans and EBA, I -REALLY- want it to be true... However, I'm not getting my hopes up until we get some official confirmation. Fingers crossed...

hour 1 purchase for me. The best handheld game i ever played.

stinkbug @ Nov 2nd 2008 12:42AM

totally off topic, but...

Am I correct in that no U.S. release date has been set for the Professor Layton sequel?

I'm not a huge DS user (have a just a few carts), but the Layton game is one of the best games ever. Why is the Professor hanging out in Japan and refusing to hop across the ocean?

Sad.

If this is real (I seriously hope it is), the delay is probably because of the whole iNiS making Lips for Microsoft thing, right?

BobTheElephant @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:17AM

I would really, REALLY like to see this be true.

Atomsk @ Nov 2nd 2008 4:47AM

As someone who spend enough time with Ouendan to get over 10 million points on "Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobundaze", my blood is BOILING for a new Ouendan experience (or EBA for that matter).

Kralos @ Nov 2nd 2008 5:40AM

Screw this, where is my Ouendan 3?? We don't need more Madonna or Avril Lavigne >

Venom @ Nov 2nd 2008 11:39AM

Seconded. I want Oendan 3 and Jump Stars 3. :D

I want my ouendan 3, I imported the other 2, and in my opinion the ouendan concept is funnier than the agents.

Still, EBA 2 is day 1 buy for me.

Espiox @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:29PM

Sigh.

That EBA2 listing has been on the site since Ouendan 2 was announced, and the assets are from that game. Sorry.

chibi_wings @ Nov 2nd 2008 5:44PM

nintendo has been pretty lax lately. no layton confirmation, no EBA2, no Rhythm Heaven, no ASH and Fire Emblem is out next year....what is Nintendo of America doing lately? seriously! I want my Layton confirmation now! =____= (and as hopeless as it seems, I'm still holding out for ASH =[)
