Ouendan 2, the follow-up to the very popular Ouendan, was first offered in demo form at download stations in stores today, May 10th. We thought we'd report on the quick download.
Ouendan used the stylus for rhythm action to cheer for people on the down-and-out. Essentially, gameplay consists of touching icons shown on the screen. In the demo, two types of icons are available: the Hit Marker and the Slide Marker. If the musical performance keeps sprits up 'til the end, the stage is cleared.
The story was about a clipping competition between barber Kaimitsu Moriyama (age 37) of the Charisma Salon and rival Eagle Shinagawa; the winner receives the other's shop. The desperate Moriyama calls for help, and it becomes the player's mission to help him out of the pinch.
The playable portion of the musical performance goes through the 2nd part or until the player loses, whichever comes first. Unlike the demo for Panel de Pon, there is no limit to the number of continues, but it's still a short experience. Although the game hasn't really changed, some differences could be seen.
First of all, the basic gameplay hasn't changed. Perhaps for a demo, just showing the standard gameplay is enough, as there wasn't anything strikingly different to be found while playing. Surely those who played the last game don't need to be impressed?
What has changed is the general ease-of-use. In the last game, the musical performance up to the starting point couldn't be skipped, but this time it can be skipped abruptly. This along makes playing a song over multiple times much easier. Also, in the last game, there were often times when one would lose sight of the icons, but since a finger icon directs players where to move for the next icon this time around, that problem has been alleviated.
Just as fun as the original and much easier to play, Ouendan 2 will be released on May 17th for 4800 yen.

The pointer mentioned in the article is exclusive to the demo level, and, like EBA, the Easy mode of Ouendan 2.
While such a feature is not new to us, it is new to people who only played the first Ouendan(Japanese players, and, apparently, this website.)
I drew this conclusion from the gameplay videos, the official trailer, and so on.

I saw the commercial last night, it was pretty simple. They showed a cute girl playing the game, she was playing the song Kibun Jo Jo by Mihimaru GT.
It was pretty standard as far as Nintendo commercials go, I wonder if Nintendo is helping out with advertising?

It's probably just a demo/first few levels of easy mode thing, like in EBA.speedpop said:

He said it broke 100k.MegaByte said:
But on GAF, anything below 300k is a bomb.
Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I'm playing through Ouendan to beat all the songs on the 4th difficulty before Ouendan 2 comes out.
When playing Ouendan, am I the only one who feels like yelling OOUUENDAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!! I need someone to cheer me on and help me out with RSG.

The Ayaka song is far far far far better.
I'm bored so I translated some lyrics.
Zenryoku Shonen (Full powered Youth)
First Verse
Tripped, fell over and got left behind in the mud again today. I got up and limped away as usual.
In my muddy up world, there's nothing there to dry me up. My loneliness has stuck around so long it's getting hard to get rid of.
Even after being tested I decided that I'm not backing down,　and like a spell murmured the words　"No way"
Chorus
Break down the wall you built up, Take unto yourself the thing you found, with no end, with blood and sweat, quench your thirsty mind.
The me of that era must have been a Zenryoku Shonen.
Who will be the one to broaden their horizons?
2nd verse
Doesn't matter where, I won't stop looking for the answers,　over the muddy water and dreams, I wont hesitate to cross over.
Chorus
Break down the wall you built up, Take unto yourself the thing you found, Draw up a map of the dreams that keep piling up and connect the dots. Without a doubt, we were zenryoku shonen.
I am the one who will broaden his horizons
My vision is now perfectly clear.
The video was a shortened version with just these lyrics, I expect the scene for this song to be really uplifting, like the song!

They made Jumping Jack Flash a final level song for Elite Beat Agents. JJF is an oldies classic that is the furthest thing from my mind in a Rhythm game.
You bet your ass they would have found a way to make it work.

It is a little off topic, but in commemoration of Ouendan 2 coming out next week I tried to beat Ready Steady Go on Hard Mode (the third difficulty).
After 150 tries I finally beat it and unlocked cheerleader mode, only to get my ass handed to me in the FIRST level. The hit markers are smaller and they require insane amounts of memorization since they only appear 2 seconds before you hit it.
Cheers, I finally hit the difficulty level most of you got to a long time ago.

Grats on unlocking cheer girl mode. I always found that by the time you unlock cheer girl you are already so used to the patterns of everything on hard that it isnt as hard. The problem is when, like in your case, you haven't played the lvls on hard for a long time then you will have a hard time on cheer girl. Still its the same beats just mirrored and smaller.Hcoregamer00 said:

Yeah, lets just say I got the game in October last year, got all the way to RSG on Very Hard and gave up on it. After Ouendan 2 was announced I figured I would get in the swing of things by beating Ready Steady Go and Jumping Jack Flash to unlock the final difficulty level. Now that I unlocked Cheerleader mode it is time to jump into EBA and unlock the Diva's.
:lol

Don't worry, I am the same way in Cheerleader mode in Ouendan. After playing the game for like 50+ hours with nothing but male characters I couldn't help but be distracted by the little fact that you are in control of the girls now.
Damn you!!! This is the secret to the Very Hard Difficulty.
:lol
Edit: Does me getting to Cheeleader Mode renew my Hardcore Gamer's license, because only an insane hardcore gamer plays the same level 150 times until they unlock an EVEN harder difficulty level.
