DS: Elite Beat Agents Sequel Announced

[ICE]

We gave last year's Elite Beat Agents a 9.5, so you can bet we've been hoping for a sequel. Our hopes were fulfilled today. Japan's Dengeki Online reports that a sequel to the unique rhythm title is being readied for Japanese release later this year.

In Japan, the sequel will be titled Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Tamashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 (the original was just Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan). The first part of the title translates to "Burn! Hot Blooded Rhythm Soul!". Now we're really excited!

Aside from the promise of multiplayer support for up to 4 players, details on the sequel have yet to be made public.

Nintendo Japan announced a few other games today, including more "non-games" that Japan is sure to eat up. Check back here at IGN DS and over at IGN Wii for more details to follow.

Wasn't this already posted?

Still good news though. I hope they localize the sequal as well, though given the disappointing sales of the first one, they might consider it to be too much trouble.

no, that old one was the sequel to Oendan, which i find better than EBA because of the better amount of good songs although i cant understand them. They just have good rhythm.

It's the same, the actual full article name on IGN is "Elite Beat Agents Sequel Announced (Sort of)"

Never says anything about an actual sequel to EBA, just hopes for it

I actually found about.....11 songs that I liked..
