It's hilarious humour, decent variation of songs and great re-playability thanks to the 4 difficulties makes this game one if not the best rhythm game ever made. Some stages has not that well made timings but instead could be better on other difficulties/stages. A few stages has really great timings which when it clicks can be super satisfying.
The Christmas stage with the Chicago's "You're the Inspiration" is one of the most memorable things in Video Games History!
- The Bad:
The sound quality and graphics quality is too bad when enjoying in 2022 that it's hard to decipher certain beats and the fonts for the numbers which you need to touch in the right order.
I recommend to play this with a protective shield on your screen and on a normal sized New Nintendo 3DS and with a adult sized DS-pen. I find the DS Light/DSi screens too small to play on for an adult.
--------------------
It's a real shame that iNiS (now LIONA) and Nintendo hasn't been able to release any remaster for Mobile or Switch. I don't know who owns the rights but it's probably Nintendo. All the songs are covers and shouldn't be impossible to re-license again. Since the game was published by Nintendo and in one stage has some art mentioning "Nintendo" - the game may be stuck in contract problems with Nintendo. And it could be that LIONA and Nintendo has lost the source.
At least I wish LIONA and Nintendo tried to make an effort making a remaster with or without the help from remaster masters M2.
I mean, this game has the possibility of selling sooo much if it got a mobile and Switch release that they really should do it.
Next I want to play the Ouendan games and Gitaroo Man - all designed by Keiichi Yano.
