May 9, 2006 - Nintendo has revealed that the company will be publishing Elite Beat Agents, an original game based upon the awesome music game Osu! Tatakae! Oendan! released in Japan last year. It's not a localized version or a sequel.
Code-named "Elite Beat Agents," these men in black are heroes' heroes and the coolest group of guys this world has ever known. Of course, according to official records, they do not exist. Their leader, an ex-CIA agent named Commander Kahn, scans the world for cries of help. When he finds one, he dispatches the agents, who assist their targets by performing a song and dance. The hypnotic nature of their rocking revives the targets with "Groovy" energy that boosts their willpower and helps them overcome their obstacles.
Players tap the DS screen to the beat of set songs, sliding their stylus to match the rhythm. Perform well enough and you'll score the best of the three endings in the game.
