Nintendo reveals Elite Beat Agents partial songlist and new details

GN'R is on this game?! I'm sold!

I don't see what's wrong with covers...

I will so buy.

If a song was shortened in Ouendan, it wasn't shortened by much. Most songs were 2:30-3 minutes long.

I also didn't even notice that any of the songs were covers. I noticed Over the Distance sounded better in Ouendan though. By a lot.

And I mostly hate the songlist for EBA so far. I imagine that they're keeping the last 3 songs out of this list because they're the final 3 songs in the game.

Worst ever. I thought it would have been better than that :<

So do we have a source for this songlist? Because some people are trying to discredit this as a rumor, and I'd love to prove them wrong.

[ALttP]

Unfortunately (or fortunately for some of you), this list is fake. Please do not spread it, even if you don't believe me. Better safe than sorry.

[cj iwakura]

I've got more reason to believe it's real than I do that it's fake. There's at least one credible source suggesting it's real so far.

I'll admit some of that stuff is farfetched, but I'm not going with rumors trying to take away its credibility either.

[ALttP]

This is not fact, though. This in itself is a rumor. I have "insider sources" on neogaf that confirm that it is fake.

[cj iwakura]

" "Insider sources" " ?

That doesn't sound any more or less reliable than this bit of information to me.

[Kamunt]

This from someone with two posts.

Rumor/lie or not, I'm still getting this because it looks super-fun. I'm cereal, it looks kool.

[ALttP]

Someone who joined for the sake of telling you not to spread rumors.

And the difference is that NeoGAF is where people get much of their news, and where people - game developers, insiders, web site editors - frequent and let news slip. I shouldn't really have to explain that NeoGAF is reliable.

[cj iwakura]

Bemanistyle's been around for years. Don't make assumptions about a place you just now visited for the first time.

They've broken dozens of news stories in the past, and they've been reliable plenty of times.

I didn't even know NeoGAF existed until maybe a few months ago.

The key difference: this is a site focused on rhythm games. Bemanistyle has access to all kinds of 'insider' info from that field.

[ALttP]

Yahoo.com said that Andy Kaufman was dead (and not as a joke).

Did you know that Yahoo is one of the most well-known web sites that ever existed?

Yes, it turns out that web sites are capable of being incorrect.

It does not matter if you do not know what NeoGAF is, the fact is that NeoGAF is a reliable source of information - which includes precise figures for many games most months; for instance, bunkum, who subscribes to NPD (unlike IGN, GameSpot, etc., I might add), gave sales for May and June for all DS, PSP and 360 games released in North America by those months.

And NeoGAF is not "everything except for rhythm". It's a closed forum that provides news from external links and internal members.

Seriously, you act as if my first post was "u guys suk 4 posting dis lol get a lif". When I told you not to spread it based on reason to NOT spread it. Because it's a rumor, not actual factual. I didn't post Pokémon Diamond/Pearl's date on my site until I could get confirmation. Same with IGN's 2007 date for Castlevania PoR, which I actually pointed out was probably the typical IGN bull**** (on the same page, they dated it for Japan as December 31st, 2007). Seriously, IGN is a really bad web site.

[ANGRY ABOUT ENGLISH]

Here's a fun fact, though: you're new here. We just got this information from the connections of a man who OWNS THIS SITE, and has managed to prove himself to us more than once in the past. At the moment, his track record beats yours in our eyes.

I'm not saying you're wrong: I don't know a damn thing about you. However, I will state that right now, your case looks incredibly shaky to most of us.

Enjoy your stay, though, if you keep around these parts.

That was kind of my point, since that's about the only reason to import Ouendan :|

Sarcasm about double standards, you see
