I just want to put the beginning of this into perspective; they are so bored that they all scream for help, and then the EBA *makes a star-shaped hole in the ocean to have an aircraft emerge that the EBA jumps onto from who-knows-where.* This game was one-of-a-kind.
I'm right there with you! If you are able, I recommend checking out the Ouendan games that released for the DS only in Japan (DS games are region-free, thankfully), and/or Osu! on PC for user-generated levels and the ability to make your own. I mostly just stick to EBA, but it's nice to have at least some other options, and maybe you'll get more out of Osu! than I did; the game's personality, charm, and game-feel are what really get me hyped for this game, so it and its Japan-only siblings are how I prefer to play. Hope this helps! (>ᴗ
The final level was a hand-killer. I had a stylus indent in my finger for a week. Part of the problem in Hard Rock mode was that even when everything was going so fast, you could go too fast and screw yourself over.
'specially 10:28 for me. For Easy & Normal, it was 'cause of "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! too much!" *fails* but as for Sweatin', *psyches me at the last few "notes"*
No matter how many times I come back and watch the intro to the final song, the fade in of the music and then when the riff hits as the peteification breaks, I will forever get chills.
The hubris of the Rhombulains is that they believe that Rock is inert and helpless. The Elite Beat Agents know that there is infinite potential in Rock. The moment those aliens attempted to strike down the agents ws the moment they had lost. Nothing can stop Rock and Roll.
I actually bought the game in 2012. Beaten most of the game during the summer, but by fall I was still in trouble beat in the final level because of those damn spin markers! It took a while but I eventually made to get past it and her to see the end credits roll and truly save the world
I disagree. The thing about this game is that the people are able to achieve their goals because the EBA helps them by cheering them on and encouraging them with the power of music. The beats represent that. But in that moment, the Agents are petrified in stone. They can no longer give people the encouragement to succeed. But despite that, Lucy doesn't lose hope. And she grants that hope to everyone else, and with their own sheer power of faith and music, they free the Agents from their petrification without their assistance, which, in my opinion, presents a powerful message of how, as long as you don't lost hope, you can achieve anything. ... Or maybe I'm reading way too much into this game.
The E.B.A needs a new game so they can even the score of impressive cosmic cheer feats with the Ouendan. Heck. It'd be amazing if they faced a threat so great that they both had to work together like the Red and Blue Ouendan had to.
10-year-old me had the best time of my life when i played this game. it was super fun and i can't count how many times i've replayed it. i'm glad this video exists. it reminded me of fun times during my childhood ^^
I beat it when I had a DS and luckily didn’t break one I don’t let myself get that mad😭 now I’m tryna beat it on my PC with the emulator and am struggling with normal difficulty🙃
this took me a long time to beat, and i was soooo happy and satisfied. i looove this game, and would totally buy a new nintendo console if a sequel comes out.
If your game doesn't involve you using the power of music to blast back aliens into outer space as the grand finale, then frankly, you're just not trying hard enough.
I only just realized you did this on an emulator (mouse cursor and how it's direct footage) Props for beating it! When I tried playing on the pc the delay was too much, I'll stick to my old DS copy
I am in absolute awe, especially since it looks like you did both parts of this extremely difficult mission in one go. Even on an emulator, they’re both demanding songs and absolutely BRUTAL back-to-back - as a kid I don’t think I ever successfully did them both together, and I also never managed to beat JJF on Normal Mode. (That spinner section haunts me still.) Good job!
I want this to be a crossover with TV shows, movies and RUclips channels. This will be the beginning (2:56) and this will be in TV shows, movies and RUclips channels which can be on loop (3:31)
you just listed out all my fav songs to play on this game too! but i gotta add one more: la la (and i'm not afraid to say it's mainly because i used to have a huge crush on the nurse lmao)
i was a really nervous, non-confrontational kid, but GOD nothing got me fired up quite like "without a fight" that's not to discredit the final song of course! but i could never clear that one as a kiddo lol.
also seeing all the characters from the earlier levels get together and jam out was AMAZING to me! i'm sad i didn't get to play ouendan until much later, but it gave me the exact same feeling 😍 i'd love for this series to come back...maybe a "best of" for the switch? a gay can dream...
There are two parts to Jumpin’ Jack Flash that make it a whole separate beast compared to the other songs in the game. I would consider it a song with two distinct sections. The first of the two is the epitome of “hard but fair,” giving you a good challenge that’s expected of the final main act of the game. The second part is basically a huge amount of BS you have to deal with, making it a huge pain in the rear if you’re going for a full combo. Honestly though, I’m torn on which song I think is harder: Jumpin’ Jack Flash or Survivor?
For me it's definitely Jumpin' Jack Flash (and even Without a Fight and The Anthem are harder than Survivor imo). Survivor becomes pretty intuitive once you realize which button goes to which beat.
hard rock literally gives you the 300s the only real difficulty is the circles are smaller and the meter depletes way faster, but if you played through sweatin, its just inverted
Music-hating aliens led by some power-hungry supercomputer take over the world only to get their shit rocked (get it?) by the musical equivalent of the CIA and humanity itself. Further proof that this is a glorified rock opera and I love it. Fun Fact: The Rhombulan AI that ruled the race was supposed to be voiced. There's cut voice lines for the intro in EBA's TCRF page, they do sound a little funny.
I dont know if you gonna answer me but can you help? I'm in Hard Rock Difficulty right Now struggling against Rock This Town. I can barely hit 300 score on notes. This is making me fail many times. Any tips? I'm hitting too soon? Too after?
Rock This Town has a rather unique beat compared to most songs in the game. It has a jazzy feeling and can easily trick you into thinking it's a 3/4 beat due to its fast tempo, but it's actually still 4/4. Other 4/4 songs go "BANG boom BAM boom" whereas Rock This Town goes "BAM BAM BAM boom". One thing that might help is to imagine a short rest of one beat after every trio of beats ("I'm gonna ROCK THIS TOWN *skip*, ROCK IT INside out~ *the 'out' lasts for 3 beats then skip*.") I don't know if I'm making any sense. Hope that helps.
I've been struggling with the final level in Sweatin' difficulty for so many hours now. I think I finally made a breakthrough in understanding the last part which is what trips me up the most, so maybe (just maybe) I'll get it done eventually. I want to unlock those Elite Beat Divas!
I think ending on such a boring song as "Jumpin' Jack Flash" after the high energy, high stakes "Without a Fight" was so stupid. "Without a Fight" should've been the last song.
The problem with "Without a Fight" is that it has TOO MUCH energy. It goes too quickly and doesn't have the time to build the kind of suspense and sense of grandiose needed for the grand finale. Granted, Jumping Jack Flash was probably not the best choice, but neither would Without a Fight be. Ouendan 2 kind of has the same structure. Its penultimate song (Countdown) is a lot more hectic and high-energy than the final song, Sekai wa Sore wo Ai to Yobun da ze. However, that didn't stop Sekai wa from being the harder song and also the better candidate for the grand finale. TL;DR Without a Fight is like relentlessly fighting through a wave of enemies, Jumpin' Jack Flash is like building up for one final blast against the boss.
Why are they chicks? When I played this game as a kid I distinctly remember 3 guys. More specifically the ones on the front cover. Are these unlockables or something? Side note: I can't for the life of me find a video of the last level with the 3 original main characters. It's either vids of these 3 chicks or some cowboy dude.
The "chicks" are from the hardest difficulty. The "cowboy dudes" are from the second hardest difficulty. The "original main characters" on the cover are playable on the Normal difficulty.
@@Meta7 holy crap I didn't think I would actually get a reply on a 5 year old video, let alone by the creator themselves. Thank you. I had no idea the characters were related to difficulty. I didn't even remember there being any other characters back when I played it as a kid.
@@Haunter_1616 There are 4 difficulties corresponding with 4 teams: - Agent Spin (Breezin' - Easy) - Agent J (Cruisin' - Normal, properly the one you remember playing as) - Agent Chieftain (Forgot the difficulty name but it's basically Hard, the "cowboy dudes" unlocked after beating Cruisin') - Agent Starr (Hard ROCK! - The chicks, unlocked after Hard) Higher difficulty levels have higher potential for higher scores, but they are more delicate, so that's why they are associated with more noticeable/glamorous characters I suppose.

Every time I play this game, there is never a time when I don't have to choke back tears for reasons I am simply unable to explain
it’s alright we all cried during you’re the inspiration
Me too, for some reason the whole chanting of Elite Beat Agents gets me both emotional and hyped lol
My most favorite game on the DS. No other game has come close to the sheer level of creativity it had. It's a shame we never got any more.
I'm right there with you!

I still remember this, i never got past the final level, and played the YMCA level like 200 times or so.

I kinda wonder how much these people got paid to scream ‘HEEEEAAAALLPPP!!!’
Alena Dingeldein hella money
Prolly at least 100K
I'd do it for free honestly. Just to be a part of this.
Ok but how much do they get from screaming “EBA!!”

still tearing up, i was a kid when i played this ahah
Im glad i wasnt the only one. Not so much nostalgia but for thr themes of everyone comming together for the greater good. Like the ending of okami.

Missed opportunity.

I disagree. The thing about this game is that the people are able to achieve their goals because the EBA helps them by cheering them on and encouraging them with the power of music. The beats represent that. But in that moment, the Agents are petrified in stone. They can no longer give people the encouragement to succeed. But despite that, Lucy doesn't lose hope. And she grants that hope to everyone else, and with their own sheer power of faith and music, they free the Agents from their petrification without their assistance, which, in my opinion, presents a powerful message of how, as long as you don't lost hope, you can achieve anything.

Or maybe I'm reading way too much into this game.
this bring back memories
2000s games were the best
*Logically does not agree, since it breaks my principles, but heavily inclined to agree.*
Best ending sequence of all rhythm games in video game history
Ouendan: Destroys a meteor, and restore the sun.
Eba: Destroys a music hating alien race.
The E.B.A needs a new game so they can even the score of impressive cosmic cheer feats with the Ouendan. Heck. It'd be amazing if they faced a threat so great that they both had to work together like the Red and Blue Ouendan had to.

You, my friend, need osu! in your life.
Man, this game is so ridiculous AND I LOVE IT. Its just so happy and fun, I loved every second when I played it on my DSi.
If you managed to beat this game in the highest difficulty without destroying your DS screen I have the upmost respect for you.
I've been trying to beat it for YEARS and i get so frustrated i have to put it away and try again in a couple months 😭

For some reason when I was a kid I got an A on the final level but now I tried the game and I can’t pass the spin part 😂
The spin is was too finicky for me too, its annoying
Coulda been cruisin' difficulty
I miss my nds and I miss playing this... Brings back soo much memories
I only just realized you did this on an emulator (mouse cursor and how it's direct footage)
Props for beating it! When I tried playing on the pc the delay was too much, I'll stick to my old DS copy
I love how with both this level and part 2 of it is practically determining if you have true soul in the music.
....I just realised, years later.
The Rhomulans don't like music...
because they're squares.
i dont get it
People watch this like: this will never happen in real life.

Man i fucking love this game. Good times.

I destroyed way to much dsi pensils and dsi screens playing this video game 😂
Worth it! 😊
So is it sad I thought initially that the Agents had opened a star-shaped hole in the night sky to appear through it? Rather than the ocean?
Now I even saw a pun that exist only in English version when they say they are rocked out.
I miss this game
Finally beating this on Hard Rock felt so fucking good lmao
3:30 my favorite part
So that's how I beat my depression...neat! (:

Does anyone notice Leonardo isnt in this level. I know it would be impossible for him to be alive but they could of use his ghost or something
Leo and Mona Lisa are actually in the level! If you pause at 12:40, you can see them in the crowd to the very left.

Eres un maquina = u are a maquina
hard rock literally gives you the 300s
the only real difficulty is the circles are smaller and the meter depletes way faster, but if you played through sweatin, its just inverted
So, basically where osu! Hard rock came from.... Smaller circles? Check! Faster approach rate? Check! Inverted beatmap? Check! Check! Check!
