Ouendan is an amazing rhythm game on the Nintendo DS that was released in mid 2005 in Japan. Made by Inis (the brilliant game creators behind Gitaroo Man), Ouendan has you tap buttons, follow tracks, and spin wheels to the rhythm of silly Japanese Pop songs. The entire vibe of the game has a very engaging off kilter Japanese feel. The main characters of the game are a band of male cheerleaders that cheer on a variety of people in the hopes of having them overcome absurd obstacles. The scenarios are always inventive yet hilarious and, even those unfamiliar with Japanese will be able to understand the jist of every story through the hilarious narrative art. Although Japanese sales for Ouendan were disappointing, the international following was large enough to garner an English sequel called Elite Beat Agents. Both games are great, but I found the Ouendan song selection to be a bit more refreshing. If you have any interest in picking up something wacky and fun on your Nintendo DS I strongly urge you to pick up one of these games. Elite Beat Agents is widely available in the US. Ouendan is still fairly easy to pick up at your favorite videogame import store.
