iNiS had such a good formula here, it's hard to fathom why it didn't carry on to the 3DS.
Community content on Osu! (2007) tends to fall short of a few things which made Ouendan so enjoyable - such as the cutscenes, characters, dual screen, screen-tapping, and uplifting music (it's about hot-blooded cheerleading after all.) Well, it's all here at your disposal, so what are you waiting for?
This was a game made with the DS in mind and took full advantage of the hardware to deliver a stellar product. The original wasn't bad but this took the lessons learned from Elite Beat Agents (2006) and cranked it up to 11.
It's a quintessentially Japanese product and the theme works extremely well in its favour. It's understandable that it lacks broader appeal but honestly, nothing you can substitute it for works quite as well, which is something its predecessor learned the hard way.
It also has the distinction of being the only game to make me jam out to a soccer anthem. It's that powerful.
