| 1 | !!This series provides examples of: |
| 2 | * AcclaimedFlop: Neither installment of the praised ''Ouendan'' duology saw widespread commercial success. The international counterpart ''VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents'' suffered the same fate, and neither will be likely to receive a sequel. |
| 3 | * AscendedFanon: In the first game whenever someone says "Osu" it's always using the Japanese written language, even when an American character says it. In Ouendan 2 whenever an American says "Osu" it is simply spelled "Osu". This is more than likely because most American gamers (including the ones on this wiki) spell the game as "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan" (as opposed to "Hey! Fight! Cheersquad"). |
| 4 | * NoExportForYou: Justified on two counts: 1. The game is tailored to Japanese audiences. 2. There's EBA, the Western counterpart. And the DS is region-free. Exports are selling like hotcakes. If you can't find a copy cheap on eBay right now you may have slipped into a dystopian parallel universe when you weren't looking. And just to sweeten the deal, the game is EXTREMELY easy to play even without knowing a single word of Japanese. Even the stories are easy to follow pretty accurately just from the images. Exports are, in fact, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff the main reason]] the game got both a Western version ''and'' a sequel in the first place. |
| 5 | * RealSongThemeTune: The game uses licensed music from various Japanese bands, and in some cases songs from one band covered by another far more ''popular'' band (for example, Orange Range - yes, ''[[Anime/{{Naruto}} that]] [[Anime/{{Bleach}} Orange]] [[Anime/CodeGeass Range]]'') covering Godiego's Series/{{Monkey}} Magic). |
| 6 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 7 | ** There was originally a scenario concept that featured a group of people trying to save a puppy from an incoming train [[SoundtrackDissonance to the tune of "Koi no Dance Site"]]. Unfortunately, when planning the scenario, iNiS [[DidntThinkThisThrough didn't take into account]] that they'd have to implement a [[DownerEnding failure cutscene]], and realizing that such an ending for such a scenario would be far too dark for what was otherwise a light-hearted game, they ultimately scrapped it. |
| 8 | ** A male cover version of "Bang! Bang! Vacances" (a song originally performed by a Japanese boy band) was recorded for the game. However, the licensing agency for the song thought the cover sounded too similar to the original, leading to the {{Gender Flip}}ped version used in the final game. |
| 9 | ** As this [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=h-kubb640w8 video]] by Liam Robertson for [=DidYouKnowGaming=] reveals, a third game was proposed, but Nintendo shot it down because the previous entries did "just okay" and, as such, it was deemed too much of a risk. |
