Any Band Brothers impressions?

seems like this is all we have to go on right now. looks damn awesome though.

unless you can make your own music for sure, i have no interest in this game, or the genre. from what i remember reading though, you can, so im definitely looking foward to it.
 
It does indeed, I'm tepted to import (free headphones too! :)). I see a mixer on the touch screen, does that mean you can scratch in the game? That'd be cool.

It is coming to NA though right? I'm just scared that they're going to axe a lot of cool songs during the localization process.
 
I'm dead tired, so I'll give you some of the skinny in list form:

1. No, it's not import friendly. They tease you with a little bit of English on the menus as they scroll down, but before you can make it out it's faded into kana. If you're not familiar with kana at all I'd steer clear for another few months until it comes here.

2. Yes you can make your own music, and yes you can hum, whistle, or sing into the mic and the software will recogize and record the note.

3. Yes it comes with headphones but they're awful. I wanted them out of my ears as soon as I'd put them in.

4. The mixer CD is used to scroll quickly through the songs you're tracking (think ipod). I haven't come across it doing anything like scratching.

5. Yes, it's coming to the US.

6. Yes, all of the anime theme songs will probably be axed.

Aww. Wasted potential, still, the game sounds mighty fine so far. I guess I'll wait for the NA release, don't know a lick of Japanese. Thanks for the info though.

I wonder if you could play a midi file on your PC and stick your DS on record mode to the PC speakers and have it record the song. That'd be hot.

What I'll do is wait for the US version, then import the Japanese one - that way I can get to where I want to go by using the US version as a reference.

O_O

SOMEONE. TRY IT. NOW
 
I'm sure if you play the tracks of a midi separately, the DS can pick it up, but I doubt it has the ability to pick up all tracks together.
