I hope you all like anime cheerleaders and J-pop, because this week I’m taking a look back at a pair (or is it a trio?) of quirky rhythm games produced by iNiS that are up there as personally my favourite games on the Nintendo DS. As a development team that takes a clear musical direction with each of their games (iNiS itself stands for Infinite Noise of the Inner Soul), they understand how to create a perfect blend of personality and compelling gameplay unlike anything else out there. Case in point: their 2005, Nintendo-published title – Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan (“Yeah! Fight! Cheer Squad”, if you were wondering why nobody ever translates its name) In an interview with 1UP, the game’s director Keiichi Yano stated that iNiS’s philosophy was to create games with “passion” – both in terms of the act of making the games and the actual content. Rather than making games as pure entertainment, he wants to create experiences that “make people feel good”. None of their games exemplify this approach quite as well as Ouendan because, really, who can express and incite passion quite like a good cheer squad?


Level-5 isn’t working on any major Professor Layton games as far as we know. Azran Legacy ends the series’ second saga, and closes Layton’s story.

That doesn’t mean Level-5 will be leaving the franchise behind forever. But if it were to return, fans should expect big changes.

When asked if Layton will see another trilogy of titles, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino said:

“If a seventh game was to be born one day, it probably won’t be the Layton we know today.”

North America will be missing out on One Piece: Romance Dawn. Although Namco Bandai announced the game for Europe last week, there aren’t any plans to bring the 3DS title stateside. If you want to play Romance Dawn in English, you’ll need a European system and a European copy of the game.
