Elite Beat Agents creator wants to make a new entry in the series

It’s been nearly a decade since we last saw an entry in the Elite Beat Agents / Ouendan franchise. That begs the question: will iNiS ever work on a new game? Elite Beat Agents creator Keiichi Yano does seem up for it.
Speaking with Polygon, Yano mentioned the following:
“I have a great relationship with Nintendo. I think, as with many of these types of games that have this following and at some point they come back, I think there will be a right time when it feels like [the series] should come back. A lot of times, the platform will dictate those kind of things.”
Yano also said that he would “certainly love to make another version of it, and hopefully it’s on the next platform.”
Look at the video below for Yano’s full response.

Rumor: iNiS tried making an Ouendan title for Wii
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 1 Comment
iNiS made two Ouendan for the DS back in the day. Supposedly, there were plans to create a third entry for Wii.
Unseen64’s Liam Robertson was in communication with “a very trusted source”, who spoke with iNiS’ president and was informed about the company’s intentions to bring Ouendan to Wii. It’s unclear why those plans never materialized. Robertson hopes to learn more about the situation in the future.
So, take this for what it is, but it sounds like iNiS was trying to make a third Ouendan game for Wii a few years ago.

This comes from a very trusted source who spoke with their president at the time. I hope we can speak to him ourselves and find out more!
