**Elite Beat Agents has an autosave feature. If you have purchased a used copy, there will more than likely be saved info on the game. To erase this info and get the full game experience, press down all four face buttons and the two shoulder buttons at the same time when you see the black screen with the red Nintendo logo.

Just wanted to point out that Elite Beat Agents has an autosave feature and does not save in blocks. If you have purchased a used copy, there will more than likely be saved info on the game. To erase this info and get the full game experience, press down all four face buttons and the two shoulder buttons at the same time when you see the black screen with the red Nintendo logo.

Yeah............ I'm struggling as well

Late to the party but I started EBA this morning. I only did the first stage but the touch controls were a little spotty so did the calibration and hope that will help. One thing that kind of sucks is that the sound is just horrible on the DS which is really bad for music games of course. I really like the Japanese nature of the game and am looking forward to playing as far as I can on easy, getting my butt kicked, and then giving up and moving on to Rhythm Heaven to get my butt kicked there.

I've played EBA and still stuck, so I'm putting it up for the next game.

I started Rhythm Heaven this morning and I like it about ten times more than EBA. I only did the first two levels, but the second level had me grinning ear to ear the entire time so I actually did it twice in a row. I've always wanted to put some quality time into the Rhythm Heaven games and looking forward to hopping into the 3DS or Wii one soon.

One thing I noticed last time I played EBA was that the game shifts between the presses being on the beat and on the vocal melody. As a drummer, I hate this. I noticed it on the YMCA level, and I hope it doesn't trip me up too much as I progress through the game. I do absolutely love the presentation of that game though, it is very Danganronpa-esque.

I beat EBA and I'm watching RH on YT because it's not worth the effort for the perfection the game demands.

Rich and I are recording tomorrow for these two. It may turn out that we're not high on either game, they both have some strong redeeming qualities. Should be an interesting show.
