Remember Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove? Probably not. Natsume showed it at E3 this year and it hasn’t shown up anywhere since then. It’s a DS/WiiWare game with similar gameplay to that of Elite Beat Agents. Gabrielle is a terribly unlucky girl who accidentally sneezes her soul out of her body and has to dance to remixes of classical music (as well as some new tunes) to get it back for some reason. Hey, it’s a setting, ok?

Anyway, we haven’t heard anything about this game or its previously-announced release window of “Q4 2010″, so I showed some initiative for the first time in my life and emailed Natsume about it. It seems that the game has been delayed until somewhere in the first half of 2011. Why? Well, there’s a reason, but it’s a secret reason. Check back for more information once an announcement is made.

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if the Elite Beat Agents were real, this video is for you. Watch those goofy Mega64 kids as they do their best to encourage nobody in particular through song and dance. Unfortunately, their particular brand of encouragement seems to work best when encouraging people to run away or look on in disgust. Enjoy their parody of Sterogram’s Walkie Talkie Man, which is just close enough to the original song to bring on a flood of memories of football-related innundo (girl = goal post? Only when she’s upside-down), but different enough to avoid a nasty lawsuit.

Sadly missing from this video: Commander Kahn.

Most of us loved the first Elite Beat Agents. In fact, when the Japanese had exhausted the first two Ouendan games, they started importing EBA. It’s been a while since any of these games came out, but it looks like there’s a little bit of hope for those demanding the return of the Agents. Or Divas.

This Elite Beat Agents 2 listing was found on Nintendo UK’s press site. Now, obviously “TBC” means the game has yet to be confirmed, so this is more or less an official Nintendo subsidiary spreading rumors, probably just to tease all of us until the game is actually announced/revealed/what have you. Of course, if the game never surfaces, we’ll bring the Agents back to life ourselves by chanting their names.

After I was able to spend a few minutes with Sonic Chronicles earlier this summer, I keep telling people that if they’ve played at least a little bit of iNis’ Elite Beat Agents, they’ll have a head start on learning Sonic Chronicles’ battle system. It’s extremely similar in the inclusion of contracting circles and moving beach balls.

Of course, there’s a little more strategy in being able to power up your battle moves before hand and skill in being able to execute combo attacks. Oh, and while perhaps I couldn’t really hear the game over the noise of the crowded convention center, I’m pretty sure the fact that you’re not performing the touch-based combos in rhythm with the background music will make things a little more challenging.
