Daigassou! Band Bros DX - Preorder

The original Daigassou Band Bros was one of those games that sold and sold and sold for months on end which eventually turned into years. Every time NCS restocked the game, we thought, "Okay, that's going to be the last shipment and we won't ever need to restock it again."

Weeks later, the game would sell out and we'd scramble for restock from vendors in Japan and Hong Kong. The game was that good and its only other equal in terms of sales volume was the original Jump Superstars which coincidentally was also published by Nintendo.

When summer rolls around, Ninty will release the proper sequel to Band Bros which is titled Daigassou! Band Bros DX. Rhythm gamers can look forward to over 30 music tracks and over 50 instruments to use including a guitar, piano, trumpet, and even the beeps and boops of the 8-bit Famicom. Similar to the original game and the expansion pack, the songs are from the classical, video game, animation, and J-Pop genres. Since the word "Band" is in the game title, up to eight participants in the local area can link up wirelessly and jam together to accompany sweet melodies which blare forth from the NDS' speakers. Preorders are welcome to ship on June 26, 2008 at JPY4800 or US$46.90 from NCS.
