At first glance the Japanese Nintendo DS launch title Daigasso! Band Brothers doesn't look like it has much to offer. Launch titles in general emphasizes visuals over gameplay but Daigasso! seems to have not received that memo. Thanks to the DS being very import friendly Western gamers are also free to check out this title but the question is, why would you want to?
The game opens with a shot of "the only music shop in town open at midnight." You are greeted by "Barbara Bat" the owner and freaky purple haired(?) mascot of the game but since everything is in Japanese that's about as much as I could gather. If you are a fan of rhythm games then all that matters is that this one has more than 30 tracks and each one is playable with one of eight

All the instruments on a track play separately so if you miss your notes or press the wrong buttons you'll immediately hear it. Some instruments are more challenging than others to play with the drums probably being the hardest to master.
None of the DS launch titles have exactly boasted impressive visuals but Daigasso! doesn't look like it even tried. Everything is colourful but the emphasis is squarely on functionality. Animations are scarce and the few static pictures are mostly of the bat girl. Daigasso! is obviously a very niche title and not everyone is going to wade through all the foreign text just to experience it. Those that make the effort will find it worth their while and hopefully a English version is not too far off. Just goes to show that you don't need gimmicky plastic peripheral to enjoy a good rhythm game.
A rhythm game on the DS might sound like a strange choice but it definitely works. Utilizing every button and the touch screen things get way more hectic than in any guitar hero or rock band game. The midi tunes sound great and there's enough variety to keep you playing for a long time. As long as you can get over the language barrier that
Imagine seeing a man in Japan fighting with a katana. This man was a samurai. A samurai was a professionally trained warrior in feudal Japan.These samurais worked for their daimyo or the Shogun. They were hired to protect them, their family, and land. Samurais were hardworking and respectful to everyone. When samurais are in battle they win and do not lose.

Yesterday, Pearl Jam were (rightfully) nominated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame next year, in their first year of eligibility.
In 1991 "five guys in Charlottesville, Va., started making joyful noise" (Waddell 1). This band would soon take over the world and change the lives of millions. This is the Dave Matthews Band. "The Internet was hardly a factor in building a fan base and the concert industry was rapidly consolidating" (Waddell 1).
During the war that ensued in Japan, the Mori clan faced a tough dilemma. Many of the neighboring clans in the Southern part of Japan converted to Christianity. This conversion gave these clans common ground and helped connect them to form an alliance. Mori was not a Christian clan, so this strong alliance that surrounded their borders was an immediate threat to the safety of their clan and their goal of becoming shogun. Despite this alliance being an obvious threat, it took Mori several turns to realize just how powerful this neighboring alliance of Chosokabe, Miyushi, Amako, and Kono was growing. The challenging dilemma that Mori faced was to convert to Christianity, which was not their true religion, or to not convert and face possible destruction of their clan. Mori was not comfortable converting to Christianity largely because the Pope had decided he would charge their clan 2,000 gold per turn to convert to apologize for
For every scene, the music would change. In the beginning, different events such as bull and bronco riding and calf roping, were introduced to the audience as a preparation for what’s to come. The hard-hitting percussions and loud piano truly gave that feeling of excitement because at that moment, no one really knew what to expect. Although it was difficult to obtain the set list, it is safe to say that retrieving the names of the tracks were not at all important. The film and live score blended together so beautifully, and the meaning behind the slow-motion documentary was more
The Mori clan was not successful in completing their objective to become Shogun, failing because of time. The strategy behind the Mori Clan’s success was developing strong trading alliances and joining forces with other Clans to develop into a military superpower. Mori’s failure taught me the importance of taking time into account when planning.
The next song on the playlist was called “Everything Happens To Me”. The texture to this was very soft as well. The instruments were playing off each other but it was still a freestyle type of song. I think jazz is generally played like freestyle. There was no melody to this song. The rhythm was not existent as well. It was more of a free flowing song. This song had a very quiet dynamic. It sounded very romantic like something out of a movie. The tempo of the song was very slow and mild but the trumpet was going very fast. The cello and the drums had a portion of the song where they fed off each other’s energy and the trumpet was doing its own thing.
The Nintendo brand has changed over the years, starting out as a simple card company that has expanded into the massive electronic giant we know today. They have had their ups and downs through their time as a gaming company but they always have the gamer’s interest in mind. As the late CEO of Nintendo, Satoru Iwata said, "On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer" (Yu, E., & Chan, W.
The heavy metal band Judas Priest was known for being one of the most popular and most respected heavy metal bands on the planet. Even though they have had many members, they have made a huge impact in the heavy metal genre. They were hugely influenced by two of the most popular and well known heavy metal bands of all time.
Seven Samurai is quoted to be one of the most “thrilling and epic movies of all time”. The sixteenth century setting and the plot of the local villagers seeking help from samurai to defend their village from the bandits who want to take over were indeed thrilling and exciting. What I found interesting within all of the characters was the willingness and courageous commitment that they were displaying; Kikuchiyo, Kambei Shimada, Gorobei Katyama, Kyuzo, Heihachi Hayashida, Katsushiro Okamoto, Shichiroji, They all came from different up bringing and family backgrounds; Kikuchiyo, actually falsifies his identity and family background. Kikuchiyo originally claims to be a Samurai, but turns out he lies and admits the truth to the other six samurais
The battle style is a combination of a board game and a slight variation on color-matching games. Randomized rolls will propel the player's team, assembled by "unlocking" fighter with in-game items or in-app purchases, across the board. This is where the player will encounter other fighters, collectable items, traps, and boss battles.There isn't much substance to the board game, to be honest, but the levels are relatively short and don't take much time to cross. At the end of each board is a final boss battle featuring one of many favorite characters of the Dragon Ball Z universe. Once you've completed a stage you have the choice of redoing it on Hard mode and then Z-Hard, which opens some alternate paths but is mainly just more of the same.
For many years America has been known as the land of the free, but would you really feel free knowing that everyday you were looked differently over something that's unalterable? To go more in depth, during the 1930s social inequality was an immense issue, due to the constant discrimination that occurred. Such as, colored people were treated with no respect, and were given less privileges than white people. Furthermore, social inequality also came in cases against people with little wealth, and towards women. That being said, adults were very prejudiced during these times, but kids saw pass that, and saw the truth with their innocence. Relating to, the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, where
