(Edit: I'm just gonna go a head and make this the official-like Odama thread...)

After reading an Odama preview over at GameSpot.com (http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/puzzle/odama/news.html?sid=6139464&mode=previews), I noticed that there was absolutly no mention of the Bongos... so has it actually been confirmed that Bongo support for this title has been removed?

I missed that preview. Thanks for the link. As for the bongos, I remember a lot of E3 2004 previews mentioning it, but did anyone actually play the game with bongos? I believe it was claimed that it would 'rally the troops', possibly the enemy troops. Not a necessary feature at all. I guess with the release of the microphone they thought it would provide more control options, and it seems like they've integrated it pretty well.

And I'd like to take a brief paragraph to commend NOA for leaving the Japanese voices in and subbing instead. It's cheap and it does a better job of conveying the ancient Japanese theme than some receptionist could. 'Oww, burny!' Does the fire hurt? Have a rice ball. ;]

Yeah I'm pretty sure bongo support was removed before E3 2005. Instead, the mic element has been added, which I like a lot.

UncleBob · « **Reply #3 on:** December 02, 2005, 06:23:26 PM »

I was thinking, at one time, it used both the Mic and the Bongos... although perhaps I'm wrong (which is quite possible).

As a hardware whore, I was excited about it when it used both...

yes there were bongos at 2004, but they have been removed as since before e3 2005. i like it with the mic, even though you may feel weird barking out commands, its cool to see the troops actually act them out.

What happens if I never bought Mario Party 7 (I think that's the one with the mic)? Does it come with a mic? Can I get a headset, because I imagine it's tough to hold a controller and a mic at the same time.

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #6 on:** December 07, 2005, 01:33:20 PM »

Yeah, watch the E3 developer demonstration on Gamespot (I'm not sure if it's still up), the dude's holding both the right half of the controller and the mic in his right hand, it looks pretty uncomfortable.

"...[Nintendo have] made a special clip for the GC controller that's designed to snap on the top of it, to keep your GC mic close without having to juggle your controller."

From the preview listed above. Sounds functional enough.

TheYoungerPlumber · « **Reply #8 on:** December 07, 2005, 07:22:44 PM »

Yeah, the mic controller-clip looked like it worked OK up in Redmond back in November. I didn't get a chance to check the game out, I'm afraid.

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #10 on:** December 27, 2005, 05:24:50 PM »

Yeah...the box art is pretty orgasmic.

Yes.

I love answering my own questions.

UncleBob · « **Reply #12 on:** January 01, 2006, 07:45:55 AM »

It's coming....

(Nothing thrilling there... I'm just excited.)

UncleBob · « **Reply #13 on:** January 30, 2006, 11:59:16 AM »

Is there anyone who isn't excited to at least try Odama? Seriously, I want this game, like, yesterday.

I want to try it. but can I? NO CUZ I'M NOT PART OF THE ELITE INTERWEB MEDIA

Cap · « **Reply #15 on:** January 30, 2006, 02:52:21 PM »

odama is easily one of most eagarly anticipated gc titles for 2006. of course with the number of games that are going to be released for the gc in 2006......that probabaly doesnt say very much. it will be a reason to play my gamecube again though, which i probably havent done for 6-7 months....the ds has been keeping me busy.

TrueNerd · « **Reply #16 on:** January 31, 2006, 08:04:56 PM »

Yeah, I'm pretty psyched for this game. I love the "WTF?!" genre.

Nosferat2 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2006, 06:28:07 AM »

iM not excited about it. I dont know anything about it, aside from its sort of a war game and there is a pinball machine you use to help win the fights...I think ill pass. But ill check out the preview at gamespot just to see if it somehow someway interest me.

UncleBob · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2006, 07:00:31 AM »

What more do you need to know? War + Pinball + Microphone = The Best Game Ever - Bongos
Whoo!

Most importantly...it has hamburgers.

Must. Have. Review!

UncleBob · « **Reply #22 on:** March 07, 2006, 05:25:20 PM »

I thought it came out April 11th last thing I heard...

jasonditz · « **Reply #23 on:** March 08, 2006, 03:55:41 PM »

Finally, Robo Aleste will have a rival for silliest game set in the warring states period.
