Here are some interesting comparison images meant to show the influence of the man, Yamakan, who supervised the creation of the now iconic Haruhi ED, amongst others, and the manner in which he developed his work.

The much anticipated Haruhi Wii dance game, Haruhi no Gekidou, has had its release put back from November to January 22nd, a delay sure to disappoint many, especially in conjunction with the earlier confusing news that the dance portion was “cancelled“. The news comes by way of the official site.
Clearly development has not been without its hurdles; at least there is still the 3D adventure game due for the Wii as well.

The girls of Rozen Maiden appear in this interesting MAD, currently doing rather well on Nico. Amusingly incongruous choice of music.

According to the official announcement by way of this poster, the much anticpated Haruhi dance game, Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekidou, due late November and which we saw much of earlier, is to have its dance portion cancelled in favour of some intriguing minigames.

Hatsune Miku juggles an interesting variety of objects in a most skilful manner in this fine MAD, starting with leeks. It is strangely charming, and has some nice touches.

Although we saw a similar version of this video earlier, with it featuring Hatsune Miku crushing a Morning Musume in a dance battle, a new version featuring such substantial improvements that it is taken to a new level comes to us.

We’ve seen some rather accomplished MikuMiku Dance MADs, but never one executed with such realism and charm as this, I think. Hatsune Miku dances rather more enticingly than the mere human whose moves she emulates; song is Bararaika, and the idol dancing is a Morning Musume.

The release date of the recently announced and much anticpated Haruhi Wii dance game (in fact, the title is 涼宮ハルヒの激動, Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekidou – “The Excitement of Suzumiya Haruhi”) has been announced as the 27th of November, according to Famitsu. Some new screens are also visible in the scan below.

Famitsu has published plenty of screens for the upcoming Haruhi Wii dance game, but the article is almost completely devoid of new information regarding the game, save a few details on how the dance system works (it’s a standard timing based system); the screens basically give all the information you need, however. It does now seem certain that only Haruhi, Nagato and Mikuru will feature in any prominence.

It is confirmed – the latest Haruhi game for the Wii will be a dancing game, involving timing Haruhi and company’s dancing with the Wiimote. Some details from the scans here and here: there will be a story mode advanced by skilful dancing, a free mode in which you can freely choose costumes, music and stage, and the dancing will be accomplished with three characters, so Kyon is unlikely to feature with Haruhi, Nagato and Mikuru on hand. Apparently, there will also be a version packaged with a figure.
I’m not sure what to make of this – the Haruhi dancing is charming, and undeniably popular if we are to find a rational explanation for the sales of figma Kyon, but whether this can sustain an entire game is another question. However, compared to the usual spin-off adventure games, this may be a fresh approach. Source here.
