Elite Beat Agents (2006)

A DS stylus becomes a tiny conductor's baton as you tap numbered circles, trace moving paths and spin a disc on the touch screen. Tracing makes the shape of a phrase part of the performance, while the comic scenes above turn a pop song into a rescue mission. A working touch-screen DS-family setup, stylus and game card are the practical starting point. This is more precise hand-and-eye work than a casual tapper; use the training mode before tackling denser charts. It is the original DS game, not a phone adaptation.
