==Franchise Description== | |||
The initial project started as a Game Boy Color title tentatively named ''Game Boy Music''. While it lacked many of the features of the final product, it did contain a large song list, multiple instruments, and an early version of [[Barbara|Barbara Bat]]. This version of the game was scrapped due to hardware limitations and a lack of confidence for a new IP late in the system's life. Development shifted to Game Boy Advance and the game was formally unveiled at the 2001 {{s|wikipedia|Tokay Game Show}}. Development shifted again, this time to the [[Nintendo DS]] where game, now titled ''Daigasso! Band Brothers'', released in 2004 as a launch title for the system. The songs in the game range from classical music, video game music and television themes. Players may compose their own songs and a multiplayer version is included where each player plays a different instrument. The game was tentatively intended for release in English as ''Jam with the Band'', but this was abandoned. An expansion pack titled ''Daigasso! Band Brothers Tsuika Kyoku Cartridge'' was released in 2005 which contained new songs chosen by fans through a poll. It was a GBA cartridge that connected with the base game when both are inserted in the same system. | |||
A proper sequel (known as ''Daigasso! Band Brothers DX'' in Japan) released again on DS in 2008. This was the only game in the series with a proper English release, under the title ''Jam with the Band''. The series has never been released in North America, only in Europe in 2010. While the game was mostly the same as its predecessor, it included many new songs and an exclusive [[Wii]] channel called ''Live Channel'', allows the songs to be played through the big screen. New songs were also released as downloadable content through the Nintendo Wi-fi Connection. | |||
Another sequel titled ''Daigasso! Band Brothers P'' released on [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2013. Along with all the features of previous installments, the game introuces a {{s|wikipedia|Vocaloid}} performer that can be programmed to sing along with the music. DLC songs and features were released online until the servers were shut down on May 1, 2020.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/anej/]</ref> | |||
