osu!, an indie game inspired by Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, was released for personal computers in the same year the sequel was released. The main characters of Ouendan would also make minor appearances in Nintendo's crossover fighting series Super Smash Bros., appearing as stickers and trophies in Brawl and spirits in Ultimate.
As in the original game, this sequel is played almost entirely via touch screen (the only actual button used is the Start button for pausing the game). The player acts as the Ouendan, who cheer on the people that are in turmoil and shout out for them (the original "Black" Ouendan control the west side of that world, Yūhi Town, and the new "Blue" Ouendan control the east side, Asahi Town.)
