Rather than gazing at the Land of the Rising Sun, a few hours ago a monitor is all it takes to take a look at the Bandai Namco livestream presence for the ongoing Anime Expo convention. Base-game details that were already covered aside, what we got out of this is a confirmation on which of the available songs in the starting song list are going to have the infamous Ura Oni treatment since the very beginning.
I wager that no introductions are needed for the following beneficiary...
Debuting for the first Switch game as a piece of DLC, MEGALOVANIA has been selected to play and unveiled to have a top-starred Ura Oni to reach greater heights!
In addition to that, the entire launch track list was browsed via menu navigation, unveiling another quintet of songs as newly-fangled Ura Oni bearers for home players thanks to the Ura Oni icon tell that is displayed as part of the respective High-Score plates that appear at the bottom-right corner of the Song Selection menu. We don't know the ratings for these, but at least we know they have them! Below is a screen confirming the Vocaloid newcomer villain to have an Ura Oni setting:
The other five songs are the following, complete with links to the affected screenshots:
- Gurenge (console debut, already in AC/Pop Tap Beat)
- Funiculì Funiculà
- La Campanella
- ESCAPE FROM CRISIS
