A Review: Simplicity + charm + rhythm = Rhythm Heaven Fever for Wii

At first I was surprised that Rhythm Heaven Fever didn’t include motion in its control scheme. The controls, in fact, are infinitely simple: the “A” and “B” buttons are essentially the summary of control for the entire game. Upon thinking about this, I decided it was for the game’s benefit. Rhythm is a precise art (trust me, I know). Motion control is not a prec...

Did you buy Rhythm Heaven for DS? Would you support a U.S. release of the Wii sequel?

Rhythm Heaven, one of the DS’s funniest and most original games, is getting a Wii follow-up in Japan. I’ve got my fingers crossed for a North American release. U.S. sales of Rhythm Heaven didn’t reach Brain-Age level heights, despite a cute marketing campaign featuring Beyonce. How many of you out there bought this terrific Music Game/Warioware hybrid?

Go buy Rhythm Heaven if you haven’t already

I’ve been playing Rhythm Heaven for a couple of weeks now, and I gotta say these game is a hoot. If you liked Elite Beat Agents, or are a rabid rhythm game fan, it will challenge your skill in new creative ways. If you’re not big on music games, you might not like it, but the puzzles are so clever, I suspect if you’re in the latter category, you still might dig it. Any readers ou...

Rhythm Heaven DS!?

Rhythm Tengoku Heaven is a simple and infectious rhythm game that anyone can play. If you can tap your finger in time to music, you’ll get the hang of Rhythm Heaven in no time! Players hold their Nintendo DS system sideways like a book and tap their stylus on the touch screen to the rhythm of the music. Players tap, slide or flick the stylus to hit the right beat. Rhythm Heaven features catc...

Promoting this month’s release of the Warioware team’s music title “Rhythm Heaven (Risumu Tengoku),” Nintendo has posted five web exclusive commercials for the game in addition to it’s eleven TV commercials which are also accessable on the site.

Review: Groove Heaven 3DS

Before its launch yesterday, I had the opportunity to demo Groove Heaven from Teyon.  You play as Rhymi, a a little demon girl, that has the task of delivering a love letter from the devil to a beautiful angel that he has become smitten for. Each level represents a floor of the tower.  On each floor, you must make your way to the exit, all while collecting items such as roses and music notes and a...

Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure Heads to 3DS in “early 2012”

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrkrZfiseSg[/youtube] Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure isn’t just a really long game title, it’s a really long game title for a game that happens to be for the 3DS. Sega looks to have a winner with Rhythm Thief, as it looks to have blended the best elements of Professor Layton and Rhythm Heaven. Here’s what Senior Vice Presid...

Minna no Rhythm Tengoku tops Japanese sales charts, Wii’s elsewhere jealous

Aside from the occasional Virtual Console or WiiWare title, I am sad to say that my Wii has received as much action this summer as the pimply kid on prom night. Thankfully there are  titles in the pipeline such as Skyward Sword and Rhythm Heaven to fight for my hard earned free time. Although no definitive release date has been confirmed for Rhythm Heaven stateside, the game has already released...

Nintendo Powers Top Ten Games

Nintendo Power may be over, but they have left their mark in the history of video games.  Over the years, many games have graced their pages.  So, it only seems fitting that Nintendo Power created a list of their top games of all time!  Obviously, by “all time”, they restricted it to games released on Nintendo consoles. After the jump below, is the full list of their top 285 Nintendo g...

What Time is it?! Adventure Time Video Game…Time!

Shmowzow! It looks like it’s pretty official now – there’s an Adventure Time video game coming to the 3DS and DS this Fall, as confirmed by the press release posted on the Frederator Studios blog. Creator of the wildly popular cartoon series, Pendleton Ward, announced the game less-than-officially on his Twitter account a couple months ago, but it’s nevertheless reassuring to finally see a proper ...

How I’d love to see Nintendo exploit iOS

Nintendo faithful, please don’t take offense at what I’m about to say. I’m not suggesting for one moment that Nintendo get out of the hardware business or port its most famous characters to iOS. I’m a card-carrying 3DS fanatic, and I’ll be first in line for Wii U. But I also own an iPhone, and, here’s what drives me crazy:  thinking about the bazillion casual ph...
