Rocksmith 2014 is the GOAT. Not only is it a great rhythm game but it teaches you how to play guitar.
Ew, please no. Every game Ward has worked on has a terrible aesthetic and pretty bad music. I couldn't keep playing ITG or ITG2 because of their soundtracks. Let's not forget the hilarious spinning rim on his last game.Kyle Ward has a new 5 panel dance game coming out. Hopefully it ends up seeing the same popularity In The Groove saw.
That's an oxymoron. There's nothing better than hand-designed charts.
Play Superbeat Xonic instead. Less expensive and with better touch controls.
I meant something that generates based on the music you put in, like Audiosurf or Crypt of the NecroDancer. But on a handheld system.That's an oxymoron. There's nothing better than hand-designed charts.
I don't care either way. As long as they're still popular in Japan, Konami (and others) will keep pumping them out and making console/tablet ports. Which is A-OK with me.
Dance Dance Revolution was the first star of the genre

Rhythm games are healthier right now than they were two years ago. DDR Ace is out at a bunch of Dave and Busters locations right now and round1 is opening up more locations. Miku is insanely popular and those games are localised.
I hope that Konami makes a IIDX for modern consoles again. I would buy so much DLC.

i have great news for everyone hoping for a new inis music game. just announced yesterday!
you're welcome
Rhythm Thief. Just making sure that gets mentioned in here. Pretty neat game, sucks it'll never get a sequel.

if anything you should be fearful of the arcade rhythm game singularity, in which all rhythm games consist of nothing but vocaloid, touhou, iosys, or some combination of the three
it's approaching, beware
Joking? Konami has released several Bemani games in 2015 and 2016.
Yeah well where are they in the west?
I use to play DDR 3rd Remix on my PS1 for hours on end. Now there's just nothing for console.

They are in arcades, not on consoles. And they are in some arcades in the west.
Miku will never die.
Still my favorite, hoping we get a sequel one day
Just popping in to say if you like rhythm games and have a smart device, you should give Voez a shot. It's easily one of my favorite rhythm games ever, with a system that feels like it could only be on mobile, and the rotating unlocks/keys system feels pleasingly arcadey. They even add new songs regularly.
I used to live on a DDR pad, but the more physical games are beyond me now. I'm inexpressibly pleased to find the genre is thriving, innovative (and free!) on mobile.
Wow, this thread got more attention than that thread I made actually talking about DDR A's US release.
I don't think rhythm games are exactly a healthy market but it's not a market in danger of dying tomorrow either. I do think more effort needs to be put in to make rhythm games that work for home consoles (though I think Konami's iOS offerings are excellent, despite being often overlooked). But if peripheral gaming is your jam, I don't see that making the jump from arcade to home console again. Not after Rock Band 4's somewhat underwhelming launch, anyway.

We did!
Real talk, any EBA fan who hasn't played the Ouendan games is seriously missing out. EBA is merely the second entry in a trilogy; it just so happens the other two games were Japan-only. The DS is region-free, the games require zero understanding of Japanese, and they're not terribly expensive these days. No reason not to try 'em out.
EDIT: With that said, I would absolutely kill for Ouendan 3 or EBA 2.
Didn't the first Ouendan game also have different music?
So it's like getting two new games!
Gest Ouendan. EBA is the worst entry in the trilogy. Best rhythm game engine ever. Soundtrack is 95% shit, though. Same for Ouendan 1 & 2. Realistically, if this engine could be adapted to incorporate custom soundtracks, I would never stop playing this game, ever.
well I play Project Diva and want to get into Rhythm Heaven more, but not really into the plastic controllers anymore
Handheld stuff I do like
