What is Rhythm Heaven Fever?
The third game in the crazy rhythm game series comes to home consoles for the first time! Just as the boxart above states, there are over 50 minigames

Spoiler

including some extra ones coming from the original GBA game

. Many people often compare the minigames to the ones from WarioWare's microgames, but with more focus on music and rhythm. Don't be fooled though, despite the cutesy and upbeat look, the game can get rather difficult!

The game's controls are rather simple, you only need to use the A and B buttons. No waggling necessary! For the first time in the series, there's a two player mode! So now, we can finally get rhythmy with a partner.

This is my first OT, so it might be a tad lackluster (and it was a bit last minute), let me know if I missed anything!

 

[Wario64]

Totally forgot this is coming next week. Gonna be so good

 

[Hours Left]

I'm totally amped for this game.

 

[GooeyHeat]

WHOA, YOU GO BIG GUY!
(can't wait)

 

[Boney]

GOTY folks

 

[woxel1]

Tomorrow night in L.A. there's going to be a hands-on Rhythm Heaven Fever event at the iam8bit gallery downtown from 6 to 10 PM. More info here.
Any other Gaffers thinking of going?

 

[Volcynika]

Don't think I can get it at launch, but looks like a present idea for my birthday. The minigames I've seen look great.

 

[L00P]

Finally, an OT for the game! Next week's gonna be awesome

 

[AbsoluteZero]

Lovin' this MSRP.

 

[Rarutos]

Lovin' this MSRP.

Indeed, I personally would have paid the full 50 for it, but it's nice to be saving some money!

 

[Busaiku]

AGH I FORGOT TO INTEND TO BUY

 

[FreeMufasa]

TBA in Europe? fuck off.

 

[Volcynika]

Wait, anyone know if Walmart might carry this? Have a $25 gift card I've not used yet, could use it to make this a day one pickup.

 

[dallow_bg]

So mine!

 

[Brazil]

Double-dipping for some Germanic-language rhythm goodness.

 

[Feel the Swift]

Love the DS one, but I can't see myself playing the same thing over.

 

[clemenx]

I suppose I'll be getting this. Day 1!

 

[Rarutos]

According to the online store they will. Not sure about retail.

 

[superpickleman]

Love LOVE LOVED the DS Rhythm Heaven! This is a must buy for me!

 

[NintendoGal]

How to play part 3 is up with JC Rodrigo if the OP wants to add that up there.

[Gianni Merryman]

Rhythm Heaven is one of my favourite DS games, along with Elite Beat Agents so, if this one is at least half addicting as that, that's a must-buy as far as I'm concerned.

 

[The Technomancer]

Shit, next week? I can't afford it until this summer T_T

Added, thanks!

 

[Kacho]

Wow, I was under the impression that this was a $50 game. Picking this up day one for sure.

 

[jasonng]

Excited! I cannot wait!

 

[Veal]

This is going to be so good!

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Can you make the banner link to Ringside

I mean you already have the wrestler and everything

 

[GK86]

Never played a rhythm heaven game, but I might pick it up at $30. Looks like fun.

 

[Rarutos]

I would, but I don't really want to link a video to the whole minigame in the OT, I'd rather have people play the game to see it.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I suppose...


I'll buy it!

 

[JazzmanZ]

Funny I was going to make an OT with the exact same subtitle.

Can't wait for the game, and I am going to particularly enjoy Ringside and Flipper rolls

 

[Mista Koo]

You missed this.

 

[Endesu]

Mildly interested, will probably just play OP's copy.

 

[linko9]

Can't wait for this. Haven't played a good rhythm game since the DS rhythm heaven.

 

[entremet]

Nintendo 1st party has been on fire with the Wii.

 

[Mitama]

You missed this.

Hahaha, wow. This is amazing!

 

[Noxie]

Never played a Rhythm Heaven game before, but this game looks like a lot of fun, and the songs are catchy! Like they'd be evil and get stuck in your head when you least expect it. Nintendo seems to have done a good job on the English version too.

Really would like to try this!

 

[Universaldamps]

tempting to import this and mod my Wii, since it's probably going to take a couple of months at least to hit Australian shores :-(

 

[Chunky]

I suppose...

IIIII suppose, yeah!

I'll buy it!

Sorry, force of habit...

Can't imagine this being any less than brilliant!!

 

[BassForever]

You missed this.

I was on the floor laughing and my room mate and his gf walked in which only made me laugh harder. Totally worth it!

Also have this pre-ordered day 1 for me! Need more Rhythm Heaven!

 

[rpmurphy]

It sucks having this come out just exactly the week when I'm moving.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Hahaha, wow. This is amazing!

The best comment got knocked off the front page.

To be fair, they did answer the question.

You owe it to yourself to get the DS one, it's like $5-10 at most places.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Can not wait for the English versions of various Japanese songs, especially Remix 3. From what we've heard of it, it's actually really good.

I'm very happy that this dub is not disappointing like the DS game's dub was, IMO.

 

[Sagitario]

Getting this by the end of the month

 

[Tookay]

You missed this.

This is what sold me on this game.

 

[Mitama]

The best comment got knocked off the front page.

This has to be a blast in multiplayer.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Does anyone know if there will be full versions of the English songs?

Similar to the full versions of the Japanese songs.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Fuck Xenoblade. The important games still hit the US before Europe

 

[The Hermit]

Terry Crew approves!
