It wasn't very fun when you would get Mega-Mushroomed and your opponent would become invincible, that's for sure haha

Yes, it should at least not give invincibility if both complete the tasks

[SuperSah]

Cracked out Rhythm Heaven on DS.

Game is so fun. :-D

 

[OricWindstar]

So, Rhythm Heaven Fever is $12 on Amazon right now for anyone looking to get it. Should I go for it?

The answer to the question "Should I buy Rhythm Heaven Fever for $X?" is always yes, when X is a real number.

Haha, fair enough. Is the Wii version as good as/better than the GBA one?

what if it's literally X ?

It's as good but maybe not better. And maybe some of the games are a little worse but some are a little better.

10 bucks is a steal.

 

[SuperSah]

DS game rocks btw.

Cross dollars.

It's an X.

Also the end credits for fever, featuring marshall.

Cool. I'll probably end up ordering it.

aw holy shit i just realized

rhythm heaven newcomer = ko takeuchi art featuring smash bros characters
yessssssssssss

edit: also ds>wii>gba because wii and gba are too easy and touchscreens are perfect for rhythm games

 

[BGBW]

Well I did say that in the text of my post...



Wii > GBA (the negative being that it's only in Japanese) > DS

Basically button controls > swiping controls.

 

[Berordn]

...I don't really understand what this means. Haha, sorry! What do you mean buff mechanic?

For several Pokemon (Victini and Xerneas) and at least one stage (Find Mii) there's a mechanic where they apply a buff to your character to, presumably, make them stronger or give them other benefits.

If WarioWare's coming back, they could apply those to a character instead of something silly like a Starman on one guy and a Super Mushroom on another.

 

[georly]

Well I did say that in the text of my post...

And I was just showing off a picture!

It'd be cool if it looked like the GBA one on 3DS but looked like the Wii one on Wii U

(I just hope it's not a scrolling stage)

I would say that too, but they're all pretty close. GBA probably has some of the catchiest tunes of all though (Bon Odori), and Wii's definitely got some highlights. I like the dirtier pixily look of those kinda of games though, so I prefer DS visually the most.

Plus the menu music is so good! I hope we get that for the Chorus Men trailer.

 

[Kriken]

Final Fantasy Cross/Cross-2 HD was an okay collection

 

[afoni]

I bought Minna no Rhythm Tengoku back in April for a very very low price. Tap Star music best be in the game if Chorus Men somehow make it in.

Ah, I see. Yeah, that would work well. Despite it looking like an annoying stage, Golden Plains' no flinch mechanic is really cool. Would work well in a Warioware type stage.

Oh yes that would be amazing.
Now I'm imagining Link and DK in Warioware or Rhythm Heaven artstyle lol

Wii > GBA (the negative being that it's only in Japanese) > DS

That's how I'd rank it as well.

 

[jph139]

Well it is very platformy which would make it ideal and it has a clear area to fall down (in fact a rare stage where you can lose in the middle of the game by falling) and has the benefit of being referenced in other titles like Beat the Beat and the 3DS music player.

I think Night Walk is probably the most obvious stage choice. It's high up and made of platforms, it's pretty iconic, and it's workable as either a moving stage (where you follow along with the Night Walker) or a static one (where you fight on a few staggered platforms that occasionally have the Night Walker/Marshall/whoever hop by).

Hopefully we can get more than one, though; there's so many different locations in Rhythm Heaven that would make for cool stages. Ideally I'd like one gimmicky one (where you have to do X or Y to the beat) and one more straightforward...

Oh yeah, I mean, I love all 3 of the games. They all have great stuff to them, and they all have their flaws. GBA does have tons of catchy songs, but getting all perfect hardly poses a challenge. DS has a really good difficulty and touch controls (a plus in my eyes though I know many disagree, heh), but suffers from some occasionally shoddy dubbing and Moai Doo-Wop. And Wii has great vocal tracks with a much better dub and really clean art (I kinda prefer the really smooth, thick line direction it's taken myself), but... um... to be honest, Wii doesn't really have any immediate major issues, I just don't think it's quite as good as DS.

I remember getting Rhythm Heaven Fever Wii for like $5. And Sin and Punishment Star Successor for $10. Good times, good times.

 

[SuperSah]

Karate Man for Smash or as Lil Mac alt. sans kicking.

 

[BGBW]

I'm kind of tempted to buy a Japanese version of the DS one just for the Japanese soundtrack. So nice Beat the Beat include both languages (shame about the massive delay).

Well I'll just make do with listening to it.

I found Sin and Punishment at Gamestop for $12. Probably my best bargain bin find.

Rhythm heaven also had 'medley' songs as checkpoints, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's a transforming stage featuring a 'best of' from the series.

 

[BGBW]

Karate Man for Smash or as Lil Mac alt. sans kicking.

That would be awful.

 

[Anth0ny]

I got Sin and Punishment 2 brand new for $2.99 at EB Games a few years back

I don't know what to believe any more.

I guess I generally don't like touch controls... but it worked fine for stuff like EBA. *shrug*

 

[OricWindstar]

That's crazy! Were they just trying to get rid of stock?

 

[Spinosaurus]

The DS controls were fine, if you ask me. It's the minigames has which I felt are the weakest in the series. It's still a great game anyway.
I don't think it's as good as EBA/Ouendan when it comes to touch screen controls though.

Karate Man for Smash or as Lil Mac alt. sans kicking.

This doesn't make any sense.

 

[BGBW]

Seeing copies of EBA going for £5 always brought a tear to my eye.

 

[The Bankslammer]

i got rhythm heaven fever and sin & punishment 2 for full price at launch because i'm a decent human being

whole lot of good that did

This industry doesn't like decent human beings.

 

[Spinosaurus]

I bought both Rhythm Heaven Fever and Beat The Beat: Rhythm Paradise at full price since I had both an NTSC and PAL Wii

Spoiler

and I also wanted to experience the game in Japanese because I liked it that much

Bought EBA and Ouendan used tho ;-;

 

[georly]

I bought sin and punishment 2 on clearance at target for under 20, then returned it to wal-mart for 50 dollars store credit.

 

[BassForever]

I bought Rhythm Heaven twice because someone stole my copy

Also bought RH fever day 1

That's if Chorus is starter character but I'm not sure if newcomer as secret character would get the poster.

So it's YOUR fault!

Its called tactics!

 

[The Bankslammer]

Yeah, not getting art to go along with it would bum me out.
... though honestly, I'd still just be so happy that they're in the game at all that it wouldn't matter that much.

(also tbh i'm totally cool with rad games like RH, EBA and S&P2 going for bomba prices because it makes them easier impulse buys for some people who might not get them otherwise. I got my money's worth buying them at full price, at least!)

 

[Anth0ny]

That's crazy! Were they just trying to get rid of stock?

I guess so. I think they were selling Other M for $5, too lol.

 

[SuperSah]

This doesn't make any sense.

This is a game that has a random Rayman trophy for absolutely zero reason thus far.

Smash makes no sense.

 

[OricWindstar]

Its called tactics!

Now that's strategy!

 

[Tripon]

Well, this would be one way to force competitive players to play with items on. (Obviously a fake leak, but I thought it was an interesting way to unlock characters.)
