Since I see no conversation regarding it, let me be first the one here to post this:

Rhythm Heaven Wii is out in Japan and is slated for release in the US sometime fall. Already people who have played the game says it harkens back to the GBA oroginal and may indeed be the best version to date with the best music.

I like the intro to Remix 2, where the camera zooms in to the clock tower.

Do you have the game?

I think this will become my new favorite minigame (aside from Badminton Cat):

Some spoiler-tastic stuff about the game:

Rhythm Calligraphy from the first game is playable. From the soundtrack files, it seems the same applies for the Clapping Trio, White Ghost, and Tap Dance. Note that I did not see any of these in the Final Exam Remix, so they're probably in a separate area.

What I did see in that remix, though, is part of the credits minigame, which should be familiar to those familiar with a certain night-walking game...

This is what happens when you combine Poly Rhythm with Built to Scale.

New Karate Man is epic. There's a "Karate Man 2" as well but I can't find any videos of it. Also, a 2-player version.

7 remixes worth of regular minigames, and then some harder versions plus the credits minigame, it seems, in the last three sets.]]

And while this is a general thread, I must say that DS Remix 6 is giving me fits for getting a Superb. I know where the Space Soccer to Lockstep transitions are, but I can't get the game to reliably register that first Lockstep step in each transition...

I also can't seem to keep a good rhythm on Space Soccer 2, despite managing the Superb in the first game...

[up]It's cute seeing the interviewer's reaction if you get it wrong...

In fact its like everything in this game is meant to make you go DAAWWWWW and snap your fingers/tap your shoes at the same time. Monkey Clock both looks "fun" and "HNNNNGGGG~".

Monkey Clock doesn't look too bad, really. It's Tuning Fork Rocket, Plankton, and Dancing Shrimp that look rather hard...to me.

Also...thinking about it, Minna no Rhythm Tengoku has not 4, but 6 games from the GBA versions. Karate Man and Night Walk are in it as well, albeit with added stuff.

Also, that stage probably revealed that the Play-Yan interface kid, the kid from Night Walk, and probably one of the kids in Glee Club are the same person. And he's got a little clique as well!

And here's the Final Exam Remix of the game:

It's noticeably faster than the DS Remix 10, which was already fairly fast, there are more games to cycle through, those games are a bit more apt to use their trickier elements, and there are some surprises. Also, dat ending.

This game in general appears to be harder than the older games in the series. not bad for me, but I wonder how the general populace will handle it.

Alright, who ordered the diabetes?

@Remix 10: ...They...put...the Rhythm Test...in the Remix 10.

...Why don't they just go the extra mile and put the Endless Games in it, too, huh?

Also, in case, here's the stage titles. Who here is good in translating from Japanese to English?

That actually surprised me as well. That, and the Troll Ending. Seriously, they pull the same stunt back in Rhythm Tengoku arcade.

      • (Assembly in Japanese but the JP title here is the same name as Built to Scale's JP title in Rhythm Heaven DS so I went with that. Nintendo will probably think of a more fitting title, or just go with assembly, when localization time comes since Built to Scale isn't a fitting title anymore considering the scale isn't even used in this minigame.)

Evil Spirit Extermination

Wait, youkai extermination?

Bring on the Touhou crossove... oh wait,that's nothing new.

Also, speaking of endless games, here's one of them. Familiar face(s), but not quite as... hungry.

I barely understood a word those two birds said, and yet I found it hilarious.

Especially since the tsukkomi is the small bird, and the boke is the larger bird.
