Awesome! The GBA version was excellent. The DS version was good, but not as good. Just as was the case with Warioware... If this mostly uses the A and B buttons, it sounds like it might be pretty great!

The DS game already confirmed to me that I have no fucking rhythm. I was so unbelievably terrible at that game.

I'm not sure motion controls will give you the split second precision you need for Rhythm Heaven most of the time.

But I like Rhythm Heaven on DS, and the art here looks amazing, especially in that golf game. Dude looks like Tintin.

I think Ryan said that it was alot of pressing A.

I'm just happy to see that the game is sticking to it's roots of requiring extremely precise timing rather than loosening everything up just to incorporate motion controls. With this being button based, I'm sure it'll play very similar to the original Rhythm Tengoku, which is a great thing. However, I wouldn't be surprised if we actually did see some motion stuff in the unlockable "toys" that both of the previous iterations in this series featured.

They were dismissive about a lot of games, some of them they didn't even consider either because they didn't remember they existed or out of fatigue.

I really can't wait for the new Rhythm Heaven game. Loved the one on the DS and could not stop playing that game after I had picked it up.

From the little they talked about this game on the bombcast last night, it sounds like the game might just use the A and B button on the wiimote.

FUCK YEEEEES. Rhythm Heaven might be my favorite DS game of all time. I feel guilty for never beating the GBA version I imported, though.

Yes yes YES.

The GBA original is still the best, but this looks great.
 
 
Also I think this might be its own game, not a port of Rhythm Heaven DS, so this shouldn't be marked as such.

I really loved Rhythm Heaven, so much so that I actually tracked down a copy of the Japan-only GBA predecessor on eBay, but I'm not sure if I'd be as in to playing it on the Wii. I'm definitely willing to give it a shot though.

Scratch-o. Hey!
