Infect Yourself With Rhythm Heaven Fever

This makes me want a Wii.

Game of the Year 2012.

I could be on board with this...

That's the best kind of fever.

Okay, I have to know why they changed the voices of the see-saw guys. As far as I can tell, they're just making noises.

You mean "changed them from the Japanese version", I assume?

Nintendo has that localization department, so they might as well use them. Even if it's gibberish noises, the syllables used are likely to still have a Japanese sound to them. Like how this song is gibberish, but it's full of common syllables in American English:

If you meant "changed the voices from the North American DS version", then I have no answer for you.

Yeah, I meant from the Japanese version. I see your point, but they didn't change the monkey voices! The monkeys, man! I just find it strange is all.

I am reminded that I never picked up the DS game. I will have to rectify that omission at some point.

Can someone please point out, for me, the "mild cartoon violence" in this trailer? Did I miss something, or do monkeys high-fiving each other count as violence these days?

That descriptor is for the game as a whole, not the trailer.

I wish this game would have come out a lot earlier instead of taking as long to localize as it did. I love rhythm heaven and I want to dust off my Wii to play it but I just don't know if I can...

I loved this commercial, but I wonder what the eventual input methods will be. Is it a button-focused game or a bunch of gestures? If it's the latter, I'm unfortunately not interested.

EDIT: It's button inputs! YAAAAAAAAAAY!

This is why our grandchildren will look back on us and see us as primitive idiots.

Yeah, they'll wonder why we played military FPSs and MMOs when we could have been getting started on the Rhythm Heaven Revolution of 2015 (after which all games were Rhythm Heaven-based).

This might be the Wii's last hurrah. An excellent way to go. PRESS A TO HURRAH TO THE RHYTHM.

Monkeys on a clock high-fiving? DAMN YOU, JAPAAAAAAANNNNNN!

I imported a copy of this as a Christmas present to my brothers and yeah it's seriously fucking incredible. It's going to be somewhere between 5th and 1st place on Jeff's Top 10 this year, no doubt.

The Monkey Clock rhythm game made me rage so hard. Never again!

I'm still up for some more Wrestler Interview, though...

AHAHAHAHAHAHA "WHAT!??!"

@Enebreus: I have a CRT TV and it runs perfectly but my friends' HDTV in Game Mode works fine too. I wouldn't worry. The Wii isn't HDMI which is usually the issue for laggy gameplay.

I only reason I wish I still had a Wii

Oh man I just love the fluid animation! It's certainly a step up from the animation quality in Rhythm Heaven for the DS.

As soon as the mild cartoon violence warning came up I immediately thought that guy was going to club those seals... rhythmically.

Does that make me a bad person?

Yes. Yes! I can feel it!

DUDE I'M GONNA RIDE AROUND THIS CLOCK AND HIGH FIVE EVERYONE OF THESE MONKEYS!

Rhythm Tengoku for the GBA is one of my favorite games of all time. It's been in my Micro for the past 3 years and I still play it every few months. Didn't get around to playing Rhythm Heaven for the DS but I'm getting this one day one, looks rad as hell.

Go get the fucking DS game. Are you insane!? It's like $10!

My 2011 GOTY!

Please for the love of god tell me that that is an actual game I can purchase somewhere

Wii purchase justified!

First time seeing this game in 60fps. Looks great.

Best series ever! Cannot wait.

I AM TRIPPING BALLS

I can't help but wonder how they're going to deal with visual/sound lag.

Yes. YES.

sounds like a slow week

I give it five flipper rolls out of five.

"Coaching an arctic seal dance troupe and golfing with mandrills"

SOLD! (That's a lie, I was already going to get the game anyway.)

I wish this came out a few years earlier, I don't really feel like playing this on Wii. I'll look forward to the inevitable 3DS version though, these games work well on handhelds.

QL Naow

Oh man that Monkey slaping mini-game looks awesome , but seriously why put this on the Wii?! like why! wouldn't make more sense to put this on the 3DS.

Played the japanese version at Magfest last weekend. It was amazing.

buying a wii just for this game.

I'll encourage my kids to play this because catching rhythm heaven fever as an adult can lead to more serious problems.

yep, feeling a little feverish

OH yes I need all of the Rhythm!
