It's back and probably weirder than ever.

After a decade out of the spotlight, Rhythm Heaven is coming back on Switch.

Rhythm Heaven Groove (known as "Rhythm Paradise Groove" in Europe), the first wholly original title in the series since 2011/12's Rhythm Heaven Fever (with the 2016 3DS game Rhythm Heaven Megamix focusing on previous titles but having some original content) was shown today and will launch on Switch next year.

Longtime series composer Tsunku will return for the game as well.

2026! Wow! Between this and Tomodachi Life, both are honest-to-god Nintendo first-party franchises (though honestly B or C tier franchises) that are hitting the Switch 1 even a year after the Switch 2 takes over top billing!

It definitely looks like Nintendo is willing to keep the Switch 1 game library supported for a little longer instead of suddenly pulling the plug on it.

This is a great fit, especially for playing handheld. I found the lag on the Wii game to be an issue so I am really looking forward to the 100% completing this game.
