Topic: Rhythm Heaven 3DS (the most important announcement of 14.01.2015 Direct)

[azeke]

100 games in total, 30 new ones, the rest is from previous installments. Getting mini-games from GBA installment worth buying the game alone for me.

Japanese Direct excerpt:

AW YEAH

Shibata, your move.

[Soren]

I am very intrigued with this game.

I am very intrigued with this game.

There is nothing to be intrigued about.

It's Rhythm Heaven, it's Nintendo SPD, it's gonna be amazing.

Literally 70% of the content is a known quantity with games remade from GBA, DS and Wii iterations.

Fixed.

I will gladly take a rehash of GBA game considering there is literally no other legal way to play it.

Pu-pu-pu-punch!

Trailer from April's direct:

I see old GBA, DS and Wii mini-games redone with new locations and new music and coop mode.

So excited, can't wait to experience this again:

I'm hoping it and the new Style Savvy are announced at E3 for NA releases. I'll take something low-key like the Fossil Fighter's announcement last year.


Hell, I'll take the announcement written on discarded paper dropped from hot air balloons.

It's fascinating that we haven't gotten a Rhythm Heaven or Wario Ware game on this system until now.

A crossover would actually be awesome, Wario Rhythm Ware Inc.

For "Nintendo 3DS" and "Wii U," in addition to maintaining the performance of already-released titles with strong sales potential, new titles will continue to be introduced in order to further expand the installed bases. Specifically, by sequentially introducing additional download content for blockbuster titles such as "Mario Kart 8" and "Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U," we aim to keep these titles played more actively. For "Nintendo 3DS," the exclusive "New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL" title "Xenoblade Chronicles 3D," and other first party titles such as "Rhythm Tengoku (temp.)" and "New Fire Emblem Game (temp.)" will be released.

Seems like it's coming to the west.

FE If western release was announced for next year and localized RH might also be for 2016. Still better than year-two year long waits between localizations of Wii version.

Japanese commercials featuring co-op modes. Only the first 30 seconds has game footage, the rest is some celebrities discussing it i guess:

The game is out in Japan:

While most of the mini-games are returning from previous games, the music in them is completely new.

What's worrying is how short they are, hopefully they get longer further in the game

[TOPHATANT123]

So none of the music is being reused? That's quite impressive if so.
