![]() After completing a set of games, the player is challenged to a Remix game that includes each game of the set. ![]() Doing so nets a Perfect rating, which unlocks bonus information on the mini-game or adds another song to the sound test. Sometimes the game challenges the player to complete a mini-game flawlessly. A Superb rating awards the player with a medal collecting these allows bonus features such as endless mini-games to be unlocked. If a player gets a Try Again rating, they can't progress to the next mini-game until they can get one of the higher ratings. Upon completion of each mini-game, the player's performance is evaluated and given a ranking: Try Again, OK, or Superb. The game is divided into sets of four or five music-based mini-games, which are completed by pressing buttons (or flicking and tapping the touch screen) in time with the rhythm. Despite this, the DS sequel (known as Rhythm Tengoku Gold in Japanese) would receive an overseas release to a positive reception, with two more sequels following. Naturally this meant that it would be released only in Japan, not unlike the case with Mother 3. The first game in the series was released on the GBA in late 2006, making it the last game that Nintendo developed for the system, and later in arcades as a joint project between Nintendo and SEGA. Since then, the number of titles Nintendo develops has drastically decreased, which means we see less eclectic titles like Rhythm Heaven.Rhythm Heaven, known in Japanese as Rhythm Tengoku and as Rhythm Paradise in European languages, can best be described as WarioWare meets Elite Beat Agents. Unfortunately, the development team behind Rhythm Heaven, Nintendo SPD Group 1, was merged into Nintendo EPD in 2015. Since then, besides a Wii U re-release of Rhythm Heaven Fever in 2016, the series has been dormant. Finally, in 2015, Rhythm Heaven Megamix, which combines select minigames from the previous three titles, was released on Nintendo 3DS. Rhythm Heaven was followed by Rhythm Heaven Fever on the Wii three years later, which also wowed fans. It wasn’t until Rhythm Heaven released worldwide on the Nintendo DS in 2008-9 that it attained its cult status. However, that game was only released in Japan. In fact, Rhythm Tengoku, the first title in the franchise, was the final Nintendo-developed game to be released on the GBA. The Rhythm Heaven series got its start on the Game Boy Advance. ![]() So, will it ever come to the Switch? Will Rhythm Heaven release on Switch? The console would make the perfect partner for the quick, easy-to-pick-up gameplay the franchise is known for. Given that Nintendo developed and published the handheld versions of the series, it seems odd that we haven’t gotten a Rhythm Heaven Switch game. The cult classic Rhythm Heaven series seems like a perfect fit for the Nintendo Switch.
