Mimic the patterns to translate the alien’s speech get it wrong and you’ll get some silly results. The sequel game flips it by having the alien translate a farmer’s speech to his homeworld.
Slip and pose in rhythm with your sumo family. There are plenty of quality-of-life improvements that are geared towards new players but longtime fans will definitely find welcome. The bottom screen reacts whenever you press a button, indicating how close you are to the beat, with the middle of the screen exploding in stars if you get it perfectly. The tutorial even kindly displays the proper inputs if you screw it up enough times, which particularly helps in the tougher games like the tango one. A score meter at the end shows exactly where you are on the “failure/ok/superb” range – it’s even kind enough to let you go on even if you fail it very slightly. The one area where the game slightly stumbles is with its currency. At the end of eveery stage, you’re given coins based on your performance. These are used to buy little trinkets and extra stuff in the cafe shop, but certain challenges in the story mode require that you pay a certain amount to start them, and there’s no refunds if you lose. Similarly, the new challenge mode – where you have to play a set of games and need to reach certain score goals – also charge money. While it’s generally in abundance, it still feels unnecessarily grindy, since you can find yourself in situations where you may need to replay previously beaten games just to get more. Also, there are quite a number of extra unlockable minigames – all stuff from prior titles – that aren’t in the main story mode, but these are only opened by using “flow balls” obtained from the challenges. t’s nice that Nintendo really tried to give more value to the game beyond the main mode, but in practice it’s not really the best way to extend the play time. There is one cute addition though – a mode that replaces some of the characters with cameos from the WarioWare crew.Īlso, since this a compilation title, undoubtedly some favorite games will be missing. The most noticeable ones are Rap Men (from the GBA game), and Moai Doo-Wop, Love Lizards, and Love Lab (from the DS game). But what’s there is still pretty robust – it’s definitely much larger than any of the single releases. Rhythm Heaven Megamix was released at retail in Japan and Europe, but unfortunately was left a digital-only release in North America. While some of it may seem too familiar with fans, it’s still an excellent update, and overall it easily qualifies as the best in the series.In my opinion, I find Mamarin Palace, the final area of the game, to be the most unique.
