But here it feels ever so slightly draining at times, because it’s just the same minigame from years gone by with better quality visuals. Now look, that may be a harsh criticism, because that’s a music game, really, isn’t it? Whether it’s Guitar Hero, Rhythm Paradise Megamix, or Amplitude, you’re doing the same thing over and over, only to a different song. There’s little variation in how you actually play each challenge, and the difference only comes from the music and the visuals. I’ve played that too, and in a sense, we’ve all kind of played all of them, because they are all very similar. Or there’s Rhythm Tweezers, where you have to pull the whiskers out of an onion man’s face in time with the music. The second I played it, I knew what I was doing – I’ve played it before. The better you do, the greater your score. This is a minigame that has you hold the button down to fill a robot with fuel, some large, some medium, in time with the music. Take Fillbots, for example, Rhythm Heaven on DS. Unfortunately, being a greatest hits means that even if you’ve played any of the games in passing, you’re going to have your memory synapses firing as you play the minigames that make up Megamix. Nintendo are excellent at doing what The Simpsons did in its best years: taking something that is very child-friendly, and somehow making it appeal to all ages, far beyond what it should, and Rhythm Paradise Megamix does exactly this, only with slightly diminishing returns.īeing, as it is, a best of collection of the three previous Rhythm Tengoku games, if you’re a fan of the series, you’re going to know exactly what is going on here. I have a serious soft spot for 3DS rhythm games, right back to importing Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan for the DS back in 2005, and I tell you that because, in part, I want to show off my import credentials, but also because it’s important you know that these kind of games aren’t for everyone. Despite these affirmations, there is no information regarding a new title in the series being developed. On July 31th, 2020, he tweeted in celebration of the fifth anniversary of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, reaffirming a desire for a Switch title, and on June 16th, 2022, he retweeted a fan request for a new title on Switch. Later on April 9th, 2020, he replied to a post regarding his interest in continuing the series, expressing ideas for what features a title on Nintendo Switch could have.

On May 8th, 2019, he retweeted an article about the game, asking fans what they think is revolutionary about the series. In the years since the release of the previous title, series producer Tsunku♂ has expressed interest in developing a new game.
