Second Contact

Second Contact (かえってきた通訳者 Kaettekita Tsuyakusha "Return of Interpreter") is a Rhythm Game that appears in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The point of the game is to translate what is being said to the rhythm. It is similar to First Contact. In this game, the player controls an alien translating a human.

Gameplay


Second Contact's gameplay focuses on repeating a pattern by hitting the A button or directional pad. The character will start by speaking to a rhythm represented by a symbol (a picture of a person) and then give the player a cue to repeat that same rhythm, translating the symbols to words.
