Rhythm Heaven (series)
The Rhythm Heaven (リズム天国?, Rhythm Tengoku) series holds all of the Rhythm Heaven games. There are currently a total of four released games, with one port and one upcoming title.
Conception
- Main article: Rhythm Tengoku/Development
In 2004, Tsunku♂ brought in a proposal and conception for what would eventually become Rhythm Tengoku. He was influenced by his dissatisfaction with "sound games" which involved pressing buttons at specific times but not actual rhythm. He initially envisioned it as potentially being early childhood software to hone in the rhythmic sense of Japanese people, or rhythm training software for karaoke lovers. The game proved to be very popular in Japan, and the sequel, Rhythm Heaven, would bring the series internationally.
Rhythm Tengoku
Rhythm Tengoku (リズム天国?, Rhythm Tengoku) is the first game in the series released for the Game Boy Advance on August 3, 2006 in Japan, and also the last game Nintendo had developed for the Game Boy Advance. This is the first installment of the series.
An arcade version was co-developed with SEGA and released on September 20, 2007 in Japan.
The player uses Ⓐ, Ⓑ and sometimes ✚ to control various characters, from a clapping trio to a space batter.
