Development History
Development of this title was much like the previous games, with series producer Tsunku♂ working together with the staff at Nintendo to form the game around the songs, or vice versa. During the latter half of development in October 2014, Tsunku♂ was reportedly hospitalized for larynx cancer, and had his vocal chords removed[1]. This necessitated having his communication with the staff at Nintendo become more of a back and forth than before[2]. The game was first revealed during the Nintendo Direct on January 14, 2015 in Japan[3], with the Nintendo Direct on April 2 showing more gameplay footage[4]. On June 6, 2015, Tsunku♂ posted on his blog announcing the game, which would release 5 days later in Japan, titled Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+.
During the Nintendo Direct on March 3, 2016, the game was revealed in North America for the first time[5]. On June 16, 2016, the game was shown off at E3 2016 in North America, and released only on Nintendo eShop on the same day[6], titled Rhythm Heaven Megamix. On October 21, 2016, it released in Europe as Rhythm Paradise Megamix, and December 1, 2016 saw it released in South Korea as Rhythm Sesang: The Best+. Notably, the localized versions of the game all feature the option to play with the Japanese voices, which was previously exclusive to the European version of Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, and cut from Rhythm Heaven due to memory constraints[7].
