==Development History== | |||
Development of this title was much like the previous games, with series producer [[wikipedia:Tsunku|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, [[wikipedia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]] was reportedly hospitalized for larynx cancer, and had his vocal chords removed<ref>"He lost his voice by complete removal of the vocal folds due to larynx cancer in October 2014, but he has been actively engaging himself in various music projects and appearing on television as well as working as a nationally renowned producer in the entertainment industry." ~ [https://www.tsunku.net/en/profile.php Profile│Tsunku♂official web site]</ref>. This necessitated having his communication with the staff at Nintendo become more of a back and forth than before<ref>"Hmmm. Basically nothing has changed too much from the previous titles. Although during the latter half, when I lost the ability to speak, there was more back and forth through the staff. There’s a pattern where I first write a song, and then the game is formed around that, and one where the game structure already exists and we put a song to that. Also, there’s one where Nintendo sends me this unique sheet music, I guess you could call it, this rhythm sheeting music for shouting along gets delivered to me, and I put a song to that rhythm sheet music. Mainly the songs in the beginning of the game are like that." ~ [[wikipedia:Tsunku|Tsunku♂]], [http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/43066/iwata-asks-in-commemoration-part-3-rhythm-heaven-megamix-iwata-asks-in-writing-rhythm-heaven-megamix Iwata Asks in Writing: “Rhythm Heaven Megamix” - Feature - Nintendo World Report]</ref>.

On June 6, 2015, [[wikipedia:Tsunku|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<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64sKvanjmBQ Nintendo Direct 3/3/16: Rhythm Heaven Megamix]</ref>. 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<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-4YoppQ6NM Rhythm Heaven Megamix - Official Game Trailer - Nintendo E3 2016]</ref>, 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 [[Rhythm Heaven/Unused|cut]] from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' due to memory constraints<ref>[https://www.destructoid.com/gdc-09-chatting-with-nintendos-rich-amtower/ GDC 09: Chatting with Nintendo's Rich Amtower – Destructoid]</ref>. | |||
