Rhythm Tengoku
Rhythm Heaven
Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade) was an arcade version of Rhythm Tengoku. It was developed by Nintendo and published by SEGA. It was released on September 20th 2007.
History
According to an Iwata Asks interview apparently SEGA approached them with an offer for an arcade version as the game was popular with SEGA staff. Osawa and Ko Takeuchi was impressed because he never thought Rhythm Tengoku was able to gain a following.
List of Rhythm Games
All of the rhythm games that appeared in the GBA version can also be played in this one. However, the arcade version has an extra stage of games.
Additionally, this version has a 2P Mode.
Differences
- The Rhythm Test, Café, Rhythm Toys, Endless Games, Drumming Lessons, Credits and Concert Hall are all absent from this version. The music unique to those modes can still be heard in the new features of this version, however.
- Players start the game with two hearts. Each heart is lost when starting a game. Getting a Superb or Perfect gives you an extra heart. If the player runs out, they will need to put in more money to continue.
- The player needs to clear all five games per stage with at least an OK in order to play the remix.
- The games Spaceball, Samurai Slice, Sick Beats, Bunny Hop, Night Walk and Built to Scale now have tutorials unlike the original.
- Ninja Bodyguard uses Left and Right on the D-pad, instead of D-pad and A. The arrows above the ninja are changed accordingly.
- Perfects can happen in the middle of the game, but only occur if the player has played perfectly up to a certain point.
- The game has a leader board feature, tallying up the score based on the players flow at the end of a stage.
- It has a higher resolution than the GBA version, but the graphics are generally the same.
