For the new entry on the [[niwanetwork:Wii|Wii]], the team made use of its special features, such as being a home console allowing them to sneak in various details for on-lookers to find, which also led to the [[Two-Player Mode]].

Despite the seeming mismatch of ideas, everything still came together. Everyone on the team got to name the [[Rhythm Games]] as well<ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/wii/rhythmheavenfever/0/1 Iwata Asks - Rhythm Heaven Fever - Page 2]</ref>. The development team was three times as large as the [[Rhythm Heaven|previous game]], with some team members who joined towards the end being fans of that game.
