My favorite Rhythm Heaven. This one has my favorite mini-games, and the touch screen gameplay is used in so many different ways, that it doesn't get old. There's plenty of content, so the experience lasts. If you've never played a Rhythm Heaven game, I recommend this one. A personal favorite.

in valencia, my housemate Ana saw my DS Lite I'd brought and lit up and told me she still had hers (that's DE ESE to you...), and that she in fact had a early R4 card too! I got --obsessed-- with it and loaded all kinds of shit onto it.

the firmware was old and I was scared to update it in fear of erasing her childhood memories. (this thing had those EU-only shin-chan games on it. this had BOOGIE for nintendo DS on it. you remember that movie? google it.)

what wound up happening is that I backed up all of these licensed games onto my laptop, deleted them off the card to make room for Dragon Quest V (which wouldn't even work due to anti piracy) and then saw I hadn't finished backing up the games before I took the card out. this is me coming clean, I'm sorry Ana you were so kind to me and really helped me create a home in such a foreign place. I did, however leave Rhythm Heaven (2008) on that R4 card, which may bring you as much joy as it brought me. each game (while some are better than others) is made with such pure LOVE for music. this is the best rhythm game ever made, and I should get around to playing that 3DS one I got...........

fuck moai doo wop, literally the bane of my existence

harder than tengoku by a lot, this is probably my second fave in this all medals replay run
im sure 12 year old me would be glad to know that i was finally able to get a superb on shoot em up 2


This game is just CHOCK-full of nostalgia for me. Rhythm Heaven was one of my first games I ever had on my DS when I was young and didn't play much besides board game adaptations and party games. I remember the first time I played it was on a plane ride where I didn't think to put headphones in and played it with the sound off. Took me an hour to beat the first minigame. Once I realized you really need sound to play a Rhythm Game, I became hooked. I spend days upon days working hard to Superb and then Perfect all the minigames. As an extremely young kid, it took a lot.

The minigames here are an excellent collection. There are very few that are either boring or unfun (though Lockstep can go hug a cactus). There's also a lot of fun side modes and minigames that provide a bunch of extra entertainment beyond the main minigames.

An excellent game for rhythm game enthusiasts that will challenge your skills to the max

It's a Rhythm Heaven game y'all know it's good

Excellent! But I still don't like flicking.

My childhood. Probably the first game I played where I thought "wow, I'm actually really good at this!" and still holds up all these years later

I don't think this series is for me honestly, it and other rhythm heaven like games are just boring after a while.

Fun rhythmic minigames to a bangin OST. Not really a whole lot of games like it out there. Absolutely charming and wacky considering the fact it came from the warioware team. The touch controls can be a bit finnicky though so watch out.

eu acho que eu prefiro o rhythm heaven de Wii (fever), mas eu nem sei

jogando esse jogo eu percebi que eu amo muito essa franquia. Todo o carisma, criatividade, e qualidade em sua forma mais pura me conquistaram do mesmo jeito que franquias como kirby fizeram comigo.

e sim ele é dificil as fuck, mas entender o ritmo de cada joguinho da uma satisfação gigantesca

10/10, juego ritmico impresionante, maravilloso.

I was skeptical of this game at first, but I grew to love it. But I do think it overuses the touch screen a little.

Very good but also pretty inessential when up against the rest of the series.

The music in this game carried me through high school

I wish for the day i get to play this game on actual hardware again, incredibly fun

AAAAAAA
AAAAAAA
AAAAAAA
AHORALAVÉZ

this entire game lives in my head rent-free

No se me dan bien los juegos de música...


This is definitely the most difficult game in the Rhythm Heaven series but it sure is a lot of fun. It took a really long time to get the hang of this one but I did and now it all feels natural. The flicking and holding sideways is a tough adjustment. Especially the flicking. I find that it doesn't always register well. I also think that this has the weakest soundtrack out of all of the RH game series.

so much fun in such a little package

MUITO CARISMATICO E MINIGAMES MUITO INTELIGENTES CARA QUE JOGO BACANUDO HEIN TE DIZER

Its fun, but i'll be damned if I ain't really bad at it
