  • Before Rhythm Heaven and Rhythm Paradise released on the DS, there was Rhythm Tengoku for the Gameboy Advance. This game, despite never releasing outside of Japan, received a lot of love including a fan translation. But now that you're able to play some of these exclusive rhythm games in Megamix for the 3DS, I thought it was time to talk about the development of Rhythm Tengoku!
    Enjoy!

    Rhythm Heaven is such an underrated Nintendo franchise. I'm happy we were able to get localized versions for most of them.

      I had the DS game in 2013, but lost it. I bought it again though because since about September I've been really into the series again, which was good timing, as Megamix got released the next month here in the UK and about a week ago they released Fever on the Wii U eShop. As for this game I'm just using an emulator with the English fan patch. It's a great series.

    It's finally nice to see the Rhythm Heaven franchise get noticed a bit more. As an early member of the fandom, I can safely say that the Rhythm Heaven series isn't all that popular, or even well known. It has a relatively small fandom, and it makes me happy to see the franchise get a little more recognition. I just hope it will get well known, so that way more people can experience it. Thank you for making the video.

    @WilfredCthulu 7 років тому +26

    After playing Megamix this is actually blowing my mind right now that so many games on there were from this. I seriously had no idea.

  • @bakasan8238
    @bakasan8238 7 років тому +47

    I just was wondering why the first Rythm Heaven was Japanese exculsive. This was well timed.

    • @lamptrent
      @lamptrent 7 років тому +6

      If you ever feel like playing it, there's a fan-translation out. It's not 100% complete, but it's definitely playable.
      Beware emulator lag, however. It might ruin your sense of rhythm for a while, and you'll be early over and over again in other rhythm games.

    • @BeavisOfArabia
      @BeavisOfArabia 7 років тому +4

      Bought the game on my gameboy and easily cleared it as well as 100% it(except for those drumming lessons, pain in the arse). You don't need to worry about an English translation, the game is simple to understand.

    • @DaVince21
      @DaVince21 7 років тому +5

      There are a few very clear exceptions to that though: the soldier march minigame required you to understand the words for "march", "turn left" and "turn right". The Toss Boys game requires you to either know the words for yellow, red and blue or at least get accustomed to the cues for them. The Bon Dance game is initially difficult when you can't read along with the text because the claps may come very suddenly.
      But yeah, otherwise, the series as a whole is fairly easy to understand without knowing Japanese! It IS that much more enjoyable when you do understand the text though. :)

    • @ClaytonFromMidgar
      @ClaytonFromMidgar 11 місяців тому

      It was planned to release in North America in March of 2007 but due to a press conference that prevented the game's west releases, it didn't release in the US but the Marching Orders from Megamix were recycled from the GBA version into English
      Same goes for the PAL version of Kirby's Dream Land 3 and the west versions of Animal Crossing 64 (or Animal Crossing e for GameCube)

  • @SuperFlomm
    @SuperFlomm 7 років тому +18

    I first discovered the dragon in a video where someone hacked the game and replaced the Tap Trial sprites with the Remix 7 sprites. Unfortunally I can't find this video anymore.
    Some time later I poked around in an emulator's tile viewer and found the camel. At first I thought it was a weird dog.
    Eventually I found that TCRF didn't have thouse unused sprites. So I ripped them myself and uploaded them. And it's great to see that you found my sprite rips on TCRF and used them in your video. It's like I contributed a little piece to this awesome video and it makes me happy that I could help.
    Thank you! For your informative and entertaining videos.

    I understood that the idea or concept of game was Masami Yone who was also the main composer with TSUNKU in the first two installments, less in the last two (Wii and 3DS), in the last, Yone played the role of director, where he could do everything that could not be done in the previous entrances.
    Not even you name it. :/

The game changed a lot during development so if there is enough information, maybe a full beta64 episode?
