Alongside the WarioWare games, probably one of the weirder but strangely addictive series Nintendo has released over the years is Rhythm Heaven. While the original Game Boy Advance title was never localised, the west did end up receiving the DS sequel followed by Rhythm Heaven Fever on the Wii, and Rhythm Heaven Megamix for the 3DS.
If you've been crying out for another entry in this rhythm-based series, you're going to need to show your support. Responding to a message on Twitter, the series creator and composer Mitsuo "Tsunku" Terada said he would also like to see Rhythm Heaven make a return on the Switch, and asked fans to raise their voices "together" in support of the series.
Keep in mind, a new game is still a decision for Nintendo to make, but it would be great to see this charming series return during the Switch generation. It seems to have developed more of a following than some might think in recent years – with a rumour back in 2018 even suggesting that the Chorus Kids could be joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as playable fighters.

Yes absolutely I would love to see Thing
Rhythm Heaven in Switch. It's always been a really charming game.
TOGETHER NOW!!
@Anti-Matter
Done....we need Rhythm Heaven on the big screen again...a new game, Megamix HD, or even Rhythm Heaven DIY! (not happening, I know, lol)
I'm not a fan of the series, but I'll voice out anyway just to get the Switch to sell more and more.
I'd love to have the series make a new one also.
@Anti-Matter To each their own, I meant why don't we get both games! More games for everybody!
Heck yeah! Rhythm Heaven is amazing! At the very least port Megamix to the Switch with more of the minigames!
@Anti-Matter I'm the opposite really. I like Rhythm Heaven more because you're actually controlling a character in those games and I find it easier to stay on the beat and have fun. It also helps me get into each of the games since there is usually some sort of story going on in every minigame in their own wacky worlds.
Not saying DDR games don't have a story or aren't fun (I had a great time with Mario DDR on Gamecube, which had a serviceable story). But in the actual gameplay, you aren't controlling the character, you are waiting for an arrow to reach the top or bottom of the screen.
Rhythm Heaven is great. I'd like wholly new entry, tho. Megamix was a refined version of all previous titles, but I'd like some new stuff.
@AnnoyingFrenzy
Take a look a comparison video of Paranoia Revolution being played by DDR and Rhythm Heaven.
It feels more challenging to being played on DDR. Just look at the amount steps you have to press on DDR.
And of course a rhythm games doesn't need to take control the characters. It's all about the songs you play and the difficulty level.
@Anti-Matter Oh, no doubt there's more challenge to DDR, I'm not arguing that, but I'm not going to lie, the Rhythm Heaven one looked more fun to me.
YES, PLEASE, I WANT IT SO MUCH! T~T
I'd like a new entry AND a smash representitve announced at the same time
Please. Please. PLEASE
I am still trying to master the megamix on 3ds. I just need two more perfects but I have been playing the machine remix over and over and I just can't seem to perfect those last two hair plucking sessions. I was close last night though. Maybe tonight is the night!
I thought they said Megamix is the final game in the series..or at least it looks like it considering it's the "Best of" a la Warioware Gold.
If they feel like giving it a Switch shot. I'm in.
@gokev13 Oh man, Machine Remix is a pain (especially if you are trying to solo the challenge train), but the one that took me the longest was Jumpin Jazz.
@Anti-Matter Dude, that Rythm Heaven version looked pretty intense to me. I can understand having a preferred style of gameplay though. i don't think either is right or wrong.
@AnnoyingFrenzy I like how Rythm Heaven actually does have some lore of sorts, like the Karate guy romance shenanigans and munchy monk having a kid.
Good game. But probably I will have other games like priority. Switch have many games. If came, maybe in the future I can buy.
@Kalmaro Yeah, even the minigames have some self contained stories, like how in Samurai Slice you are slicing through demons because they stole a pinwheel, and then the final demon you slice through is holding a pinwheel. It's also fun seeing the characters from some minigames show up in others! Like how the Sneaky Spirits or rats from Rat Race will appear in Freeze Frame!
@Kalmaro Oh yeah, and in that video Anti-Matter posted, I thought it was pretty challenging, but nothing that impossible (that one Tambourine section would be tough but doable), but then Built to Scale happened and I just lost it.
@AnnoyingFrenzy
Jumping Jazz didn't give me to much trouble but maybe it was because I was used to it from playing the DS Rhythm Heaven. I didn't think I would have as much trouble as I was having now since I already did solo the rhythm train. I then got down to three songs left to get perfect on: Machine Remix, Love Rap, and The Final Remix. Love Rap gave me some trouble but after getting serious with it I managed to get it done.
Yeah, I really liked it on the DS so I'd be down for another one.
And Chorus Kids in Smash, why not? Their design is so adorable and awesome!
@gokev13 Yeah, I'm honestly not sure why Jumpin Jazz was giving me so much trouble. I would always just choke near the end for some reason, but I eventually did it and have every song perfect! Now I'm working on getting through the challenge train. If you thought Machine Remix is hard now, just try doing it sped up.
@AnnoyingFrenzy Exactly! I loved those little details.
@AnnoyingFrenzy
Oh I know how hard it is sped up, but I already got through that challenge so I thought the perfect would be a lot easier for me.
Though my heart sank when I saw the lockstep challenge on the train. I managed to do it but I am not entirely sure how. I think I somehow turned off most of my self awareness and became a button pushing robot for that challenge.
@gokev13 Oh man! You beat that?! Teach me your ways, oh wise and noble sensei...
I'm really enjoying the rhythm game in Ring Fit Adventure that also gives me a major work out.
Although if they made a Rhythm Heaven game that let me use the Ring Fit than I'd be all in.
I'm a big fan of rhythm-heaven. Bring it on!
@AnnoyingFrenzy
Ha ha, but seriously the same power I used to beat the challenge train lies inside you as well. Just relax, take a deep breath and practice every day and eventually you will persevere. There are some cool Easter eggs if you do it though so have hope. Remember I am just simply a man who beat all of the train challenges. A simple who cannot even get a perfect on the Machine Remix!!
Honestly was just think about that today. Would love it so much. Wish I had a Twitter to share more
Nah. I'm long past begging for Switch games. Nintendo knows the device is popular, and that games do well on it. If they release one of these games, I'll buy it.
@Yosher AAAAAAAAAH. Oh wait, sorry, I AAAAAHED for too long
Wuba duba dub is that true?
Well let’s see it! I’d love to see this and an Osu Tatakae Ouendan released.
YES!!! YES!!!! A MILLION TIMES YES!!! .... This is one of my favorite Nintendo underdog franchises.
I'd take a remake or a port of Megamix cause RH is one of my favorite series! Ill take a new game as well (as long as the producer / director recovers well from his health) I would love a new WarioWare as well!
@Anti-Matter But all the songs play the same in Dance Dance Revolution. Rhythm Heaven is all about creative game design and pure rhythm, you can even play the game with your eyes closed.
Yes! Yes! Yes! All of my yes!
Rhythm Heaven is like the best game series ever. We could never have enough.
Would be a day 1 purchase without a shadow of a doubt.
Considering the size of switch games I think we should get a updated version of the 3DS megamix one PLUS more content on top of that to.
@Kirby_Girl That wouldn't really work. The point of Rhythm Heaven was always almost frame-prefect reactions, and it wouldn't work with motion controls, sadly. The Wii version didn't have any motion controls either, and it was an amazing game.
@glaemay
"Rhythm Heaven is all about creative game design and pure rhythm, you can even play the game with your eyes closed."
Hold my drinks.
Me was playing DDR X2 Arcade with blindfold and facing backward the monitor. No mistakes at all as you heard a Beam laser sound at the end of the song, sign of Full Combo Finishing.
I'm very serious when playing DDR Arcade.
Well to answer the question quite simply, yes!
@LzWinky Sorry, try again for the Perfect.
discordant screaming
@Yosher intense, discordant screaming
@StephenYap3 that is the spirit pal! good job!
@Anti-Matter wow!!! cool! it reminded me playing guitar hero and rock band! and why not dj hero? old times!
I think we all need a new Rhythm Heaven game
Ive waited for a new game since the last game. You have my support.
100% YES!!!!!
Anyone know where we should voice our support?
Rhythm Heaven, please! Yeah yeah yeah! This series is so good and is such a good mood kind of game. I cannot play this and NOT smile. I have every release of this including the GBA one, but I can't get enough of it!
@Anti-Matter lol ok well played but you need a lot of memorization to do this.
WarioWare and Rhythm Heaven are two of the last IPs I need on Switch to give it a perfect library. Please, Nintendo.
Yes please! My favorite rhythm series.
Why don’t they just do a Kickstarter project?
I've bought them all, the last two at launch. I love these games, just the right difficulty too for me. And I love the diversity in themes and music genres they Allah's have!
@Tandy255 Because it's a Nintendo series. They don't need to do that.
I'm making my picket signs right now, where do we gather to show our support?? I NEED TO FEEL THE GROOVE! I'M A LADY NOW!!!!!
@Krisi A yes I had the Wii version of the game. It was too hard for me once I completed all the first section's levels and got to the next "word" or "section" of levels. I know the series has it's major fans tho so it wouldn't be bad to see ports of the games or even a new one.
@infernogott They don’t need to for the money, however, it would demonstrate the amount of interest in a new game rather than just replies on twitter. Of course, then Kickstarter would get a cut.
@GlutenFreeGamer We are gathering at the Rhythm Arena! If we get there early we may get to see them interview the Wrestler!
This. Beat. Is Non. Stop!
Since it's the only Nintendo game a blind person can play without problems, they should make it even easier for blind people to jump into the game, with every option in the menus being a different sound effect.
Also, count me in, Rhythm Paradise on Wii is a musical masterpiece.
Oh my, I would be all over Rhythm Heaven on Switch. RHF is one of my favourite games on the Wii. And it's fun to play with friends even in single player, simply taking turns to try beat the levels.
(And here I was thinking they might surprise us with a new entry in any coming Direct. Turns out it's not even in development?! SAD)
Do it. The Rhythm Heaven games are great.
We also want WarioWare games (looking at you, Twisted)! I did buy the WarioWare games that were available on the WIi U VC.
RIP 1-2 Switch. It is the first Switch game that I ended up not keeping.
For you, Tsunku, anytime! <3
LET'S HAVE IT, NINTENDO!!!
Rhythm Heaven on 3DS is a treasure.
Love me some Rhythm Heaven DS
@geo-shifter YEH
one of my favorite series ever . !
A new one would be great!
If this doesn't happen, then I might just go crazy.
This needs to happen! I have lots of fun playing megamix and fever, and my ears need more rhythm heaven!!! Please Tsunku!!!
Rhythm Heaven Fever was my first game on Wii
And Rhythm Heaven Megamix was my first game on 3ds
And I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM
If there is another one on the nintendo switch i must buy it no questions
YES!!!! It would be so great to see the Rythmn Heaven series come to the switch! I will 100% buy🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
PLEASE PLEASE RELEASE A GAME FOR THE SWITCH! I literally just created this whole nintendolife account so that I can comment on this article! Don't believe me? Check out my bio on my profile! Thats how important this game is to me!!! JUST DO IT! THE WORLD NEEDS IT!
Thanks!
@Yattaze RH would fit well on mobile but knowing how Mario Kart Tour came out I would rather have it on console.
PLEASE Nintendo, make this happen. It's hard to top the beauty of RH Megamix, but Rhythm Heaven on a large screen and 2P mode is why I keep bringing out RH Fever after all these years. A Rhythm Heaven Megamix Deluxe (Ultramix?) would be perfect for switch - it wouldn't even have to be that different from Megamix - just some additional content to take advantage of the Switch's features.
If they don't make a Rhythm Heaven game for Switch, I'll just stick to making my own Custom Remixes.
Give us Rhythm Heaven pleaseeeeeee!
