No Waggle Needed to Master Rhythm Heaven on Wii

I can understand this. It's harder to accurately use a Wii remote versus a touch screen

Thank you.

Yeah, summer IN JAPAN! What about over here Nintendo?? I want this title so bad. I hope they show it at E3!

Dodged a bullet there.

Incidentally, it's much easier to dodge a bullet with a button press than with motion controls!

The DS touchscreen worked wonderfully for the previous game, but I can see the arguments in favor of buttons on the Wii Remote. I just hope it's as zany and fresh as its predecessors.

Should've given us the option, or at least select games that are tailored to it...

THANKS GOD! i love me some motion gameplay, but not if it is about microseconds-reflexes.
maybe they add some gimmick minigames for some wagglez. r maybe the option to do a selected games waggle-fest.

I'm on the fence on whether or not just pressing buttons will create enough diversity in gameplay. Will have to play to know for sure. Looking forward to it, I loved the DS version.

Good, I was wondering how they would use motion to match the breakneck pace of Rhythm Heaven. I'm all for motion controls, apparently moreso than many Wii owners on this very sight, but I breath a sigh of relief hearing this news.

Well... I hope there will be the option to choose between classic and motion controls! I understand this game is about accuracy and perfect timing, I loved the DS one, but I also loved WarioWare Smooth Moves, and this could be a kind of mix of the best of both worlds, if done properly! (maybe in a separate game mode, not to hurt the core experience!)

Playing with motion controls would be fun, but given the precision Rhythm Heaven requires, I'm glad they went with buttons too.

Yup, agreed what everyone said. I even think the flicking thing was quite inaccurate on Rhythm Heaven. The original was brutal, but fair.

I loved the original for the GBA because it has a drum mode where you end up using all 4 directions + A, B, L and R .. that mode was awesome!!!
here is a link to youtube with gameplay for that mode:

the related links show you the drumming lessons which get really difficult but I got A score on all modes!!!

Oh thank god

I hope there's still an option for motion controls, if they can make them as fast and responsive as the motion controls in Mario Galaxy then you shouldn't have anything to worry about regarding their accuracy.

That just sealed the deal for me
Rhythm Heaven is still one of my favorite DS games, so I hope they're able to replicate the wacky magic on Wii.

YES! Day-one buy!

I was a bit worried before, but this is great news, that's for sure!

I echo the "motion bonus option," though accc-san had me think that this would be a hidden "Motion Plus" feature.

I want this game so bad, please bring it to America.

Oh, good, now I can actually consider buying it. No WAY I was going to go for it if it required motion controls. Of course, they'll have to actually release it here first.

Boo-yeah! Another game to waste about 3 years on, took me forever to get that perfect on Rhythm Rally 2 for DS, But I finally got it about 1 week ago, was that a big relief!

I would have liked motion control, but maybe buttons are better suited for this kind of quick reaction games!

Thinking about the number of times I've had my motions fail to register on Rhythm Parade and Rhythm Kung Fu in Wii Fit Plus, I can only conclude that this is the right decision.

Many thanks, phew. Rhythm Heaven was tons of fun on DS, can't wait for the Wii iteration.

@Twilight Hell no.
Ever played Rhythm Tengoku. The timing is so insanely specific, it's like playing Rockband, with every note being one pixel thick.

Hmm a Wii version.

After playing Let's Tap or Michael Jackson: The experience, I can say that they are doing it right by removing the waggle that just don't work with these games.

was there ever any doubt?
