Nintendo shocked the Rhythm Heaven community during today's Nintendo Direct with the announcement of the next installment in the hit franchise, Rhythm Heaven Megamix, a localisation of a previous retail release in Japan.

The game will contain more than 100 rhythm games, 30 of which are brand new to the series.

In addition, 70 selected levels from previous titles will be included as well. Some of these levels find their origin in the original Game Boy Advance title, never released in North America.
