Thankfully, though, after a discussion between myself and Ben Southam (Cubed3 user ‘dojo,’ who used to work on the staff side of the site, but now helps at Nintendo events), a request was made and the volume of Rhythm Paradise was considerably upped. When entering the Nintendo Press event at the start of the day, all TV sets had their volume on quite low so as to avoid disturbing and disorientating those playing in close proximity to another title. In terms of the music included, it was initially tough to gauge. Finally, there was a mid-air badminton match that took place in bi-planes, with the computer opponent whacking the shuttlecock in your direction in varying patterns with the aim being to continuously return it without fail.īeing on Wii does not mean that Nintendo has decided to opt for vastly improving the visuals by adding a level of 3D to proceedings, but it has allowed for some extremely finely tuned 2D graphics to be used, whilst also retaining the charming cartoon-esque imagery of the past two games. The second stage involved a samurai, slashing his sword in time with the beat in order to slice different types of ghosts in two as they emerged from a dark cave, attempting to knock the warrior over. ![]() ![]() Maintaining the weird and wacky nature of both the first two entries in this rhythm series, as well as the WarioWare series, the first level had players controlling a giant fork and having to catch peas that were flicked from deeper into the screen outwards at an angle. However, as many players will know, it all depends on the tune featured on a stage and how well you get to grips with the background beat that determines the timing required for button presses (or stylus taps/swipes in the DS edition). There were three modes of play on offer, each supposedly increasing in difficulty. The build of Rhythm Paradise ( Minna no Rhythm Tengoku in Japan, Rhythm Heaven in the US) that was on show at the recent Nintendo event was still all in Japanese since the game is not scheduled for release in Europe until early 2012 and only arrived in Japan itself recently, yet just as it was easy enough to navigate through the Japanese-only Rhythm Tengoku on the Game Boy Advance, figuring out the basics of this third entry into the series from the makers of WarioWare was not exactly taxing. ![]()
