A new music based game for the Nintendo DS system, Rhythm Beat is available, Nintendo announces. In the game players must tap and flick the stylus on the touch screen and keep the beat in over 50 mini-games.
“Rhythm Heaven represents another example of how Nintendo creates new experiences that surprise and delight people,” pointed out Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive VP of Sales & Marketing. “The game exudes a simple charm and captures an endearing quality that makes it very appealing to all types of players.”
Rhythm Heaven is quite a different music-based game compared to the ones on the market, combining rhythmic sounds with many hand-held challenges. In the Glee Club mini-game for instance, players must tap the screen to keep a chorus of three, singing properly. The game, which is completely controlled with the stylus, utilizes it for many different purposes, such as tapping the screen just right to get a few monkeys to dance to music. The game gets more challenging as the difficulty level gradually increase with the speed of the songs.
Rhythm Heaven is fun and easy to pick up, and even people who are new to such games can derive hours of enjoyment from the game. Also, Beyoncé will be featuring in the game’s commercials which can be seen on MTV, VH1, Comedy Central and other networks or at the game’s official site.
The game, like almost the entire library of more than 850 DS games, can also be played on the Nintendo DSi, which was recently launched in the US.
