While physical copies were available in Europe, it would be a shame to see a large number of viewers miss out on the digital-only version of this one. We found ourselves going back to the same tracks again and again to rack up bigger and better combos and therefore easily filled hours of playtime. Like the best rhythm games out there, this is a title that’s easy to understand but hard to master. The writing is humorous in its weirdness, the visual style pops with delightful vibrancy and the songs are enough to rhythmically challenge the most of us in no time. The series never quite made a big splash globally as it did in Japan, so this entry serves as a good summary of everything that made it click.

Why should I play it?Īs the name suggests, Rhythm Heaven Megamix is the ‘best of’ mixtape for the franchise, but that doesn’t mean the game doesn’t bring anything new to the table. We’ll admit that it’s not a very engrossing plot, but it’s enough to keep you hooked for hours of rhythm-based gameplay, so we can’t really complain.

There is also a (loose) story in Megamix to travel to the world of Heaven. You tap and press buttons along to the beat of a series of fun songs - it’s a rhythm game, what did you expect? Tsunku again takes charge of the composition here and later tracks become infused with the genre.

Nintendo was behind it, making the NA digital-only release all the more surprising.
