Rhythm Paradise , also known as Rhythm Heaven or Rhythm Tengoku Gold (リ ズ ム 天国 ゴ ー ル ドRizumu Tengoku Gōrudo ), is a game by the Japanese company Nintendo . It was released in Europe on May 1, 2009 for the Nintendo DS and is the successor to Rhythm Tengoku and the predecessor of Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise .
development
Rhythm Paradise was developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development (Nintendo EAD) together with Mitsuo Terada as the successor to the Game Boy Advance game Rhythm Tengoku . The idea for the game came from programmer Kazuyoshi Osawa, who had previously worked on games like Metroid and WarioWare . Since Satoru Iwata , the then President of Nintendo, saw a lot of potential in the game principle, he had a sequel for the Nintendo Wii called Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise developed.
Gameplay
Rhythm Paradise is operated with the touchscreen and stylus of the Nintendo DS . The player has to master various mini-games .
The game consists of fifty small levels that are divided into ten columns in the main menu. Each column consists of four games and a remix in which all games have to be mastered again in a higher degree of difficulty. At the end of each mini-game, the player receives a rating on how well he has mastered the game. To pass the level, the player needs at least the rating "Just OK". If you get the rating “Superb”, ie if you play a level without errors, you will receive a medal with which you can unlock bonus games. Once all games have been passed, the player must play the games again with a higher level of difficulty. At the end of the game, a remix with all available mini-games must be mastered again.
music
The music in Rhythm Paradise was composed by Mitsuo Terada and Masami Yone. The singing that appears in some of the songs comes from the groups TNX, Canary Club, The Possible and Terada themselves. In the Japanese version the singing is in Japanese , in the American and Australian versions in English , in other countries in German , Spanish , French and Italian . The plans to include the Japanese songs in the western version failed due to insufficient space on the DS card.
reception
The game received mostly positive reviews. It received a rating of 34 out of 40 points from the Japanese video game magazine Famitsu . By January 11, 2009, it had been sold around 1,568,000 times. IGN Entertainment gave the game a 9.0 out of 10 points and awarded it the Editor's Choice Award .
The USK gave an age rating for all age groups, the PEGI recommends the game for players from the age of three.
