I'll have to keep an eye on this. Any sort of demo hitting? I think I saw it on the Japanese eShop, but didn't seem to have a demo I could try out.
I tried out the demo on my phone earlier this week. A rhythm game for the Switch AND it's a launch title? You had my money already but I wanted to see how the gameplay was.
Fast forward to a few moments ago when I purchased this game from the Japanese eshop, lol.
It's a great game. You play the tutorial song and after that, all songs are unlocked. 3 difficulties, also unlocked from the start.
It's simple in the sense that there's just 1 mode: pick a song and jump right in.
The play field is pretty cool. It's not static. It goes very well with the music. Can be tricky at times as well.
There are speed mods to increase the speed in which the notes come down. 10x is the highest. Songs have their own mods, and that goes back to what I mentioned about the play field not being static. A note might come down from the left but it'll move to the right as it's coming down. It definitely keeps you on your toes.
It also has calibration. I changed it to -20. Very slight change. Definitely not off sync and you might not even have to calibrate it.
There's also the option to add a sound when you hit the notes.
Here are some pictures I took:
There's over 100+ avatars you can unlock.
You start off with 3 keys and you can use 1 to unlock 3 random avatars. How do you earn keys? There's a "Diary" menu where you complete challenges. The first challenge asks you to beat a song on easy, getting a B or higher. This earns you 4 keys. You can't see the next challenge until you complete the current one.
When you do complete a challenge, you unlock a piece of artwork. There are 76 challenges so 76 pieces of artwork.
You can sort the music by A-Z or by difficulty.
There's an indicator on top, 2 diamonds, on either side of the word "combo". If you're getting nothing but perfects, it'll be in gold. If you get a perfect but then an OK, those 2 small diamonds will turn blue. It's only when you break combo that it'll turn white.
A few moments ago, I got all perfects on a song (gave me an S grade) but that doesn't give you the max score. There are 2 kinds of perfects. Think of it like Marvelous and Perfect in DDR. I don't know if there's a higher grade than S.
I am very impressed with this game. I could have waited for the US release but I'm glad I didnt.
Something I wish they had were leaderboards. The mobile version has it, correct? Maybe in future updates it'll be added.
This is a definite buy if you're into rhythm games IMO. A surprise launch title and a great price.
So if I buy this on the Japanese eShop and play with my US account, it'll give me the English version of the game, right?
Thinking about getting some Japanese eShop credit so I can play this and blaster master early.

Is this one of those game that forces you to play through easy and then normal modes first? £18 is kinda steep to jump in, might check out the iOS version first.
Wow these are great impressions, thanks. The avatars are new to the Switch version, I think, which makes sense because they need something to reward players for progression now that it's not free to play anymore.

lol no, someone just asked about Love Live.wait this is from klabs?
where's my idols?
Guess I can do that. I remember playing DJMAX Ray for a bit & liking it, and this seems similar. Though considering the Switch's bigger screen, I figured that would give me a better first impression compared to my phone.I don't think there's a demo on Switch, but you can always try the handful of free songs on mobile if you want to get a feel for how it plays.
Yeah that's about right.Guess I can do that. I remember playing DJMAX Ray for a bit & liking it, and this seems similar. Though considering the Switch's bigger screen, I figured that would give me a better first impression compared to my phone.
I'm guessing the song length is of that of a regular rhythm game, i.e. 1:30 to 2 minutes long?
I have a hard time seeing if this game is for me. Great bang for your buck, seemingly interesting gameplay, but I don't care for the atmosphere and story mode, and most of all, I don't know if the soundtrack is for me.
Every video I see is of the hardest songs, which are way too techno-y for me. Based on those, I would hate the game. What other kinds of songs, if any, are there?
Ascension to heaven?! Well this purchase just got a lot easier.And here's a video of someone playing Switch exclusive song Ascension to Heaven. Allegedly it's harder than anything in the base game.
Asian Pop, Electronic, Dance and Dubstep.
Thank you. Any representative songs on YouTube?
Well, here's the track list from mobile which is more or less the same on Switch.
Again, thanks. Just listened to 3 random songs. Not really feeling it tbh.
It's a shame because I need to scratch that rhythm game itch, but I basically hate/am indifferent towards any game that's not Ouendan or Rhythm Tengoku. I always hate the soundtracks, the generally sterile look and feel, and the gameplay mechanics. Plus, VOEZ in particular really looks like a budget rhythm game. I know none of the artists or songs, and while I don't need everything to be made by Porno Graffiti, it's nice to have a decent number of "safe" songs that are just easy to listen to and let me focus on the flow of the gameplay without wanting to pierce my eardrums. I like a wacky/charming/warm aesthetic too, which very few such games provide aside from Ouendan and Rhythm Tengoku.
A real shame. What a great deal this is, wish I could get excited for it :/.
Most rhythm games are all about just previewing at the song selection screen and playing whatever you like. Forget what name is attached to the song and just follow your instincts.
You know what? The mobile versions are free to download, so just download it on your phone and preview a bunch of locked songs. You can even play a rotating selection of temporarily free songs that way.
As for your preferences, right now Time Phase Pt. 1 (jazz) and Wilt (ballad) are free to play on mobile. Excellent contrast from the mostly electronic selection.
Well I don't know the details but I do know that it was almost literally a last minute addition in Europe; it was announced I think 2 days before launch hence why I mentioned having to make the OP on rather short notice. They did say that they only made it for launch in Europe thanks to Nintendo's help.I finally bought this earlier through the Japanese eshop (which was easier than I thought) and am loving it! Even after a few hours of play I've gone through ~30-40? of the 100 or so songs which is excellent. Basing off my experience with osu's mania mode and similar games this was pretty easy to get used to, except for the almost constant moving of the tracks/bars that I found to be somewhat annoying at times but I suppose it keeps things dynamic and adds a level of challenge. For me, the Hard difficulty provides the best balance of fun and challenge. This game seems like it's made for tablets or devices with large screens; I don't want to imagine how it would play on an ordinary smartphone. I really hope more games like this come out on the Switch.
Also, does anybody know why this game isn't a launch title for US peoples? It's odd that the European and Japanese versions are out but not the US; the Japanese version I have appears complete and without any noticeable issues. It makes me think that something happened with the preparation of the US version.

Maybe NoE helped them speed through certification? I don't know.
My first attempt at the supposably hardest song...welp can't say I didn't try, honestly surprised I didn't get a D or whatever is the lowest possible grade haha
Just tried it. Yup, this is a hard song lol. I think I got a C as well.
I just finished playing Bataille Industrielle on Hard (11). That's a fun chart IMO.
Hah I just did a song without me doing anything just to test what the lowest grade is and still got a C score so I'll take that attempt as failing misarably xD
One thing I wish was better (unless I missed something) is that I wish it was easier to tell if the notes you play were perfect or just ok as you hit them rather then see them all at the end since it does factor into the score, I had one song where I only missed one note but only got a C and when I played it again but focused more on precision hitting I missed like 4 notes but got a B
This might help.
This game had them, just download it on your phone, the mobile version is f2p.We need demos, Nintendo!
