Karate Man Returns (GBA) uses the original Japanese version's vocals, which were also originally in English. The other Karate Man games use the DS and Wii English vocals.

It seems that the Wii games keep their existing localizations, so you get to "enjoy" "Let's go read a bunch of books!" all over again.

Space/Cosmic Dance got new Engrish vocals for the directions. It literally sounds like someone from Intelligent Systems dubbed it in.

And I vote that the full "Tokimeki no Story" gets added to the OP:

Edit: Credits song was instrumentalized.

How do I get more rhythm...I'm not very good at this so far.

 

[blame space]

have you tried bobbing your head.. makes you feel like a goofy idiot but it's so fun.

This actually kind of helped, haha.

The tutorial said to not focus what's on screen---do pros close their eyes and just listen?

 

[Burning Justice]

Rhythm Rally is so much better with button controls.

 

[Shiggy]

NoE pls

Doubt we'll get a surprise release ;(

 

[Mesoian]

Bought it. Found out it's dual audio.

This is the best 30 dollars I've spent this month.

 

[petethepanda]

I had been dying for a rhythm game lately, such a great surprise.

 

[Deleted member 518609]

Q: Does this game use touch control like the DS game?
A: Nope, not at all. Everything is controlled with buttons, including the returning games from Rhythm Heaven DS.

Might be worth updating the OP, as in the Cafe you can choose to use the touchscreen instead.

 

[mrmickfran]

Just tried the demo.

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS SOOO FUN

WHAT THE HELL TOOK YOU SO LONG NOA!?!

 

[blame space]

Let's play basketball with fruit!

Press 🅰 when the fruit is right above my face.

 

[Benzychenz]

Doubt we'll get a surprise release ;(

If they give us a physical release then I'll be more than fine with that.

 

[Kinsei]

I go to sleep and this is announced? Sleep is the most evil thing ever. Ugh, Now I have to wait until the stores open to get a Nintendo Eshop code.

 

[blame space]

this is the greatest game of all time

 

[Beaniedude]

Australia gets this when?

 

[Benzychenz]

Whenever Europe gets it, ie we have no idea.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Did my part. At thirty and in both languages, this a great deal.

 

[Shiggy]

They uploaded all trailers on their YouTube channel, just not the one for this game. Let's see if we'll get news today.

 

[zroid]

The bottom screen sure adds a whole new layer to this game

definitely think it's going to help people improve their skill in the long run

 

[C.Olimar788]

Definitely a shame about the lack of lyric localization, but I'll take what I can get. So glad this came out here~ And I'm enjoying the heck out of it so far. It really seems like the "ultimate" Rhythm Heaven experience.

I thought I had really good rhythm until the bottom screen told me otherwise.

 

[blame space]

yeah I LOVE the bottom screen telling you if you're early or late in your peripheral vision.

 

[Anustart]

Nooooooooooooooo. They release this when I has no monies and won't til mid July or later. Nintendo hates me.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Even if it's not on cart I'll take it. Been a long time since we last got a RH game.

 

[Kinsei]

yeah I LOVE the bottom screen telling you if you're early or late in your peripheral vision.

It can get distracting but Rhythm Heaven has always been about tuning everything out and grooving to the rhythm.

 

[Hylian7]

Really bizarre how they just went "fuck it, we just translated text and used old English vocals, here you go". eShop only was unexpected too, but makes sense since the series hasn't sold well in the West. Dual audio is a godsend though. Now I don't have to endure the awful vocals from the DS games.

 

[RedToad64]

Loving this so far! It took a while to make it over, but I'm just glad that I can finally play it!

 

[ThanksVision]

Took this game's launch as an excuse to grab a $50 eshop card. Picked up this, pocket card jockey, and the Oracle games on sale. It feels great to be buying games for my 3ds again!

 

[TheLegendOfCap]

No buy for me unless it releases physically

*ends up caving in the next 24 hours*

[FSLink]

I actually usually disable it in the JPN version because it distracts me.

Blah can't get this until I go back home since I didn't bring my 3DS on my trip. Is there any English footage of Space Dance?

If you do that does the game still let you know when the skill star is coming up? If so then I'll do the same.

 

[Snarfington]

Oh man, that sudden release. Europe ASAP pls. Played it through in Japanese and was amazing, but I can't wait to try and make some sense of what's going on.

I think it does, yeah

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

For fuck's sake, NoE; get off your arses and give us a release date at least. I've been desperate to play this for fucking AGES.

 

[Bananastand]

For fuck's sake, NoE; get off your arses and give us a release date at least. I've been desperate to play this for fucking AGES.

It might release today, right? Thursday is usually the time for this stuff.

 

[octopiggy]

Oh man, digital only? That's a shame. Retail please Europe.

 

[Intel_89]

If they give us a physical release then I'll be more than fine with that.

It's up on Amazon UK and has an EAN code for it, it should mean it's going to be a retail game over here.

 

[stalker]

Oh man, digital only? That's a shame. Retail please Europe.

Yes, I want this game but I will not buy it on the eshop, even less at the suggested $ price.
Anyway I doubt it will be physical in Europe, the DS game was one of the few Nintendo games that reached bargain bin price and stood there for a long time.

 

[Benzychenz]

For fuck's sake, NoE; get off your arses and give us a release date at least. I've been desperate to play this for fucking AGES.

Like, it's business hours over at NoE now isn't it? When should they be sending out a press release for all the E3 announcements?

 

[Litri]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaate for EU

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

I'm so happy the ds games aren't touch anymore.

I couldn't get into RHG because of the vertical control scheme and touch controls and I preferred the original for that reason.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

Still nothing for Europe...but I'd rather have a physical release.

 

[-shadow-]

Hopefully Europe gets a boxed copy. I want... No I need this game!

 

[Shotgun Kiss]

It might release today, right? Thursday is usually the time for this stuff.

Ah, fair point! If we do indeed get a release today, I'll happily eat crow!

 

[Intel_89]

Holding on to this and the many amazon listings for dear life

Spoiler

please don't throw us a curve ball NoE

 

[ryushe]

Already imported and played this game to death, but I'm super tempted to double dip cause it's just so good.

That and now I can make sense of the admittedly unnecessary story.

 

[Boney]

Ñom ñom ñom ñom

Yeah, i mean, come on!!!!
