I've just started playing the EU game and unlocked the Cafe, there you can indeed switch between Japanese and English (+ others? not sure) languages.

:O really? Where can I find that? I'm done with the campaign already, haven't seen that anywhere.

THANKS YOU. I'll try this sometime later. I already experimented with Simple Tap, but not with using both hands. And I have pretty much the same background as you; musician (percussionist, even!) and can ace everything else except this one game. I've probably memorized all the cues by now, though!
It's in the cafe, on the far right. I believe it opens up pretty early on in the game.
I thought that this game would interest me more in other rhythm games, but having these self contained scenes with different styles and patterns tied to a specific song and theme is just so different from the usual rhythm titles where just arrows or circles fly across the screen.
I mean, I kinda enjoy Theathrythm once in a while, but usually have enough after a few songs, whereas I could played Rhythm Heaven for hours.
Megamix is such a great mix of heavy nostalgia for me - remembering where and who I was when I imported Tengoku and later played Heaven. With the amount of love this game has I definitely see myself picking this up every once in a while for years and years.
I'm so happy we got this game - that it exists. Such a unique, quirky, adorable series that can't be compared to anything else.

Was iffy on this game so far but that's now one of my favourite songs in all of Rhythm Heaven.

I've played through the whole game using the stylus and felt it was perfectly fine, but I'm curious to go with the button mode to see the difference and if I can hit a better timing in some games.
Can you only use the A button in the mini-games or also other buttons/D-pad?
For some reason I'm not really comfortable using only A :/

In The Snappy Trio the single super fast clap (that rewards the star) has an insane point weighting to it.
Was only managing a score ~73-76 while hitting every other note, and then when I barely hit it (nowhere near perfect timing) I got a score of 91.
Ah well, I've got my medal for 80+ at least lol.

I just beat the main mode,I don't understand why this has so many unlockable songs that could've been used instead of having two or three versions of the same games. On top of that, there should be more remix stages, those have always been the big standouts of the series and they're here as well, I just wish there were more of them. For the record, it took me 6 hours to go through the main mode which is pretty lenghty when compared to any other game in the series, if we ignore the fact that the majority of the songs in this one are from said previous titles.

Beat the game, got at least 80+ on everything for the medals.
Spent a little time getting perfects to buy the extra games, but the allure of playing minigames I already have on the old games isn't enough to push through the grind.
Also, holy shit at the amount of coin grinding you have to do to buy everything, after beating the game I managed to get maybe 20-30% of the rhythm items? And after those there's the music too.
Definitely the weakest in the franchise, story does nothing but slow it down, navigating game to game is a pain, and the start is way too easy. Games near the end were early game stuff in previous titles. I really enjoyed some of the new stuff though, Blue Bear and Kitties were especially fantastic.
Will keep it in my 3DS for when I want to play a quick game or two, but moving onto other games now.

I've already kinda stopped playing, and I still haven't found a single Remix.
Is anyone else having trouble staying interested in this compared to previous ones?
Yeah, I've been feeling this as well. I think I'm just not enjoying how they structured this one. Rhythm Heaven Fever had a gratifying loop where you'd play a bunch of tracks, build up to a Remix, and repeat, while gradually ramping up the beat difficulty. I'm not actually sure how far I got into Megamix, as it's been months since I last turned it on, but it felt like a seriously slow burn compounded by a slow drip of tracks I found memorable. A lot of people in here have said it builds momentum with a great back half, so I'm sure I'll get back to it at some point.
I'm still working on unlocking stuff (i have NO idea how i will be able to perfect lock step even with tap control... I even have issue with the frog song and never cleared the hard version of the "hit on the head" mini game... Man is it expensive !)
But it is an amazing game. I don't mind the story at all, it was cute but having only 10 remixes (which are not as good as the Wii version) was indeed kinda disappointing. That's the only downside i see, i loved Rhythm HEaven since the first one and will never let it go !
Hum.... I just fear that it was the "final episode" or something. I mean a new one can't realistically have 100 games.... So what will they do ?

I don't like the new structure of these wacky characters talking in between mini games. I didn't play the Wii version so I dunno if that was the same in that. Much preferred the GBA and DS versions where you just went from one mini game to another, followed by the remix.I've already kinda stopped playing, and I still haven't found a single Remix.

I bought this game about a week ago, and finished the story mode yesterday. This was my first game in the series, and I liked it. And after watching it on YouTube many times, I eas finally able to play Ring Side on my own. It was still one of the best game there were in this package. I didn't like Glee Club or Lockstep, I found it difficult to change the rhythm during the game.
Maybe I'll play the Wii game one day, too.

The Wii version works like the other games and it's well worth picking up, it still looks great on an HD TV even though the Wii outputs at 480p.

Bought it, haven't played since the first one on the DS... Did I grow old or WHAT ?
Some bullshit. But awesome game. But some bullshit.

Same. But I can see where everyone is coming from. Also if you get to the towers it's pretty straightforward anyway.

I think it's the strongest in the franchise in terms of the games it contains, but it's certainly the weakest in terms of structure. When playing through the game for the first time, the story is completely unwelcome and just gets in the way. The lack of remixes in the first half of the game spoils the flow that worked well in the previous games. The guardian challenges feel like a waste of coins that would otherwise be used on unlockables. And actually navigating the menus is a pain. If you want to just quickly play specific games, you have to go to the Cafe, scroll along to the far right, and then access games from there.
It has the best replay value of any Rhythm Heaven game, but the first playthrough is the most tedious.
It's unfortunately >$45 with tax in Canada. Same reason I haven't yet bought Picross 3D 2 or the new Phoenix Wright.

Received my copy a couple of days ago and have been playing pretty much non stop. Replaying songs getting those rhythm stars and clearing some songs with a Perfect song is great. Really surprised how much the production value has improved with this game over the previous two (and assuming also the GBA game), it's really great that this is a budget title because it really feels rather premium with all the improvements with the same price tag.
Side note, the 3D effect while nothing special is really fun.

What's the max level for the goat in the café, and does it keep giving you new things every 10 levels?
gave me trouble on a challenge train where it was 5 or six games and the last one was that, with no mistakes allowed. Specifically when they fire 4 arrows near the end
Air rally 2 is one of the best songs in the game. It puts me in a good mood instantly.
And, yeah, for the next entry, I don't know what they could add that could justify a new one. Maybe double down on the remix side of things? An Osu vs Rhythm Tengoku cross over?

More stages and no story mode, and I'm in.
If they make another one, they need to ditch the fucking stupid system that only allows you to go for a Perfect at specific random times. If I clear a stage without making a mistake at ANY point, that should yield a Perfect.

Yeah it's really weird because this one is the very last minigame that I just can't beat with a gold medal. Really annoying!

I'm a huge rhythm heaven fan, but the story is just getting in the way. How does this continue through the store as I just started.

All the games you play show up in the Cafe, in the Museum. I don't know if they show up before you play them since I did the whole story first (and it takes way too long imo, especially if you go for Skill Stars on the first clear). Then there are extra games you can buy in the Cafe store that aren't in the story. You get the currency for those by doing Perfect Campaigns and challenges.

I wonder if Nintendo is planning a WarioWare Best +. I mean Ko Takeuchi basically has to be drawing one game or the other.

I'm coming around on the story. It's a little intrusive but it's cute and funny enough.
Also Loveless is a rock revelation. Nice to see a fellow mbv fan.

As of February 1st, there's a Club Nintendo reward (80 gold coins) that gets you 30% off of this game. I've been considering ever since. I just can't quite pull the trigger for some reason.
Of course I only have 70!

You're never going to get it with a better discount than that, and there's sod all else to spend those coins on, so get to it.
