Times like this make me glad I have a Japanese N3DS.
Interesting they are going to rework the DS touch games to use buttons.
Also yay June, I have a game to play!
Edit: I hope Bon Odori is chosen as one of the games. Wrestler and Frogs makes me happy.

I'm worried if it's coming over for an English release
It probably will, but it's not like Rhythm Heaven has ever had quick localization. It's been almost a year between Japan and international releases each time.

I remember reading sometime ago that this one had all the games from previous versions plus new ones. Is that what it is or is it just a selection of "the best" with new ones?

Ugh, why hasn't this been announced for the west yet 
Shouldn't be too much trouble to bring over, right?

There is a LOT that goes into the localization resulting in a ton of changes for these, but thankfully the wait is usually worth it.
and there's some misses but we brush those under the rug

to be fair I feel like the DS release is the one with iffy localization, Frog Hop aside
Wii localization was top notch

Time to listen to the complete Soundtrack of all three games.
Again.
Also I REALLY hope this comes over to the west.
Can't live without my Rhythm Paradise fix
I couldn't care less about Nintendo rerecording the songs into whatever language they desire. They could just leave them in Japanese for all I care. Although they did an EXCELLENT job with the German DS version and the English Wii version.

This will probably be localised considering that the other Rhythm Heaven games sold pretty decently in the west.
I expect it to be at E3 to beef up their conference.

I'd be very surprised.
Nintendo tried two times, one of each with a massive ad campaign with an A++ list celebrity amd it still bombed, then they tried again with a low key budget release for the Wii game and it bombed even harder. Can't blame them, hopefully they'll at least release it digitally as a budget title.
It sure as hell wouldn't work as a $30 retail release.
Thank god the best in the series is region free and we got the other 2 anyway.
Same, considering just importing this Summer honestly. It wouldn't be bad to have more purchases to justify my Japanese 3DS >_>.

they're delaying the english reveal so they can announce it alongside the chorus kids dlc for smash
I like the way you think.

I'm just crossing my fingers that maybe the localisation will happen just because it's quite easy. Most of the songs and levels will have English versions anyway, and the menus aren't too complex. Bringing it over as an eShop title for $30 or something should be profitable quite easily.
I hope.

Fever didn't get its localization announced until a month before the game came out in Japan. The first localization trailer was released at E3, which very well may be the case here as well.

I feel like these games always come out late in a hardware cycle and results in a weird catch 22. Have to be released to fill out release schedules, but a lot of people have already moved on leading to it "flopping." As much as I'd like a physical dual audio release, I'll take whatever we can get here.

It's not just a best of though, there will be 30 brand new levels along with the old ones. It's basically a whole new game with some extra older content thrown in.

Oh also seems like the game has a lil official site now too.
Shows some screenshots of new games and has the footage without people talking over it, but that's about it. The text at the bottom is virtually identical to what has been said in the Directs.
edit: Trying to translate the bit about touch controls from here. If I'm not mistaken, it says you have the option to use touch controls, but there's no flicking and you can't hold the 3DS horizontally?

I might be able to stomach a digital-only release of this in NA, since it IS mostly remixes of older RH games. Same with the Ace Attorney Trilogy.
Would still prefer physical though.

There hasn't been a good WarioWare game since Twisted so it's no big deal if there isn't one.
Smooth Moves was absolutely amazing multiplayer.

Importers: Looks like the game comes with a "microfiber pouch" through Amazon.co.jp. Not sure if there are any other retailer exclusives, but the Amazon bonus edition costs the same as the regular one so just a heads up! It's the one I preordered.

So, the most recent edition of Famitsu has a spread on this game with a bunch of new details. I don't really have time to do any translation, and I'm sure that someone who can do a much better job than I will have one ready soon, but at first glance, some of the returning games we didn't already know about that are featured include Fillbots, Figure Fighter, Airboarder, Exhibition Match, Shoot em Up, Rabbit Jump, Sneaky Spirits, Rhythm Rally, Power Calligraphy, and Dog Ninja. Also, it seems that all scoring in the game will be more transparent, similar to Fever's 2-player mode, with a specific score being given and each rank having a score threshold you have to meet.
I'll work on the rest of the details later today if nobody else does, I guess.
