FAQ:
Q: Is this game going to be localized? If so, when?
A: The big question on everyone's mind! I wish I could say that the game is decidedly coming West, but as of yet, there's no confirmation. However, I can say, personally, that I'm nearly certain the game will be coming Westward next year, if not this year. Just keep your ears open and watch this space for more info as it comes.
Q: I don't want to wait for a localization, but I don't have a Japanese 3DS! Is there anything I can do?
A: This thread may be of interest to you.
Q: How friendly is the game to people who don't understand Japanese?
A: Based on previous games in the series, it should be very friendly, though it may take some fumbling around in practice to figure out the instructions for each game. Still, plenty of people here should be happy to help should you need assistance translating anything. Hopefully, I can post some translated resources once we have menus and whatnot available.
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.
Q: Which games from previous versions are returning?
A: Here's a list of all that have been shown thus far. I'll try to keep it updated once the game releases.
Q: Whoa, this returning game has new music, what gives? Where's the old track?
A: Patience, friend! All returning games have their original music. Just keep playing.
Q: I've played, like, a million games, but haven't found a single remix! What gives?
A; Keep playing!
