I don't believe so.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Rayark has ever done physical.

are you in US, UK or elsewhere? Availability can depend on which country you're in, for example I have a FoneM8 one but I don't think they have those in the US. hop on over to the Switch Protection Thread, its full of recs and info
Don't think so, think Shovel Knight was a misprice :/
Oh yeah, I was more just shaking my head at the fact that that's the exchange rate, not that it was priced that way, if that makes sense. Like CAD$35 is crazy but that's what it is now.
Ok. Not that paying 21 for a digital music/rhythm game with 116 songs is all that horrible a deal even with the uncertainties of digital distribution, but music games is just one thing that I want to have physical copies especially badly for to future-proof my access to them, since licensing crap can cause these things to disappear from digital storefronts or at least makes it far less likely for future platforms to have these available even in the case of digital b/c carrying over some purchases to Super Switch or whatever the next Nintendo platform will be.

I use 2. Just my index fingers but you can use as many as you want. I haven't played many (if at all) that require more than 2 though.
Like someone else mentiones, use your keys when you get them. The whole process to unlock avatars is so slow and tedious. You really don't want to sit on 100 keys, trying to unlock things.
This is my most played Switch game so far. I'm trying to get into Zelda but rhythm games always suck me in.
I need a better way to play. Gets uncomfortable with my neck staring down.

ah ok! thanks for the heads up. Yeah I'm in the US, so I'll look for some alternatives.

I watched a single gameplay yesterday, and I was sold. I like messing around with keyboards and drum machines, so this looks way up my alley. I am really looking forward to trying it this weekend.
It must really suck to have missed out on Future Tone, too. In almost every case of a game getting deleted from a storefront I am pretty sure that those that made the purchase were still able to re-download. Sure the servers won't last an eternity but 21 euros is really a drop in the bucket - eventually it'll get hacked/cracked and if you're really worried about by then you can download an archive copy.
Frankly I'm more worried about the longevity of the Switch hardware with its non-replaceable battery (without disassembly) and non-transferrable saves. Still, not gonna stop me from downloading what I already know from my phone is a great and very fun music game!
Keep them on - as long as you aren't hitting your switch like a hammer with your fingers you aren't going to break anything. Plus you tap at the bottom of the screen, where the pressure you add is already at a point where you are putting the least possible amount of stress on the rails.

try it on your phone and if you like it get it on switch. to buy all the songs on the mobile version is like $80+.
thanks
But can you read the OP?
Getting all those songs on your phone costs a lot more than 25 dollars.
That is completely up to you, but I prefer playing with my pointer fingers with the console on a table.
I play it like phone rhythm games (and Vita). I take off the joycons and use my thumbs. I kinda have to stretch to reach the middle but this is how I pay Deemo, Cytus, and LoveLive. For more difficult songs putting it on a table and using your index fingers might be needed.
Ah, that wasn't clear on mobile. Might be clearer if they are under a section like the rest of the content. Great OP either way though, feels all official!
Certain songs on harder difficulties become much simpler if you use more than two fingers. I've found myself using four fingers a lot of the time, sometimes six depending on how complex the chart is.
I was stuck on the opening intro for its duration, pressing all the buttons and wondering why nothing was happening. Forgot it was a touch screen 🙄
Glad I saw this OT, didn't know the game was coming to NA as well.
Won't be buying too very soon due to a ton of other games that have eaten my money, but definitely looking forward to when I can make the purchase! Love Deemo, and this looks highly alike.
The Switch Exclusive song linked on page 1 looks really fun to play until the end. That just looked like dumb "throw notes to make hard." Do hope that's not a reoccurring thing with the charts.

Just unlocked all the avatars. You're given at least 1 new one every time you use a key. Fairly simple.
Wonder if they'll introduce another purpose for keys. You'll keep earning them through challenges but no way to use them.
Here are some songs (musically) that I like:
Warp Drive
Yggdrasil
Time Phase Pt.1
Revival
Refel
Popotnik
Last Escape
My least favorite challenges are the ones that ask you to play on easy but when the songs sound awesome it isn't too bad, lol.
I think this song has the highest combo out of all songs. Many many jumps and it's continuous. Definitely tests your finger stamina lol

Deemo was released physically, but that doesn't mean much when there's a ton of DLC that came out post-release.
Time Phase is really a standout track in this game, because it actually makes the most of jazz in a rhythm game (changing up the selection of genres and challenging you with time signature changes). Deemo embraced jazz to a much bigger extent, but mostly with slower, sleepier songs.

That's pretty much the same as my favorites.
I don't think Wilt has as many notes as some songs on 16 (try Run Lads Run and see what it does to your finger), but it makes you engage with the rhythm of the song exceptionally well.
And there's The Longest Night, for a hardcore endurance-fest starting right on hard.
been playing a little, im glad I bought it. its fun, gameplay is a nice twist from regular tapping. I mean it's no Ouendan but few things are.
My biggest complaint right now is how sometimes it's hard to tell what you're playing the beat to. sometimes the notes are hard to pick apart or they switch between instruments mid tapping and it's difficult to follow, i assume this will change with repeat plays of a song though

No, you just get a shit score.

Which is great cause sometimes I just relax and listen to the music
Ok this game is incredible and even without a stand the screen tilts rather nicely, play it on a mat if you're worried about joy-cons but no need to apply slot of force so no problem this way.
Loving this game so far, an option to make a playlist of favourite songs would be nice as there are so many or some sorting options.
If you like music games, you'll love this. Just as good as DJ Max Techinica, music is decent too.

Run Lads Run...LOL at that one part.
Interesting how The Longest Night is a 15 on Hard but a 13 on Special. The hardest "Hard" song in the game.
I saw 2 other songs where the Hard difficulty is rated higher than Special: Pretty Dog (13/12) and Keep You Safe (13/12)
It affects the speed at which the notes fall down.
Deemo got a physical release in Asia.
Yeah, I dunno why they are taking so long to arrive. My order says that they're expected to ship on Monday though, finally.

My issue with playing on a Hori stand is that while the Switch stays sturdy on the stand, the stand itself is susceptible to moving. And that still poses a dilemma if you're not nimble and delicate on your touchscreen.
I'm using the small wiiu stand which works really well, even works on uneven surfaces like a bed
Mobile version also requires a permanent online connection. Amirite?

And you have to pay for unlock keys, for the most part.

This game probably has the best value out of any of the games released on switch atm specially if you are a fan of the genre
