Rhythm Heaven Groove and the Switch's Last Dance
About this episode
Adam discusses the new release Rhythm Heaven Groove, highlighting its gameplay and design quirks.
Another week, another new release, and this one's a pleasant surprise. Adam digs into Rhythm Heaven Groove , the first new entry in the series in over a decade, and finds a WarioWare -style collection of musical minigames that nails the feel even when the hardware fights it. Why the catchy, pick-up-and-play design is exactly the itch it sets out to scratch, the audio-latency quirk that makes your choice of headphones matter more than it should, and why forty dollars is the number that seals the recommendation. A short one this week, but an easy one to love.
