Nintendo has confirmed that Rhythm Heaven Groove will be launching for Nintendo Switch on 2nd July, bringing its musical minigame shenanigans to the hybrid consoles.
Theyâve also shared a new gameplay mini preview, showing off a kitchen-themed game with âSlice N Dice Kitchenâ.
This is the first new game since Rhythm Heaven Megamix in 2015 (which was a bit of a best of collection for 3DS), with Rhythm Heaven Groove continuing the seriesâ traditional partnerships with Nintendo and TNX co-developing the game.
The gameplay is a barmy riff on the rhythm action genre, dropping you into a variety of scenarios and asking you to press buttons in time with the beat and the action on screen. Instead of having blocks or buttons gradually descending down the screen, a la Guitar Hero or Beat Sabre, you have to pick out the timing from whatâs happening, so it could be catching incoming fruit and veg, skipping to a rope, jumping through a hoop at the end of a long line of characters, and plenty more. In a lot of ways, itâs a musical cousin to the WarioWare series for Nintendo.
