Nintendo has the perfect companion piece for that DSi you'll probably end up buying on April 5: Rhythm Heaven! Coincidentally, Rhythm Heaven will also be the best way to console yourself if you walk into a store and find DSi systems sold out. In either case, the rhythm microgame collection from the WarioWare team will be available in North America on April 5, exactly as "predicted" by retailers, and is compatible with all DS hardware models.
Nintendo is seemingly putting a lot of confidence in a very strange game by positioning it as the DSi's "launch title." This is an especially surprising move considering that Nintendo never released the Game Boy Advance predecessor, Rhythm Tengoku, in North America, despite its hit status in Japan.

Due to the fact that I don't have steady income, I won't be getting this quite yet. The only DS game im gonna get within the next few months is ChinaTown Wars. Otherwise I still have a bunch of Wii games I have to worry about being able to get.

Yay! I imported the original for GBA (found it on eBay but Play-Asia has a better price now) and it's already become my favorite game for the system. I urge everyone who likes WarioWare/Rhythm games/Both to check out Rhythm Heaven when it comes out.

I like the GBA game a lot better than this one, but for the record that big screenshot is from my favorite stage, so good work :)

"...Rhythm Heaven...is compatible with all DS hardware models."
That's a relief, seeing how having a DSi-exclusive will definitely boil my blood.

I've never gotten around to buying a DS lite. I will use a DS phat. :D
Maybe I'll pick up an DSi when it comes out.

I really dig that artwork of the love-potion mini-game , right here.
Since it's better resolution and art seen in the game, anyone know where I can find more art like this?
Might make for some nice wallpapers! ♥
