Nintendo was able to get away with releasing simple games like this at retail prices as it helped build up the casual games market over the last seven years. An expanded edition could have been released for 1200 points (about $12) through the Wii Shop channel. If the 3DS is going to continue to compete with phones and tablets, it needs a robust library of affordable, high-quality downloadable games just like this. Then it should be released as a downloadable game through the eShop for Nintendo 3DS. I think that's a mistake (at least when it comes to phones and tablets), but it's one not likely to be fixed any time soon. Of course, Nintendo doesn't make games for competing platforms. I'd be surprised if it sold more than a million copies as a boxed game for Wii. If it becomes a hit, it could end up selling a 10 million copies (or more) through these and other digital distribution channels. We might drop as much as $10 or $15 on it if we discovered it on Xbox Live or Steam. Realistically, it's the sort of game for which we gladly pay pocket change if found on Apple's App store. It's fun, but it's also short, simplistic, and looks like it was made by a small group of guys who cut costs by doing the visual design themselves. Rhythm Heaven Fever possesses none of these traits. That's the only way most gamers can justify the expense. That means lush visuals, longevity, storytelling, and a level of user interface complexity beyond what's possible with a touch screen.
People who pay big bucks for boxed games want something that they can't find on their mobile devices for just a few bucks. Rhythm Heaven Fever is priced and packaged like the latter, but has all the hallmarks of the former. So what's the problem? It's just not worth the $30 Nintendo is asking.įor better or worse, we now live in a world in which there are two types of games: Those that cost $1 to $15 (downloadable games for tablets, phones, and home platforms) and those that cost $30 to $60 (boxed games for consoles, PCs, and dedicated handheld game machines). Still, these issues hardly matter once you enter a Zen state, rhythmically high-fiving the paws of monkeys marking the seconds on a giant watch face.
Plus, the graphics are often no more complex or compelling than the drawings in an off-brand Dollar Store colouring book. Some games require more precision than others, and the lack of an onscreen performance meter means we don't know how close or far we are to earning a passing grade. I'll admit there are times when it can be frustratingly challenging. Don't be surprised if you find yourself humming the hooks from some of its better ditties. Plus, the music – a mix of retro digital tracks and corny Japanese-flavoured pop – is devilishly catchy. Rhythm Heaven Fever can be satisfying in a way that only the best, purest game experiences are.
When you're in the zone juggling widgets or slicing shadowy demons, There's no narrative and no grand objective, save perhaps to deliver as many medal-winning performances as possible (medals grant access to bonus modes, "rhythm toys," and musical tracks that we can play in a virtual café). We unlock one quick and whacky rhythm challenge after another until there's nothing left to unlock. Pass this game and you'll gain access to a seesaw challenge that involves tapping a button each time a stickman lands on his end of the board. Beat this challenge and you'll find yourself screwing heads onto robots on an assembly line by pressing two buttons in time with a different tune. It starts with a golf game that has players tapping the A-button on their remotes to hit balls tossed them in predictable cadence by a pair of apes. It's a collection of about 50 short and simple rhythm games each of which involves just one or two buttons. Come on man.Rhythm Heaven Fever, a brilliant new tempo tester for the Wii, highlights the challenge that Nintendo and other established game makers are currently facing with the rise of cheap downloadable games for phones, tablets, and other platforms.
