From Hello! Online:
Tsunku♂, our Hello!Project's exclusive producer is expanding his horizon internationally with the debut of Rhythm Heaven (as known as DS Rhythm Tengoku Gold in Japan) for the Nintendo DS hand-held system. Released on April 5 of 2009, the game entered the U.S. market shelves and received a highly positive reaction from the gaming population. This music rhythm based game was co-developed by the Nintendo R&D1 team and TXN (the company that Tsunku himself 'owns').
Rhythm Heaven, or DS Rhythm Tengoku Gold is actually a sequel to the game Rhythm Tengoku (released Aug 8th, 2006) for Gameboy Advance which Nintendo SPD with the help of Tsunku as a lead developer. But since Rhythm Tengoku was only released within Japan and never internationally, the sequel, Rhythm Heaven, becomes the first time Tsunku (and this game series) enters the worldwide gaming industry.
This sequel game expands from the GBA button controls to the DS touchscreen gameplay and it contains a very simple concept that requires the player to Tap, Flick, Hold or Slide in correlation to the music and animation of the game. Unfortunately for us as Hello!Project fans, there does not seem to be music in there taken from the H!P song collection (seems like NiceGirlProject fans can get something out of the JPN ver though). However, for the gamers who owns a DS, this game is definitely worth checking-out.
