Rhythm Tengoku, which translates as Rhythm Heaven, was unvealed during E3 and barely received any attention until now.

Developed by the Made in Wario team, the game is a combination of over 40 rhythm-based mini-games that last 2~3 minutes each. Much like the Made in Wario game series, Rhythm Tengoku is played by a simple push of the button, will feature end level mini-bosses and it’ll be possible to acquire medals after clearing stages, which will get you some nifty rhythm toys. The game is said to be very strict about timing, and you’ll be told how much rhythm sense you have at the end of a song.

Examples of mini-games are:

Karate House - You have to adjust to the rhythm to hit flies with your fist and fill up a gauge meter;

Rhythm Dehairing - A farmer is troubled by hair growing on his vegetables and you have to use tweezers and timing to pull out the hair growth.

Yeah, funky.

Rhythm Tengoku is scheduled for an August 3rd release date in Japan and no announcement has been made yet about a possible US release. Set phasers to “import copy”.
