The series actually started on the GBA in Japan, and, instead of tapping and flicking a touchscreen, you simply pressed the A and B buttons to the rhythm of the game. Little did most people know that Rhythm Heaven on the DS was not the first game of its kind. At its heart it was a rhythm game, but on the surface you had martial artists deflecting bombs, aliens playing space soccer, robots being built in a factory, and more. The game had players tapping and sliding your stylus across the screen to the beat of a song while outrageous scenarios played out in the background.
Three years ago, a game called Rhythm Heaven came out for the Nintendo DS.
