Forget the keynote! (Well, maybe not Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars). Nintendo just announced on its press site that Rhythm Tengoku is coming to North America! Only, here it will be called Rhythm Heaven instead. As cheesy as the title is, it's only fitting.
We suggest now that you hold on those imports. Even though Nintendo didn't give us the satisfaction of a release date, we can't imagine the game taking all that long to head to our shores.
To play, you hold the DS sideways and use the stylus to tap, flick, or slide. You can expect Rhythm Heaven to include quirky and charming characters, as well as music from the Japanese composer TSUNKU. Also, make sure to check out new screenshots in our gallery.

Ah yes, I know :). It just sounds cheesier in English than Japanese.

This is the best announcement so far today... Sad, but it still makes me feel a bit better.

WTH? That homebrew game that you guys were showing off here last week looks much better than this. Filling up robots with liquid? Conducting a 3 person stick figure chorus? What is this crap? It should stay in Japan.

In the GBA version it was all instrumental (only two stages had music with vocals) so there's nothing to Americanize.
