Rhythm Heaven Groove and the Switch's Last Dance

Rhythm Heaven Groove and the Switch's Last Dance7 Jul8 min

<p>Another week, another new release, and this one&#39;s a pleasant surprise. Adam digs into <em>Rhythm Heaven Groove</em>, the first new entry in the series in over a decade, and finds a <em>WarioWare</em>-style collection of musical minigames that nails the feel even when the hardware fights it. Why the catchy, pick-up-and-play design is exactly the itch it sets out to scratch, the audio-latency quirk that makes your choice of headphones matter more than it should, and why forty dollars is the number that seals the recommendation. A short one this week, but an easy one to love.</p>
