Nintendo has added Rhythm Heaven Groove to the North America Nintendo Download lineup, publishing the latest entry in the long-running Rhythm Heaven series for Nintendo Switch.
Announced as part of the weekly eShop update, Rhythm Heaven Groove arrives on July 2 with a $39.99 suggested retail price and a free demo available now on the Nintendo eShop.
Developer and publisher Nintendo describe Rhythm Heaven Groove as a music-driven collection of rhythm minigames that ask players to time button presses to the beat.
Gameplay examples highlighted in the Nintendo Download include tasks such as catching flying vegetables, timing interactions to bounce fruit, and coordinating actions against musical cues.
The title continues the series' focus on short, catchy minigames backed by original music.
The Switch release supports both solo play and local multiplayer.
Players can team up with up to three friends on a single Nintendo Switch system for chaotic, couch-based multiplayer sessions that blend cooperative and competitive rhythm challenges.
A free demo on the Nintendo eShop allows players to sample the core mechanics before purchase.
Nintendo Life, which covered the new download update, encouraged readers to participate in its weekly poll and to share their picks and impressions in the comments section.
