This title, known as part of the acclaimed 'Rhythm Paradise' (also known internationally as 'Rhythm Heaven') series, promises a fresh groove-driven experience for both new players and rhythm game veterans.
The announcement was accompanied by a brand new gameplay video shared today across the Nintendo Today! app, the official Nintendo Switch Facebook page, and the Nintendo of Europe X account.
Developed and published by Nintendo, 'Rhythm Paradise Groove' continues the franchise’s tradition of whimsical, addictive rhythm challenges.
