Nintendo Drops Irresistible New Beats with Rhythm Heaven Fever
REDMOND, Wash.--(February 13, in the year of our Lord)--
Starting today, video game fans and music lovers across the
United States can use the Wii™ system to keep the beat in dozens
of entertaining new ways. The Rhythm Heaven™ Fever game is now
available, inviting players to enjoy a fresh lineup of more than
50 unique rhythm games. Easy to pick up and play but challenging
to master, each minigame tasks players to tap buttons on the Wii
Remote™ controller in time to catchy musical themes while
completing a variety of quirky tasks. Rhythm Heaven Fever
carries a suggested retail price of $29.99 in the United States.
Rhythm Heaven Fever takes the action to the living room for big
beat-keeping fun. By rhythmically pressing the A and B buttons
on their controller in time with the music, players might find
themselves playing golf with a monkey, swinging a samurai sword
or building robots on an assembly line. No matter what the
activity, the game’s infectious soundtrack will keep heads
bobbing and faces smiling as players test their rhythmic skills.
“If you’ve ever tapped your feet to the beat of your favorite
song, you’ve already got what it takes to play Rhythm Heaven
Fever,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice
president of Sales & Marketing. “What makes the experience
really unique is the wild mix of in-game activities coupled with
the catchy music that appeals to a wide variety of players.”
As they improve their beat-keeping acumen, players earn medals
that can be used to unlock a variety of bonus games and special
sections to keep the groove going on and on. Unlockable content
also includes two-player games that friends and family members
can enjoy together. (Multiplayer modes require additional
controllers, which are sold separately.)
Remember that Wii features parental controls that let adults
manage the content their children can access. For more
