"The new Rhythm Paradise game we showed you in our Financial Results Briefing in January will be available this summer. I tried out a near-final version of the game, and felt that this Rhythm Paradise, playable with a TV monitor, never loses the uniqueness of the original Rhythm Paradise. In contrast to Wii Remote Plus Variety [aka Wii Play: Motion] I introduced before, this game is intentionally designed to be played only with buttons."
When Rhythm Heaven Wii was announced last year, I was sure the folks at Nintendo were going to force us to play it using motion controls--much like they forced us to use the touchscreen while playing the DS iteration. As such, it's a relief to hear that this second sequel will instead take the series back to the button-pressing roots of the GameBoy Advance original.

That's brilliant news! Gosh...I can't imagine trying to waggle for minutes at a time without wanting to break something...
I'm sure they could have made waggle work for *some* of the mini-games, but certainly not all of them. Plus, the GBA original was sooooo much more accessible thanks to the use of buttons (rather than touchscreen), IMO...
Well, I'm excited to try it.
Here's hoping it comes to NA. Considering Nintendo of America's completely barren Wii schedule for the rest of the year, I think it may just happen...
