Reanimated Rhythm
I used to be driving within the automobile yesterday and far to my shock, the Wii’s Mii Channel music got here on the radio, sending me on an surprising, much-appreciated nostalgia journey. Really, nostalgia will not be the fitting phrase, because it implies wistfulness for a time once I was a youthful, happier particular person. The reality is, I wasn’t. It was the world that was a greater again then, whereas I used to be just about the identical (for higher or worse).
I imply, simply take a look at how a lot Nintendo has modified since then, particularly in terms of their relationship with music. Again within the late 2000s and earl 2010s, all their on-line outlets and varied apps used to got here inbuilt with their very own distinctive theme songs, and also you’d scarcely go greater than a yr or two with out the corporate releasing one thing from the Ouendan/Elite Beat Brokers, Wii Music, Jam with the Band, or in fact, Rhythm Heaven franchises. Final I heard, all these franchises are asleep or lifeless, and nothing that anybody has mentioned since has achieved a lot to reassure me in any other case.
Fortunately, followers of the collection are extra lively than ever. Living proof, this almost 20 minute lengthy animation that primarily works as an up to date, video model of the traditional Rhythm Heaven zine from just a few years again. Aside from just a few cameos from in any other case copywritten characters like Aku from Samurai Jack, Doom‘s Cacodemon, and the primary character from Minit, the artwork right here is comparatively indistinguishable from one thing you may even see from Nintendo correct, main many to confuse it with precise gameplay.
Hey Nintendo, in the event you can lend the Zelda license to high quality people are Brace Your self Video games, might you contemplate loaning Rhythm Heaven to those youngsters for an indie Change revival?
