Nintendo have brought out the big guns in promoting their new rhythm game. Beyonce Knowles has appeared in TV ads for ‘Rhythm Heaven’, Nintendo’s stylus-controlled foray into the ever popular music (and rhythm) game market.
The singing starlet is no stranger to music video games and has professed her love for Guitar Hero in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:
“I like all the Wii games. Love Guitar Hero. This reminds me a little bit of a portable Guitar Hero, which is great, because I don’t want to carry around a big guitar! Growing up, I liked Tetris. I even like BrickBreaker on the BlackBerry.”
Rhythm Heaven utilises an unique control scheme whereby players either tap, slide, flick or hold the stylus in time with the rhythm. The game has yet to receive a release date in Australia, and may retail under the title Rhythm Paradise – its British title.
