Tracking new VGM releases since 2022

Rhythm Heaven Groove makes its debut on Nintendo Music

Rhythm Heaven Groove makes its debut on Nintendo Music


It is the big Nintendo release of the week: Rhythm Heaven Groove (known as Rhythm Paradise Groove in Europe) is finally out on Nintendo Switch. To celebrate, the Nintendo Music app has added its first seven tracks from a soundtrack once again crafted by the mastermind behind the franchise, the charismatic Tsunku♂. Stream it now on Nintendo Music.

Expect the usual bright, upbeat, and synth-heavy tracks that instantly put a smile on your face. As a reminder, the unique twist of the series is that it teaches you the tempo through the characters' actions on screen, rather than just having you blindly tap along to notes sliding across the interface. It is the perfect music game for anyone who thinks they have no rhythm, and you can jump in right now via a free demo available on the eShop.

As usual with Nintendo, we will likely have to wait a few months before getting the full Rhythm Heaven Groove soundtrack. In fact, none of the OSTs from the previous games in the franchise are currently available on Nintendo’s streaming service. Who knows? Maybe tomorrow's weekly drop will fix that.
