Ive always loved rhythm games, and I usually have around one obsession a year where I will play a rhythm game once a day for months a at a time. Im sure there are other rhythm heads out there and they are kind of an increasingly rare genre on newer consoles. The reason im posting this is because Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone came out this week and Ive always kind of looked at those games from afar. the new one was a massive bundle of arcade + console releases so I tried it out and Im kind of completely hooked. theres so many genres and songs and customization, its overwhelming atm. its also the first rhythm game I can remember where Ive actually been distractedby wanting to watch the backghround music videos because they are all completely original and completely insane. other rhythm games on currently consoles I can recall: PS4 - Amplitude (i played this for a bit and thought it was ok but the soundtrack wasn't super great) - ROck Band 4 (i was huge into rock band 2 on wii but I dont really have the floor space to accomodate the drums anymore otherwise I would be playing this daily) 3DS - Final Fantasy Theatrhythm (my last obsession, absolutely massive game with so many amazing songs) - Rhythm Heaven Megamix (basically every rhythm heaven song ever in one collection. super fun and challenging) Vita - has a lot of japanese only rhythm games that will never leave the country because of licensing stuff. I havent tried any myself PS4 is also getting a parappa and patapon release this year at some point. So what rhythm games have you enjoyed? Id also like to try out more recent ones that Im not aware of

I was playing 3DS the other day and remember how much I loved EBA and was wondering if there was ever anything similar to that released since. Also, Guitaroo Man is a PS2 classic. One of my favorite rhythm games ever.

Harmonix made the games that got me into this genre. Frequency, Amplitude, then later on Rock Band etc. I don't play them much anymore but I'll always hold Harmonix in high regard even if the new Amplitude was crappy. EBA & FF Theatrhythm are must haves for 3D gamers. Shame we won't ever see Dragon Quest Theatrhythm. Also when I was a kid I traded Jade Cocoon 2 for Gitaroo Man and it was the best choice I've ever made.

It's weird to think that there was a time period where plastic instrument games became so ubiquitous that you'd see people playing them at literally every party near a college campus And drat, that's a come up.

The stuff they did to the new guitar hero looks kinda neat, with the live playlists that you just drop in/out of. But again I dont think I can handle another generation of plastic instruments. the one series that could get me to pick up a new peripheral would be a DJ Hero 3 release.

I thought about checking out the new rock band or whatever but instead I bought a cheap Fender and downloaded Rocksmith. It's kinda cool if you combine it with other more traditional musical exercises

HarmoKnight is not a very good rhythm game.

Um Jammer Lammy and the first Parappa are must plays for any rhythm gamers. Also Rhythm Thief for the 3DS is really fun and has a ton of cool rhythm mini games even though it has a few duds in the mix. But yeah, Gitaroo Man is incredible and the one time I played 4-player mode was truly a lifetime gaming highlight

If you're ok buying carts the sequels been in a buy 1 get 1 deal at best buy a few times. Also you don't need the first game, the second one has almost everything from the first one included

Though I had to go twice because they gave me the original game on accident. I think someone traded the original in as Curtain Call and got away with it.

Thinking about playing the endless setlist with my buddies in rock band 2 and 3 gives me nostalgic gamer feels... we went through so many cheap lovely drum sets

It's the one thing the tutorial doesn't really cover. If I hold it too long does it drop the score down to that "max" value it shows? So I need to like hold longer than I think I can but not too long for max points

So I need to like hold longer than I think I can but not too long for max points no the max is a bonus for holding it that long, you can let go then because you wont gain more points also note that like if you are holding triangle, and then a circle hold comes up, when you hold both it becomes a double hold and when you let go of EITHER of them, it breaks the hold for both

Before diving into this I assumed it was wall to wall jpop but they get goofy with the genres. I especially like the one pop punk song I played where Miku is mean mugging the camera and throwing sheet music to the ground because she's so pissed lol

I guess I should cave and buy a Miku game at some point. I also just remembered a steam game I played a lot of because it was entirely based on your own music library. The game itself was like an asteroids style thing.

Beat Hazard, that was it: http://store.steampowered.com/app/49600/ Not a rhythm game at all but it was a nice add-on to a bundle I got back in the day
