It’s the wildly popular follow-up to the Gameboy Advance game-Rhythm Tengoku-and is set to hit American soil on April 5th along with Nintendo’s DSi.
And now, apparently Beyonce is getting in on the gaming action.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Beyonce confesses to being a fan of Guitar Hero [who knew?] and that she “make[s] time” for gaming.
No one can deny the “star power” that Beyonce [and her song] brings to the DSi and Rythym Heaven’s US launch and since Rythym Heaven [I keep wanting to type Rythym Nation!] is a very “Japanese” game, maybe the endorsement of sorts will expose a larger market to funky/cool little game.
Then again, I was hooked after watching a couple of Japanese trailers on YouTube.com. Seriosly. Who can’t love the game after watching someone toss some turnips? Love it!
