I'm not, unfortunately. Looks really cool, but I can't imagine there being a cabinet anywhere close to where I live!

Completely nostalgia talking, but PaRappa the Rapper and Um Jammer Lammy.

I have a lot of romantic memories with DDR, but my most treasured times were spent on a little opensource game (actually an engine) called Stepmania.

Mods, don't @ me. I'm not linking to a competitor.

[PhrawzT]

Taiko no Tatsujin will always be my favorite, especially the PSP and Vita games.

I suck at most of rhythm games, Boom Boom Rocket was the only one I could finish

Yeah, love me some Taiko. I've only played one of the Switch ones, and the version that's playable in Yakuza 5 though

All skill levels are welcome!
If anything, I'm getting worse at rhythm games as I get older

Are rhythm JRPGs too weird to belong?

If it's rhythm, it's welcome!

So, I once downloaded a game demo? called Nocturne: Prelude.

That looks pretty interesting. I think there are two demos by the looks of it? One from 2020, and one from 2024, with the full game release planned for next year.

For games with home releases it's Project Diva MegaMix, Guitar Hero/Rockband games, Fortnite Festival and Taiko no Tatsujin. For arcade releases it's Gitadora, Sound Voltex and Taiko no Tatsujin (again lol). Sucks to lose rhythm games on my local arcades after Covid which is what got me really deep into Project Diva.

I've never seen a rhythm arcade game cabinet in the wild! All the rhythm games I've played, which include a number of your mentions, were home releases.

I always wanted to play the follow-up to the K-on! rhythm game, but that was a Japanese arcade exclusive

Perks of living in asia I guess. I also forgot to so Jubeat on arcade releases which was another one in my rotation when arcades still had rhythm games in my area. I've always wanted to try maimai DX but I gotta go out of town for that.

For K-ON! just hope some wizards can make a viable PC version working since they archived the arcade files.

Yeah, Asia would have a lot more stuff like that. Plus, I don't really live in or near any big cities, so maybe there are some elsewhere in my country?

I hope so too! I've looked, but I haven't found any archives of it online yet.

Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! 1&2 and Elite Beat Agents.

Let's see...

-beatmania IIDX. I used to play it a lot and it was my favorite for many years, you get a wide range of music, fully keysounded and with weird videos, what more could you ask for? Sadly nowadays I can't connect with it at all, mostly because the songlist focused too much on edgy electronic music, but also because my imported ps2 controller is in a poor condition and good iidx controllers are super expensive. Yet it's still the first rhythm game that comes to my mind and I enjoy a lot all the ps2 games as well as the original beatmanias on mame and ps1.

-Taiko no Tatsujin in the wii era was another one I was really obsessed with, even got to import a tatacon. Finished all 5 wii games and all 3 ds games.

-Drummania/GITADORA. It's the only one that I kinda still follow in some way, it's very intimidating at first, but really fun when you actually get into it. I had to make a setup at home with a yamaha dtx, but it was totally worth it.

-DDR. It was a lot of fun and I have great memories of the PS2 era DDR with all the weird characters and music.

-Groove coaster deserves a mention too, if only because it felt really unique early on, and honestly my favorite mobile rhythm game.

Nothing more satisfying than a 5* osu gameplay, in my opinion, so i'd rate osu as the best rhythm game (though frankly I didn't test many others, Stepmania too perhaps is pretty decent).


(Harder than it looks and I play with mouse, I only play anime beatmaps to farm sometimes, generally I don't play anything associated with that otherwise. Nevermind the skin, I changed it since then).

 

[Dyne]

I don't really play this genre much at all.
I guess the first two Guitar Hero games, if that counts. I played those quite a bit when they were new

Of course it counts. That was a god-tier game, learned about Dragonforce existing as a band because of it (Through The Fire And Flames ). Memories...

Has to be Pump It Up: Exceed and Exceed 2 for me. Exceed i remember being a good home console port on the PS2 and Exceed 2 I had a blast with in arcades.
