Switchch has become a go-to program for all genres of music, and the rhythmic act is no different. You can't attend rhythm games in the system, and even though you might have, you'll have to move to some kind of beat, because that's for now.
Groove Coaster: Wai Wai Party !!!! is an example of the thirteenth entry of Nintendo's console, and while these days it takes something special to stand out for its countless peers, something special indeed what it offers: and we're not just saying its annoying use of the four marks they call them.
For those unfamiliar with the series, Groove Coaster a mobile and arcade series that first launched in 2011. After three phone games, five arcade installations and the release of Steam last year, this Groove Coaster & # 39; s console switch, and well worth the wait – or it may not initially look screen-based.
As the name implies certain points, Taito's action on the rhythmic scene has a rollercoaster theme to it. That's a little bit, remember; & # 39; track & # 39; a single, single-line line that runs throughout the song and goes through a variety of twists, turns, twists, snares and other pretty things designed to make the fact that it's just as exciting a line as possible.
In the meantime, your icon – a small avatar that starts as an enemy from Space Invaders but it can be changed to one of the 100's unlocked – following a line course, encountering a bunch of rhythm-based icons along the way. It kind of does without saying but your job is to make each icon by pressing the right button or moving the right stick as your avatar passes.
You can swear that you can do so much with the line, and in basic terms, you'll be right; but the game does a pretty good job of making sure each song has its own character. The background images are eye-catching (though not in a disturbing way), and some songs create different effects every time you start a note. Take a wonderful & # 39; USA & # 39; s beautiful song made by the Japanese boys band Da Pump and the dance version of Bubble Bobble theme; both have completely different visual styles here, without providing the same equipment.
One of the interesting things about Groove Coaster on the power switch is the way the game is flexible when it comes to your input selections. Normal strokes can be created by hitting any of the four directional buttons, any four face buttons or any shoulder button, or by moving one of the analogue rods. Multiple complex hits give you less choice, but you always have some options; or slide & # 39; instructions for the slide & # 39; where you have to move the rod to the opposite side can be made with the corresponding face buttons instead.
Which ultimately means Groove Coaster has one of the fastest conversion times you'll find in a rhythm game. This is not the same thing Guitar Hero when you have to spend time organizing your muscle memory so that when you see a certain color your brain all at once you know what to hold down: instead, in so many different ways to claim each type of note, you can spend most of your hours with the game finding it with pure emotion.
That doesn't mean it's easy, of course. Each track has four difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard and Master. Both Hard and Master offer a challenge that may have failed a few times, but it is unlikely that they will be beaten with enough exercise. It's safe to say, though, and getting an S + rating – by not losing a single note – to Master's difficulty in it all The song is a kind of feat that will be achieved by a few legends of the rhythm only.
There is one disappointing feature, however, that is not a game hack by any means but it will still include finalists who like to try those perfect schools. Each song has a bunch of & # 39; AAD-LIB & # 39 ;, notes that are hidden notes that don't appear on the screen. If you can guess where they are and press the button on the right, you'll cause them to kiss and add them to your combo.
While these notes are completely optional and you won't lose your combo if you miss one, the only way to get a & # 39; Full Chain & # 39; this song hits every note all an anonymous note for AD-LIB. Which is funny. Thankfully, the S + rank gives you a unique & # 39; No Miss & # 39; label, so you can pretend that those funny funny notes are missing and focus on finding & # 39; No Miss & # 39; track.
You have a reason to do that, too. While it has its own packages for a different DLC song – it gives the likes of tracks that appear Undertale – The stand-alone game is full of content and much of it can't be unlocked, as in the good old days. The Missions screen shows you dozens of achievements linked together in the tree system: these range from things like & # 39; Clear 5 sections in Vocaloid type & # 39; to & # 39; Total Access in one category & # 39;
300 of these machines in total and unloading cargo. This includes the popularity of the 97 unlocked avatar icons that will play as, 22 & # 39; navigator characters & # 39; from the main menu, 19 different game skins, and – most importantly – the 29 tracks that don't open, delivering a complete track set from 71 songs to a good 100 cycle. it will get you & # 39; G Coins & # 39; s that allow you to pay your way for any success you may have. And no, you can't buy some Coins G in the eShop: that's not that kind of game. At least, not now that it's changing.
The switchch type involves some things that, if we are right, we can take or leave. There is an optional motion control mechanism that can simply replace the analogue rod control by running the Joy-Con; okay, and we didn't have issues played this way, but we didn't. Similarly, the option to play with up to four players – whether via split-screen or local wireless – is acceptable, but nothing different. None of this really matters, when the main meat here is really delicious. Or something.
The only other thing to keep in mind here is that Groove Coaster is a selfless Japanese. Almost all of the soundtrack contains Japanese music, which is categorized into Anime / Pop, Vocaloid, Touhou Project Remix and Game Music, so if your taste is western in style you may not have anything to offer here. Anyone who loves the Asian image or who is open-minded enough to be included in the new, flawless addictive tracks, will have a blast.
Conclusion
Yet another fun rhythm game to add to a growing switchchon repertoire. It may not be a tad on the expensive side, but its basic mechanic is solid, its minimalist look is a must-see and the fact that there is so much to be played and turned on means you will be happily tapping your toes in this one. months.
