Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is a rhythm game based on the Final Fantasy universe. The short demo I played of it via the eShop in Japan was quite fun, but I am wary of a retail price. Still, there are scans after the break.

  • JefteNintendoNerd

    CUTE!! I love this game!

    • uriel

      my little sisters 3DS video recording can record sound…..wtf! this is not a lie i called BS myself but then she showed me right now and it does……why?

    • LaLaLa

      I use this to record songs instead of using the 3ds sound thing. Thanks, reggie!

  • HADUKEN!!!

    This is a funny looking game lol

  • DavidW

    Blarg, I want a rhythm game with music from bands like Gorillaz

    • Belinni

      For a second I thought you wrote “Blarg, I want a rhythm game with music for dancers like Godzilla.”

      I want an open world game that allows us to play the music we already have on the 3DS Music app. A Kid Icarus Uprising sequel that allows us to play some epic Two Steps from Hell? Yes, please.

    • DavidW

      yah rly, I’m just not too excited for the rhythmic games coming to the 3ds.

  • Beyonces1ndonly

    this game looks childish and i can’t stand this. This game is a disgrace to all final fantasy games. I’m sure there are people who enjoy games like this, but i feel that they are wasting their time making a usless game like this. They should be making a game worth my time…THIS IS GARBAGE

    • Andrew

      Sorry to burst your bubble but the world doesn’t revolve around what you.

    • Ryuji

      A game worth your time… you mean like Theatrhythm: Beyonce?

    • Captain Falcon

      lol, I wonder how you act like around your friends…

    • miiworld2

      lol, I wonder if he even has friends…

    • 3DS Strider

      How can you call a game garbage if you’ve never played it?

    • nintendofan

      If you don’t like this game, why do you even bother posting about it?

      There are some games that are posted here on this blog but I don’t waste my time whining about them. I just ignore them.

    • nintendofan

      Edit:
      There are some games that are posted here on this blog THAT I DON’T LIKE but I don’t waste my time whining about them. I just ignore them.

    • miiworld2

      @3DS Strider I know right? Dude doesn’t even know what the hell he’s talking about.

      Here’s me for example: I despised Final Fantasy when I was young, but when I played it the first time I got hooked on it and became an instant fan!

    • Henry Anderson

      Yes this is the game that is a disgrace to the final fantasy series. Not X-2 or any of the other lack luster sequels.

    • Beyonces1ndonly

      lol haters in the building, jkjk just wanted to express my feeling on this game. I wish they would have made a genuine final fantasy game instead of this one… just passing the time on this slow sunday.

    • Areuto

      Yeah Making a game the solely involves graphics is waaaayyy better than a game that is for once not just a rpg that has the same rpg turn based idea.

    • Areuto

      I was using Sarcasm

    • reggie fils-aime

      eff off beyonce!

    • Beyonces1ndonly

      awwwwww

  • ellio

    I thought final fantasy had good graphics and my friend hacked into the eshop and got $1000 eshop dollars for free.

    • yesname

      How?

    • ellio’s momma

      lier you can only have 200 at most

    • Captain Falcon

      Final Fantasy DOES have good graphics… besides this is on the 3ds and plus it’s a totally different art style.

  • reggie fils-aime

    as always, square enix creating content worthy of our systems

    • Lil B Based God

      /sarcasm

    • supermariofan

      MarioKart7 should’ve had more content Reggie >:p

    • Captain Falcon

      I thought indieszero was making the game, and Square Enix was just publishing it?

    • reggie fils-aime

      oh really i was not aware of that
      as for supermariofan, i am sorry if the content offered in mario kart 7 is not enough, you have to understand that 2gb of memory fill up really fast, thats why i have been talking with iwata and retro about making dlc
      and lastly lil b based god i wasnt being sarcastic, those are actually my true feelings about the game

    • millsy

      Reggie, can you tell me if Fire Emblem is coming to Australia and when? And if you don’t, you suck. TEEHEE

    • supermariofan

      @reggie fils-aime
      That makes sence, I understand what you mean. I still think MK7 &MKWii are the best mario racing games(I’ve played them).

    • reggie fils-aime

      @milllsy intelligent systems is the one in charge of that right now and i dont know about it since australia is not in america, so i am not the one in charge of bringing it over there.
      as for supermariofan well i am glad you enjoy the content we bring to you, making our fans happy has always been our priority

  • Egghollo

    Soooo mediocre. And the characters don’t look cute, they just look cheap and stupid.

  • Luciano Fran

    I know this is off topic or maybe its no but wheres our demos? I dont want to sound like Im complaing but nintendo did say demos are coming to the eshop like last year.I am a patient person but then again nintendo never gave us a specific date so I guess I’ll play the waiting game even do I never beaten it XD anyone wanna play with me lol

    • Luciano Fran

      *even though

  • CrimsonalCore

    PRISHE<3 Shes so kawaii desu

    • Captain Falcon

      desu desu desu desu
      You japanese… •__•

  • supermariofan

    Lucky David, I forgot that he had a japanese 3DS so he could play the demo. Speaking of which, when are the demos comming to North America and Europe?

    • Luciano Fran

      When Reggie flies:)

    • reggie fils-aime

      hahah good one
      supermariofan you need to understand none of the demos that have been released are ours.
      meaning only their own companies know when they are gonna release them, of course they will tell us about a week or 2 before releasing them so that i can put them in the eshop

    • supermariofan

      @reggie fils-aime
      sorry if that sounded pushy and good to know
      @Luciano Fran LOl!

    • Cyrok

      @reggie
      I’m pretty sure Capcom said not long ago that they were only waiting for NOA to sent them a code or something to upload the RE:R demo so… tell us! c’mon we won’t say you told us ^ ^

    • reggie fils-aime

      fine i admit it, i already sent them the code, but i cant tell you anything because they want to keep it secret to build some hype, but its coming soon trust me

    • PixelKnot93

      Me neither.

      Godzillas comment is true to me

  • http://nintendo3ds.wikia.com J. Severe

    I will be buying this.

    Problem, haters?

    • http://gravatar.com/elffcc Big E

      I will…If it gets localized. It has less than a month ’til its Japanese release and has not been announced for other territories. Going by that logic, I doubt it will. It’s a shame.

  • ellio

    Ok, a correction, to how he hacked it was with swapnote so i couldn’t read his writing it was either 1000 or 100. I read it wrong. And he didn’t say how.

  • daniel

    DAVID AND OR FRANKO NEWS! RELEASE DATE FOR BEYOND THE LABIRYNTH ON NINTENDO SITE OF JAPAN!! AND OTHER GAMES

  • Manny
    • Brian (1246 8880 1183)

      The character sprites are pretty bad but the backgrounds are really pretty and some of them are cg videos from games like ffviii and ffix. Least from what I can tell from gameplay videos i’ve seen. The graphics are good, especially for a rhythm game where gameplay is seriously the only focus. meaning you don’t really have time to focus on anything else but what your doing. Either way i’m still on the fence about this one, I love music games and the ff series has incredible music so for me it all comes down to fun addictive gameplay. Graphics are at the bottom of my list for this game.

    • Belinni

      Interesting, if the rumor is true it sorta explains why they said the new Zelda 3DS game wouldn’t be connected to the older DS ones. Usually any Zelda game with some sort of multiplayer functionality could be placed in any part of the timeline without much of a problem.

      I sorta doubt it’s real but a Bangaa could dream.

    • LaLaLa

      I hope it’s real, I just became a zelda fan on october.

  • Dylan

    How can you play the demo if you dont have a japanese 3ds??? I just want to know so i can do it XD

    • Beyonces1ndonly

      oh crap i almost forgot… WHERE THE HELL ARE MY DEMOS NINTENDO

    • Glitchmastermario

      @Dylan David actually does have a japanese 3DS

    • Dylan

      OH he does have a japanese 3ds? LUCKY……Thanks Glitch! I kinda didnt know.. XD

  • http://macromanjr.blogspot.com/ Brian Lockett

    I won’t knock this game and I’m sure it has its fun moments, but I still can’t help but feel that, beside a title or two like Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, Square Enix generally has been taking it easy in game development for the past couple of years.

    Come on, Square Enix, get back to the way you used to be and show me something impressive. I know you can create something a lot more awesome for the 3DS than this game.

    And also, with possibly the best console to come around in about 12 years–the Wii U–I hope they stand up, stretch, and get back to making some impressive games again.

    • Belinni

      So you’re saying Deus Ex and Tomb Raider (the new one) aren’t impressive?

      Meh, everyone has an opinion.

      Anyway I WOULD like to see them do something cool for the 3DS. Aside from Dragon Quest I wish they’d also continue remaking the remaining Final Fantasy games. Though an actual new IP would make me happy anyway.

    • Brian (1246 8880 1183)

      I hope bravely default it awesome! Thats sqeenix

  • sam765

    `That’s why there is plenty room for 2 handhelds: 1 for the mature-looking games and 1 for the kiddy-looking games..

    • DavidW

      Cool story bro, tell it again.

    • GamingFan99

      Haha you’re funny! Did your mommy help you type that? ; )

    • supermariofan

      good for you……….good for you

    • Belinni

      I find it amusing that the people craving these “mature” games are usually the immature gamers.

      I love zombies and shooting games but there has to be a limit before you realize that’s the only thing you have right?

    • canthia

      Get off your rock nintendo 3ds not a kiddy handheld every heard of resident evil Revelations, Monster hunter, Mental gear soild snake eater 3D. Saying a handheld is kiddy you are so clueless people play games of all ages. People make those kiddy comments are not really true gamers don’t even have a sence how the gaming community is.

    • Jmaster720

      mature games, your not talking about the Dead no game Vita are you?

    • https://en.gravatar.com/jacknzack27 JacknZack

      because touch my kamatari is so mature. every system has different games for all ages.

      also its rated E for EVERYONE, not E for kiddy

    • sam765

      Little handhelds for the younger ones and bigger handhelds with 5 inch megascreen for the adults….

  • Aneudi
  • Jmaster720

    Awful looking game…its one of those games you love
    or
    Hate<—-

    • RoflWaffle

  • LaLaLa

    One of the ads on here was for final fantasy xIII-2 (or at least that’s what I thought it said, I don’t know roman numerals that good).

    • LaLaLa

      Yes, it’s for xbox and playstation, But don’t send in comments saying stupid stuff, fanboys.

  • 3DSNERD

    anyone have info on dbz?

  • Rafael

    I really really love this game, I love Final fantasy games and music games when you must to keep rythm (like Rythm paradise :) ) And I want to buy it :D

  • Iron_Catastrofe

    I hope the submitted questions really get looked at. There’s a lot of good one’s that barely got voted for and some that kind of just suck

  • http://foisdjoifiosdfdisfg.de sdfghjklö

    that looks stupid

  • DeN

    i loved the demo and already preordered it together with labirynth no kanata :3
