Nintendo performs live demonstration of Rhythm Heaven

It's not every day Nintendo decides to stop by Joystiq's office in New York. It's a rare treat that was made all the more memorable through a musical performance that we were (unfortunately) dragged into. Rhythm Heaven is an upcoming DS game that features a series of simple music-based rhythm games. This real life demonstration of one of the mini-games was meant to highlight the quirky charm of the game, while highlighting its elegant simplicity.

It was a fun experiment, to be sure — but we'll stick with playing on our DS systems from now on. Expect an early review of the game on Joystiq in the coming weeks.
