An animation on the official websites demonstrates the button-press gaming.
The upcoming Wii version of Rhythm Heaven is a one to two-player game.
An animation on Nintendo's recently updated Japanese website shows a game that is played just by pressing the "A" button in time with the beat, much like the Game Boy Advance iteration of the game. The two-player mode is not shown.
The game will have support for four save files. It will be released in Japan on 21 July, and will be on sale for 5,800 yen ($72). Read our impressions of the game from E3 2011.
