Might want to try one of the idolmaster games or even miku.

Any options for people who aren't gay?

What I absolutely hate about games that depends on community tracks like Osu! And the such is that they don't have any fucking idea on how to make, let alone balance, a track. They either completely depend on the handlebar or are aimed towards PC/controller scheme instead of actual mat/arcade inputs.

Try Crypt of the Necrodancer for a quick fix.

>>16604664

Project Diva is legit a really good game.

I also had a quick fix with Theathymh Final Fantasy Curtain Call or however you write that.

If not, I guess you have to settle with stuff like rock band or guitar hero.

Rhythm games on the switch never ever

Tracks in here.

>Taiko no Tatsujin

Forgot, that series too.

>that one fat weebo kid at the mall who would make the DDR machine his bitch

It was always amazing to see that much meat in motion at that speed.

The surprising part is how the fat kid never lost weight.

>>16604896

I knew a kid like that. He was fat as fuck and played DDR all day.

The track selection does actually matter a lot if you want player retention. Also though I would say you need satisfying gameplay. All the little sounds and lights or whatever your specific game has have to look nice. Take Osu! for example. Mappers can change the note hitsounds but most don't because the standard clicks are satisfying to hear and are very audibly separate from the song itself so when you string together combos you get that dopamine rush. You obviously need a wide range of difficulty as well. Player created content will keep the game alive long after it's usual life. If you are talking about arcade style games it needs to have good smooth/responsive controls. There are probably many other things that contribute to making a rhythm game good but these are just the ones I can immediately think of.

Starian from Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix Korean.

>>16605241

Also, not sure if you even knew Techno Motion which was the first to add the Starian YOU know.

Good music is a big one. Now that is pretty subjective, but having good variety of genres and styles is more easily quantifiable and helps a lot since people can play what they are in the mood for and different types of songs can test different skills. For me, what also makes a rhythm game great is how well the gameplay matches the song. I want to feel like I'm actually creating the song with the buttons I'm pressing. Having the notes matching very clearly with the guitar/drums/vocals or whatever is super important for creating a rewarding experience. For example, Project Diva is one of my favorite series. Every note you hit is very obviously something in the song (usually vocals), which really creates a sense that you're becoming one with the song if you play well, and likewise missing notes makes that part of the song you're playing not play. Now compare that to something like Audiosurf, which as far as I've seen barely matches the music at all. It's like you're just listening to music while doing something completely different. There is a big disconnect between song and gameplay. I don't get the appeal at all.

Customization is also a great thing that can make the games more enjoyable. Like Project Diva has tons of costumes for the characters, and other kinds of cosmetics items. DJMax is another great series. It lets you change things like the note visuals, the position of the note track, and the look of the note track. Not just in visuals too, having a selection of hitsounds and the ability to turn them off/on is a great addition. There are a lot more things too, but the last I'll mention is having a good difficulty range and curve. A lot of the fun of these games is getting better to the point you can play shit that doesn't even look possible with ease. Having a good smooth difficulty curve with plenty of variety to help the players get up to the hardest shit is very nice to have. I've played some games where there is one or a few really fucking hard songs that are so much harder than anything else I wasn't sure how you would even build up to having the ability to play it.

I know about TechnoMotion. The company that made it (F2 System) had already received help from Andamiro (PIU company). Thanks to Kikenami's lawsuit in 2000, Andamiro got F2 to make the next PIU version (Extra). It was the first version brought to the west (albeit illegally because it was for domestic use only), and turned PIU into an international hit, hence my previous post.

I see, sadly TM didn't get much love, it was my favorite of the bunch, I could only rescue most stepcharts and recreated the songs thanks to some friends who had the short versions and that team stepmasters later which closed down pretty quickly.

in those days anyone with arcade editing tools was an arrogant prick that hoarded them for "status."

>>16604664

Too bad Bust A Groove isn't exactly bemani but it has a level of interactivity that no "controller" dance currently has, now is just characters in the background doing the exact same dance during the whole song despite the player's input.

>>16604664

You could finally pick up that dusty guitar or bass from the garage while getting some weeb stuff via customs.

Rocksmith counts as a rhythm game right?

>>16606425

You can install them and turn them on or off.

>>16606425

I never used them before.

>>16604664

Beatsaber, but with that you need to be retarded enough to not know how to handle your money. Worth it if you know you like rhythm games but most headsets are too expensive to justify a purchase.

>>16604599

custom stepmania tracks may have suffered a "power creep" of sorts where stepfiles became more and more extreme as time went on. fags like staiain did nothing to help prevent this.

you may want to try to sticking to stepfiles and songs made before 2010. the Over a Frail Dream pack may be a decent place to start: http://east.stepmania-online.com/Over%20a%20Frail%20Dream.zip

>project diva

>normal difficulty is pressing either x or circle over and over

Not what OP wanted.

>hard difficulty on anything post ps3 is autistic mash feast

Theres no in-between with the japs.

>>16604699

the switch has cadence of hyrule and necrodancer

>>16608030

Console headset would be cheaper, but then you would also lose access to all the free custom songs. So not probably worth it either.

miku FT and miku diva series are the best rhythm games.

the notes make sense, its not hard for the sake of being hard. difficulty greatly depends on the song and its potential to be difficult.

plus it has cute girls.

also that drum game is pretty good if you buy the drum but i like the miku games alot more

>>16614298

normal difficulty is pressing either x or circle over and over

"normal" is just a grade for each song. there are some songs that are harder on "normal" than other songs on extreme. the star rating is the difficulty rating. just look at "a single red leaf" on extreme compared to streaming heart on normal.

the songs usually use about 3-5 inputs on easy (circle, X, directional right/down, and the analog stick/touchpad stars. 3-7 on normal, and 8-12 on hard+. diva has an emphasis on getting certain parts perfect. very hard to win many events without nailing those technical and chance zones and hitting large combos.

future tones difficulty and button variety greatly depend on the song.

For the record, stepmania is like that because Pad support was/is shit. Not to mention the lua dickwaving contest.

im gonna say it, and not be ashamed of it…….. eurotrash music was perfect for this games. nothing will ever beat it

>>16614347

I tried watching Cinderella girls last night, but the seeming lack of plot bored me.

Does it get better?

>>16614391

The anime is mostly just fanservice for people who played the games and know the girls. I think it's worth watching for the Sachiko and Nana episodes.

>>16614429

No idea. I never delete anything.

>>16604599 (Checked)

>DDR tracks

>>16614429

>>16614441

I think that the only thing which changes in Just Dance stuff is the track list, so they just swap in the new versions' and send it off. Costs them practically nothing in dev and they still get enough people buying them to turn a profit.

>>16614435

Fair enough.

>>16614524

Heh.

>>16614837

Don't they still have to match inputs to the beats of the song, or do they have algorithms just generate stuff automatically? It looks like they still have to make some new models to match some of the song themes at least.

>>16614310

The worst thing about this image is the support for Stadia.

>>16614298

>anything post ps3 is autistic mash feast

Only played the PSP and PS3 remake plus the sequel and they are solid. Couldn't give any less of a shit about the following games, and even then you are still wrong.

>Normal difficulty

The real difficulty is the one that adds square and triangle.

>>16614300

That was released really recently.

>>16616898

That is Pump It Up

>>16604756

theres was gal metal on the bing bing wahoo, the school sim shit is kind of gay but the actual rhythm game is fun

>>16618714

And yet here you are, niggerkike.

Go back.
