Looks like Nintendo is finally bringing Rhythm Tengoku to America. I played the gba game and fell in love with it instantly. The announcement of the Japanese sequel on the DS, Rhythm Tengoku Gold, got me pretty excited. Rhythm Tengoku Gold will simply be named Rhythm Heaven here in the States. Now that it looks like the series is coming to America, I can finally own a copy that I can understand without good ol' guess and check.

The game wasn't officially announced at E3 but the information can be found on Nintendo's E3 press page.
