Friends, we've weathered hard times these past months. Nintendo faithful across the land have endured quite the drought. So few compelling titles may have tested the resolve of less devout fans, but not us. No, we patiently waited, silently bearing this burden, knowing that the Meat Man in the sky was testing us and would, one day, deliver us to salvation.
With Zelda, Kirby, and Mario our faith has been rewarded with a truly bountiful harvest this autumn. Nintendo has blessed us with a feast, to the likes of which we have grown unaccustomed. And now, they serve up yet another magnificent gift. Yes, friends, the drought is truly over.
The oracles at Nintendo Power have prophesied that come February the skies will open up and release Rhythm Heaven Fever upon the world. Acolytes of the Wii, the task rests upon your unwavering shoulders to become harbingers of the divine fever. Spread this joyous disease so that its celestial beat finds its way into hearts across the land.
Rhythm Heaven Fever spreads to North America in February [Joystiq]
Lets celebrate with these!

@Holmes was scared to check those links for a sec there lol
But then I realized I hate rhythm heaven
Sugoi desu nee?!
@Setto
I'm sure you guys will get it too, but at least you have The Last Story to keep you busy in the meantime.
What the fuck is Nintendo of America's problem?
2.93m sales is not bad at all. Not amazing, but extremely niche would be a lot less than that. I agree about those JRPGs though. I want those games so bad. Perhaps I should just mod my Wii and import.
Rhythm Heaven may not be niche in Japan, but the concept of it - an extremely simplified rhythm game, very Japanese in style - seems to be a much larger risk than large role playing games. The only string of logic I can find in this is that it's just more of NOA's pushing of the "casual" stuff. Old ladies are more likely to play a rhythm game than something with a story.
Don't forget these ones...
