Easy to play, immediate fun

Easy to play, you will have fun instantly. Still, progression margin is huge, the game requires intensive training before attacking highest difficulty levels. Curious to see how does it play with dedicated controller.

Great game

This is my second time ordering from Playasia, and once again, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Their products are high-quality, 100% original, and often hard to find locally unless you go through resellers—who usually charge much more. Playasia offers a great alternative for collectors and fans looking for rare items at fair prices. Shipping was smooth, and everything arrived in perfect condition. I’ll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommended!

My two weeks in a row evening habit

Awesome game. Your mistakes doesn't make music awful, like in guitar hero, but you just play with a song. Got a mistake buying dlc in european EShop, so be careful about them. Also online ranking is pretty alive, got no problems finding an opponent(on easy and normal difficulties, don't think hard and extreme lack of them, will check it soon).

Must buy if you enjoy rhythm games, and mostly great songs.

Let's get physical

Always try to get physical copies of games. What's interesting is when first playing there is an update that immediately changes it all to English which was unique for an import game as my other import games require manual langue changes.

The game is great but be advised that the region specific dlc that is not accessible unless you have an account in the territory also effects free downloads.

Great game

Incredible

Yes!, very funny to play with family or friends, the portable version is solid indeed but is better in TV screen (to play with more people) many exclusives tunes of Nintendo included here
