DS To Get More Rhythm
Beat City Coming to Town This Year
By Shaun Hatton - January 12th, 2010
Today THQ announced an upcoming DS game from developer Universomo called Beat City. While not much has been revealed in terms of details, it looks somewhat similar to Rhythm Heaven. Players will tap, swipe, and hold to the beat of the music in several mini games. Sounds cool, no pun intended.
While this happens, the city in the game will transform into a vibrant place. The above image is from the tentative box art from the game and reminds me of the Powerpuff Girls episode “Mime For A Change” in which the girls save a black & white Townsville through the magic of rock ‘n’ roll. Here’s a clip of that; it’s awesome.
So how about some bonus content for you exclusive to Toronto Thumbs? Here’s an mp3 of my friend (and part-time contributor) Kevin Hickey and me covering this tune. It was recorded in 2001 (or 2000). We used an old Tascam four-track I had borrowed from a friend and didn’t really know what we were doing. Enjoy!
