Rhythm Heaven Groove was unveiled way back during a March 2025 Nintendo Direct, just before the launch of the highly anticipated Switch 2. While attention quickly shifted to the new shiny bit of tech, the dedicated Rhythm Heaven fandom was left in the lurch. But their patience has finally been rewarded as Rhythm Heaven Groove is finally on its way.
There’s no pre-order bonus with this upcoming release, and no Nintendo Switch 2 version either. However, that means there are no game-key cards to put up with, as the full game is available on a single Nintendo Switch cart that’ll work just fine on both handhelds. Physical copies are just $39.99 / £32.99 too, and I’ve gathered all the best US and UK links where you can grab your copy in time for a summer of music rhythm fun.
