THQ Announces Beat City
Challenging players to rediscover the pulse of Beat City, THQ announced today a new rhythm game for the Nintendo DS. In Beat City players are tasked with finding their inner rhythm in order to revitalize a city devoid of life, color, and happiness.
Using the stylus to perform a variety of motions – tap, swipe or hold – the story unfolds through a series of minigames. Successful performances will result in the city transforming, simultaneously taking out the evil corporation that is responsible for the monotony.
Rhythm games on the Nintendo DS have performed relatively well. My personal favorites include Rhythm Heaven and Elite Beat Agents. Anyone here looking for a quirky new DS title to occupy their time?
Beat City is slated to ship spring of 2010 and is rated E for everyone.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
