The character design of EMI and RAGE looks different.
I really hope there are some new interface, new direction, new difficulty rating and more videos for all songs like during DDR EXTREME 2 era.

My favorite rhythm game right now would be Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage! on mobile, if that does count. The gameplay really just consists of tapping and flicking to notes on the screen, and I’d say it’s really fun, even in short gaming sessions. The game is hard of course, but there are five different difficulties available, even for beginners, since the developers wanted anyone of any skill level to be able to play the game. I play on the second most hardest difficulty level, Expert. I sometimes do Master, but I suck at it

It does have issues, like bad lagging at random moments (especially with music videos playing in the background) and sometimes cutting or removing content. I remember when I first played the game years ago, I’d get quit out of the game upon completing songs and I’d have to redo it again. I hate the gacha system it has in place, which acts kind only when it feels like it. I also am not a fan of how they separate currency earned in-game with currency earned by using real money. However, I should note that the game can be played without spending real money or using the gacha.

I did want to play Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX on the 3DS for a while now, but they shut down the EShop and physical copies go up to nearly a hundred now (at least from what I saw on an Amazon listing), so I’m probably not going to buy or play that anytime soon. It has never been rereleased and they likely aren’t going to do so unfortunately. I am aware that they released another Project DIVA game on the Switch, but I don’t have a Switch anymore since it transferred households…I should also mention I suck at playing rhythm games where the controls are with buttons and not by tapping or flicking a screen. I tried playing another rhythm game on my Xbox and just immediately quit out of it when I kept timing the notes incorrectly lol. I think it actually had an achievement that’s unlocked by simply failing a song chart!

I am not very good at Rythm games, sadly! They don't really play well for people with Dyspraxia like me, but I like them when they are mini games within things. ToeJam and Earl is a notable series for including them in a fun way I can manage.
