Excited for the new Rhythm Heaven game on Switch? Curious if Rhythm Heaven Groove is actually your thing?
If so, you’re in luck. Nintendo have now released a free demo for Rhythm Heaven Groove on the eShop, providing a neat taster for the full game. Here’s the announcement from their official Twitter account:
A free demo for #RhythmParadiseGroove is now available! Give grooving a go, then transfer your progress to the full game.

Plus, a playthrough video of the demo by Sirloin on YouTube:
Yeah, it’s a pretty small demo. You’ve got 4 or 5 mini games to try out, a couple of extra modes here and there, and a few details about features only found in the final game.
If you’re expecting something to last you for more than 20 minutes or so, you’ll be pretty disappointed here.
But hey, that’s rarely Nintendo’s style when it comes to these demos. They’re bite-sized samples of the full games, and exist solely to demonstrate how a niche game actually works. Add how you can transfer your data to the full game, and well, it’s at least worth trying out anyway.
Give it a look if you want a preview for the title, or need selling on its core premise.
