An official iTunes Visualizer for the Nintendo DS game "Rhythm Heaven," released by Nintendo.

History

In May of 2009, Nintendo hosted a music visualizer for MacOS X, Windows Vista, and Windows XP on the official Rhythm Heaven (DS) website. But on January 3, 2016, Nintendo took down the website, along with the download for the visualizer.

The visualizer is assumed only to be on the US website because on the Japanese website, which is still up, does not have a download and it only hosts wallpapers. The Australian website is up but is broken. Even when trying to visit the site on the WayBack Machine, the US website won't redirect to proper links (it will often try to redirect to Rhythm Heaven Fever's (Wii) page instead).

The only evidence of its existence is news articles[1][2] and a video on Vimeo.[3]
