Nintendo has filed a DMCA takedown against fan-made software ‘Heaven Studio’, a tool which enabled people to upload their own music and pair it with one of the rhythm-based minigames from the Rhythm Heaven series.
As reported by TorrentFreak (thanks, VGC), the Heaven Studio GitHub repository has been removed following Nintendo’s request, which cites copyright on the assets included with the software.

Man, it’s such a bummer that Nintendo had to go and file a DMCA against that fan-made ‘Heaven Studio’ software for Rhythm Heaven. I mean, it was a cool tool that let people create their own music and pair it with those fun rhythm-based minigames from the series. But I guess Nintendo has to protect their copyright and all that jazz.
It sucks that the GitHub repository got taken down because of this. I know a lot of people put time and effort into making and sharing their remixes using Heaven Studio. It’s a shame to see all that work just disappear like that.
I hope maybe there’s a way for the makers of the tool to work things out with Nintendo so that they can bring it back in some form. It would be awesome to see this kind of creativity and community thriving without all the legal drama. But hey, I guess that’s just how things go sometimes in the gaming world.
Man, it’s such a bummer that Nintendo had to go and shut down that fan-made ‘Heaven Studio’ software for Rhythm Heaven remixes. I mean, I get that they have to protect their copyright and all, but it was such a cool tool for fans to create their own music mixes with the rhythm games. It sucks that it got taken down, especially since so many people were enjoying it. Hopefully, the makers can figure something out or maybe Nintendo will come up with their own official version. Fingers crossed!
