Taiko No Tatsujin: RHYTHM FESTIVAL beats the Switch

Legendary Vita drumming game (in Japan anyway) is headed to the global Switch fanbase thanks to Namco.  Arriving September, it lets players take a tour of Omiko City and its rhythm-inspired locations. Visit the Thunder Shrine to play the original Taiko Mode and the new Concierge Mode – Improvement Support, where players can master the most challenging sections of songs. 

And there are bonuses to be had for those with previous Taiko titles. Players can get a band together with four-player party games in Taiko Land, for “couch co-op” as they drum different parts of songs or go head-to-head with another player with their hand-selected toys in the unique and colorful Great Drum Toy War mode. Take your skills on a global tour in Dondoko Town, competing with players from around the world on the road to becoming a Taiko master. 

In TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHM FESTIVAL, players will hone their drumming skills through 76 songs, choosing between motion, touch, or button control, and customize their experience by earning Don Coins as they play. The game will be the first title in the series to offer the Taiko Music Pass giving players access to a catalog of more than 500 songs along with monthly updates adding new songs.
