A dual pack of Taiko no Tatsujin games has been announced in the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase and is headed to Switch in « Winter 2020 ».
Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure Pack will include localised and upgraded ports of two previously Japan-only 3DS titles: Taiko no Tatsujin: Don to Katsu no Jikū Daibōken (or ‘Rhythmic Adventure 1’) and Taiko no Tatsujin: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure (now renamed as the less imaginative ‘Rhythmic Adventure 2’).
These freshly-localised games set Don-chan on a time-travelling RPG adventure where he takes on enemies in rhythmic battles using the series’ trademark taiko drum. Check out the trailer above to get a better feel for this RPG pair, or scroll down to digest some of the finer details from the PR blurb, as well as some screens from Nintendo’s website:
■Enjoy a relaxing adventure through the world where you control Don freely in Story Mode!
Take care of foes you encounter in Taiko Battles!
Drum on the Taiko well to attack! Mess it up and you’ll be attacked!
Compose a team of your favorite characters to take on even stronger enemies!
■In « Rhythmic Adventure 1 » you’ll serendipitously meet Tocky who has the important job of protecting all of history.
He tells you his friend Ticky has been abducted by someone named Professor Timedyne.
This wily professor is trying to use Ticky to dismantle history!
Travel to all sorts of ages throughout history and do away with the bad guys!
■In « Rhythmic Adventure 2 » the treasures that protect the very being of the world, the Ooparts, have been stolen by the shady organization The Hexagria Magical Society!
In order to retrieve them, Don and Katsu embark on a grand adventure!
Will Don and his friends be able to retrieve the Ooparts successfully and save the world?!
■And of course, you can play the Taiko Game Mode!
The library consists of over 130 songs, including 6 newly added titles such as “Pretender” by Official Hige Dandism and “Gurenge” from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba!
We enjoyed our time with Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun! when it released on Switch back in 2018, with our only major gripe being that you really needed the drum controller to get the best out of it. If you’ve invested in that satisfying peripheral, it’ll no doubt please you to have another opportunity to break it out this Winter.
Let us know below if this announcement has got your heart beating like a particular percussion instrument.
Gavin loves a bit of couch co-op, especially when he gets to delegate roles, bark instructions and give much-appreciated performance feedback at the end. He lives in Spain (the plain-y bit where the rain mainly falls) and his love for Banjo-Kazooie borders on the unhealthy.
I wish they’d release the actual drum over here in the States. My only options are unacceptably expensive imports or knockoff products that are still expensive.
I watched the Japanese Direct before the English one, and I was going to get this game regardless of it being localised or not. Seeing it in the English Direct was a nice surprise. I’m playing with my Taiko drum no matter how awkward walking around and everything else will be. Finally, I find it kind of funny how Gurenge is the song they’re promoting even though it’s been available on the current Switch version for a couple of months now, but I guess Kimetsu no Yaiba is huge right now, so I get it.
BEYOND excited for this, Taiko 3DS 2 and 3 were extremely fun (and it looks like you can customize your Don again!)
This does look pretty good I have to admit. Really want the drum though, I’m crap with a controller.
@Ralizah They’d do well to release a bundle when this comes out. Even if it’s only with a download code for the game.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the 3DS titles have Kirby, Ace Attourney, and Touhou crossovers?
This was the highlight of the Partner Showcase for me. I never played a ton of Taiko but I’m very interested in this. And it gives me a reason to break out the drum again.
@PBandSmelly yep, you can even switch your drum noise to a combination of objection/hold itonly time will tell if they’re kept (although Touhou and Kirby aren’t exactly farfetched considering the previous game on switch)
So, they said that it has a rhythm game mode which sounds great. Does anyone know if these will be different to those on the switch game or if they’re simply going to port that content to this one as a bonus?
Definitely no need for the drum controller to enjoy these games. The smile they put on your face is the same regardless!
They were 3DS games?! Ugh, I’d have much rather played them on there than the Switch…
I enjoy playing Drum n’ Fun from time to time (even though I can usually only keep up on the lower 2 difficulties playing with the controller), so I’m definitely interested.
