Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun!

Taiko Drum Master: Nintendo Switch Version! is a funny music game in which the players must press buttons and move the controllers according to the rhythm. The game is a remaster of Taiko Drum Master, a game that was released in 2004 on PlayStation 2. The publisher of the new version, Bandai Namco Entertainment, made sure that the game s all unique traits of Nintendo Switch, including the motion controllers with HD Rumble.

Mechanics

The gameplay principles are very simple: the players are selecting the song and then they are trying to match its rhythm by moving joy-cons. Different moves represent specific tunes. Hints presented on the screen are making the task easier. The Nintendo Switch edition was enriched with a new feature: character selection. Each character is unique and can manage better with specific moves. This enables the character to collect more points (Lantern Eel can for example quickly hit in drum sections) or to make the game easier (Master Drumsticks – removes differences between some tunes, making mistakes more forgettable). The game features a few dozen songs that belong to genres like pop music, classical music and games and anime soundtracks.
