Time travel, world-ending threats, and lots of drumming
Taiko no Tatsujin is getting a collection of drumming RPGs on the Switch later this year, Nintendo announced during its second Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase.
Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure Pack brings two 3DS games — retroactively titled Rhythmic Adventure 1 and Rhythmic Adventure 2 as they did not receive an English release — to the Switch in one package, mixing the series’ signature drumming action with RPG battle elements. The games each feature a full story mode, involving Don-chan’s wacky adventures through time and stopping world-ending threats — as happens when you’re a sentient drum.
The collection also features a classic Taiko Mode, consisting of over 130 songs to play along to the beat, with 6 new songs including “Pretender” by Official Hige Dandism and “Gurenge” from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. If you’re a big Taiko fan, you probably already know what that means.
Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure Pack is set to launch sometime toward the end of the year, with the release slated for “Winter” in the northern hemisphere, or Summer down south.
Big name first party titles aplenty, all the big names.
We've never had to write PlayStation so many times before.
