retroed Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Okay, a couple of us have ordered this I think. My copy should be here any day, so I thought I'd put this thread up. First off, if you have never heard of it, you must check out this review/explanation of the game. Don't be put off by the Japanese menu's, it's super simple to get to grips with (see YouTube link above). If you like your rhythm action games, or just fancy a change from Ouendan/EBA, you will need this in your life. From what I understand, every copy comes with two Taiko styli! You can play the game using buttons, if you don't fancy yourself as a drummer. Anyway, if you haven't ordered it, buy it now. Personal impressions when mine arrives. Quick menu translation: Title Screen- Songs (red) - Daily Play (yellow) - Multiplayer (green) - Mail (blue) - Game Settings(purple) Songs - To change difficulty, click the middle tab with the icon of the plant on it. -- Plant is Easy -- Bamboo is Medium -- Tree is Hard - Right Tab is Customisation -- First option is for tap sounds -- Second menu is game adjusters like faster speed/cloaking ect I think.. - To play a song, just tap the one you want when it is near the middle of the screen. Daily Play - Hit chart, right is to practice song, left is to get ranked (one per day max.) Multiplayer - Multicart - Join Game? Game Settings - Control Methods - Change your Name - Erase Data Mail - Wardrobe to customise your Taiko -- Tab 1 - Face Colour -- Tab 2 - Body Colour -- Tab 3 - Rim Colour -- Tab 4 - Headgear -- Tab 5 - Clothes - Postbox to read mail and get new items for your wardrobe from the letters with presents. - Bottom right Icon is Tutorial Pause Screen - Resume - Restart - Back to Songs - Back to Title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centy Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Yes my good friend Ed here is correct you need this in your life. My copy will be ordered shortly but I have played it and its fantastic the songs are even more strange than the ones in Ouendan but honestly this game is worth the entry fee for the Super Mario Bros level alone, absolutely sublime gameplay. The "every DS game must have it" daily play mode is great aswell forcing you to play tracks you might not touch otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Im acctually in Japan right now, and I bought a copy of the game yesterday. I must say its a lot of fun. I haven`t played it that much, but it seems good this far. The game comes along with two taiko no tatsujin pens to, wich is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroed Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 I've been caning this game, it's superb. I've got all golds on Easy and a bunch on Normal. I've done a few on Hard, also. The daily play mode that unlocks new songs is good, you can practice as much as you want, then have one attempt at being ranked. Presentation is spot on, and the tracklist is great, the Mario Bros. medley is awesome! Even the classicial music tracks are very well done. I'm surprised there aren't more people talking about this, it belongs in everyones collection. This will probably end up being my Game of the Month.

Phooey Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I still haven't played my copy yet. I blame the PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centy Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Have you had a chance to import Ecoris yet (noticing your avatar) its being localised for the states now apparently. On Topic though I reckon the game won't disappoint anyone who orders it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided not to import that one (too text heavy) so I'm pretty chuffed that it's getting a US release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 It finally arrived today (two funky stylus drum-sticks - in your face, Captain Bluebeard) however I also bought Sonic Rush Adventure and Worms 2 yesterday, and Super Paper Mario and Stranglehold (for teh 360) late last night. Arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 When a game makes Game of the Month it comes with high praise indeed. And maybe it's because of expectation but I'm just not feeling the same ammounts of love for this as everyone else. I've gone through all the tracks on Easy and got all (bar a couple) gold medals and have just moved onto Medium difficulty. Now it's more likely down to Easy mode (and I'll be singing its praises shortly after I go through the game) but it seems to be pretty, um, basic right now. As I say it's most likely down to me playing through Easy mode as I get the same feeling from Guitar Hero, Ouenden, EBA, Daigasso, etc on Easy mode - it's just too boring. But with this there doesn't seem to be the level of sophistication from Daigasso, the bonkers stories from Ouenden/EBA or the sheer adrenaline of Guitar Hero. I don't not like the game, but I found myself just playing through the tracks and not feeling anything at all. I did enjoy the classical tracks, but I realised for the rest I was just playing the game "just to play the game". I had me headphones on, I was in the rhythm-action zone, but I didn't feel the love that you all do. Like I say, I'm sure on medium and hard it will pick up and I'll be back saying how amazing it is, but as of right now I'd be recommending all the other DS music games above this.
