Update: November 19, 2009 «©NCSX» The Taiko no Tatsujin games were once a Playstation 2 staple but since Sony's previous-generation console has faded, the popular Nintendo Wii has become the platform of choice for the latest renditions of the Taiko series. Taiko no Tatsujin 2 Do Don to 2 Daime contains a 70-song soundtrack which culls selections from the genres of J-Pop, Animation, Classical and Video Games. Some of the songs include:» J-Pop: "Be Your Wings," "Linda Linda," and "Romantic Whim." » Animation: "Lets! Fresh Pretty Cure! ~Hybrid ver.~" and "Dragon Soul." » Video Game: "Dragon Quest IX" and "Hello!" from IdolMaster » Classical: Beethooven's "Symphony No. 5" and "Carmen." Players can also enjoy "Baroque Hoedown" which has a lively beat which jibes well with the maniacal characters and frantic action. New features in the game include boss battles and cameo appearances by the Drackys and Slimes from Dragon Quest and the girls from Idolmaster who represent their respective songs. Note: the regular version does not include the wireless Taiko drum controllers but the game's perfectly playable with the standard Wii Remote (Press "1" for the red cue and press "2" for the blue cue). NCS Game Notes * Soon after booting up the game, a short tutorial teaches players how to smack the Taiko drum controller with the sticks. The demonstration will loop upon you press the "A" button. * A Story Mode may be played where the Taikos discover a golden-bear toy with a windup mechanism on its back who talks and walks on its own power. * Wii Remote Controls Red Cue - d-pad right or down on Wii Remote or press the 1 button Blue Cue - d-pad left or up on Wii Remote or press the 2 button Product Specifications Product SKU: NBGI-00011 JAN Code: 4582224497171 Japanese Product Name: Wii ドドーンと2代目!
