Update: December 11, 2008 «©NCSX» Bang the drum (slowly and quickly) once again this winter when Namco ships Taiko no Tatsujin for the Nintendo Wii. The standard edition of the game ships with a special taiko/drum controller and a pair of thick plastic drumsticks. A wire from the back of the controller plugs into the Wii Remote so that gamers can drum wirelessly and unfettered by tethers. Taiko no Tatsujin Wii features a 70-song tracklist which ranges the spectrum of J-Pop, animation, classical, and original music. Similar to previous Taiko no Tatsujin games, simple colored cues roll down a conveyer belt which are meant to elicit a Pavlovian response from the player. For example, when a Red Smiley Taiko rolls into the rubicon, hit the surface of the TataCon but a Blue Smiley Taiko requires a smack the edge of the drum controller. A nifty new feature in the Wii version of Taiko is the lyrics display mode where the lyrics of songs are displayed on the screen so players and/or onlookers can sing along to the songs.
