Taiko no Tetsujin
« on: July 17, 2007, 01:39:24 AM »
The Taiko drum game is coming out for DS on July 26th!

It says it will include 2 special styli.  I hope they sell them separately, for all of us with R4's, ;).

Those sticks will be lost by under 16s worldwide. Hopefully they will be sold seperately.

Well if they're just the ones in the commercial, I could care less.

But if they're like the ones that came with the PS2 game, I'd love those ;).

What's the special thing about the styli?

Yep.  There's a theme.

They were just really cool.  They made the game more fun because they weren't just drumsticks - they were semi-fat heavy plastic sticks that just seemed to suit the game perfectly.

I understand the DS version won't come with fat sticks like the originals, but a smaller recreation would make it fun!

EDIT:  Just watched the commercial again.  I guess the ones pictured are the special styli.  I guess it's not that special after all.

Ooh, I just remembered my DSlite came with an extra stylus!  Now I can play ;).

Japanese commercials rule, that game looks pretty fun too.  If someone got this and another person got Jam Sessions you could have Rock Band DS.

That looks pretty cool.  I doubt it'll ever be localized though, so good thing I have an R4 ;).
