Let’s Look At The Games In Let’s Tap

By Spencer . December 3, 2008 . 12:43pm

Let’s Tap is another mini-game compilation for the Wii, but the unique concept of tapping a cardboard platform to control the games makes it stand out. Unfortunately, Let’s Tap only has four games so it’s a micro mini-game collection. I played Tap Runner at TGS and it was pretty fun so I’m still looking forward to Let’s Tap, but not as much after seeing this trailer.

Rhythm Tap is essentially Taiko Drum Master with tap control and a mode where four players hit different notes. Silent Blocks is similar to Jenga… with tapping and a puzzle based alchemy mode where you can clear same color pieces. Bubble Voyager looks like the strongest single player game out of Let’s Tap and It’s essentially the Balloon Trip mode from Balloon Fight. The rest of the package is padded with visualizers. I suppose this isn’t too bad since Let’s Tap is priced like a second tier Wii game at 5,040 yen ($55) (note: games with this price usually retail for $39.99 in the US), but Let’s Tap has more visualizers than games.

Sega will shove Let’s Tap into stores on December 18, the same day they are releasing Bleach: Versus Crusade and the Wii version of Sonic: Unleashed in Japan. Launching a new intellectual property title among two staple franchises can’t be a good early sign for Let’s Tap.

I don't know if I'd call these mini-games. Each one seems to have a decent amount of depth. In my opinion, we've become spoiled in how much content we require in games now. That price tag does seem a little high though... I say bring it overseas with a $20 price tag and an unique, penguin based advertising campaign. :P

Unless you are sure thats it maybe there are more content like a whole mini game gets unlocked and BTW they are not micro games as in Wario Ware, also this kind of game could be full of cool interactive things ala Wario Ware toys and stuff.
