This is a neat idea, but I doubt it will be an improvement. Hopefully it at least has wiimotionplus support, although there is nothing in the pictures to indicate this.

The one thing that troubles me is if they do try to release another Taiko Drum game outside of Japan and leave people here with the inflatable drum as the only option.

Yet as much as I love the drumcon I'd still pick up one of these to try out, and to cherish for having Don/Katsu's face on it. Yeah… I can't help but wonder if they'll go for two design schemes.

I'd rather have a new plastic taiko drum or something.. at least it will have a "louder" sound.. I love Taiko no Tatsujin, but… this seems little weird with the wii mote inside and all.

I don't understand why they wouldn't, but I'll be getting the DS games pretty soon. Great music, cute designs - what more could I want? <br><br>Since the Wii remote is place in a specific spot I guess the hits have to be more precise? At any rate, I love to hit that :3 off his face!
