While the rhythm game market is on ice in the West, Japan is still purchasing music games like the Taiko Drum Master series.
Bakemonogatari Portable brings the quirky anime to PSP, while Nippon Ichi’s Special Report Division releases on Vita.
Taiko Drum Master on the 3DS had a debut consistent with previous games in the series. Meanwhile, retailers indicate that Rune Factory 4 is selling well.
Level 5′s long-awaited sci-fi adventure finally debuts on the 3DS and Vita.
Yes, Wada-don has a sword and a dragon, but no Namco Bandai isn’t making a Taiko: Drum Master role playing game.
“Monster Hunter Tri G Medley” is one of the tracks in Taiko: Drum Master The Little Dragon and the Mysterious Orb. Stick to the beat and more Felynes will come out to dance.
A leak also reveals “Switch On!” from Kamen Rider Fourze, “Good Morning! Shining Day” from Inazuma Eleven Go, Toriko’s theme, “Best Wishes” from Pokemon Best Wishes, and the One Piece opening theme “We Go!”
It sounds like Namco Bandai is continuing what they did with the Taiko: Drum Master games for DS since their 3DS game will also have an adventure mode starring Wada-don.
