On display at Namco-Bandai's Tokyo Game Show 2008 booth was this overly cute music rhythm game. Featuring anime drum characters with animal-like faces, there's no denying the cutesy appeal. Bright, clean 2D visuals are enough to draw attention to the game, though the giant drum and sticks of the arcade version probably do a better job of instilling interest in potential customers.
Bandai Namco announced a new contest for the Taiko: Drum Master arcade gamers in Japan.
Taiko: Drum Master for Wii U promised free downloadable music and it’s delivering on that front.
The Taiko: Drum Master series made PlayStation 2 its first home. Then the series moved to Nintendo DS and was on Wii for last generation. While there are Taiko: Drum Master games for Wii U and 3DS, Namco Bandai also made an iOS version.
