Pound it in, boys and girls
Hell must be feeling a little chilly today, because the boys are back in town. By “boys”, I am referring to Katsu and Don, the cutesy drum brothers that herald Bandai Namco’sTaiko no Tatsujinrhythm game franchise. They’re here to bring the percussion to PS4s across the seas, with the English-language release ofTaiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session!,scheduled for later this year in the Asia PlayStation Store.
Before now, the series has only left Japan once, in the form of 2004’s PS2-basedTaiko Drum Master.Drum Sessionis the first current-gen console entry, and boasts over 70 songs, including the Japanese version ofFrozen‘s “Let It Go”, “Zenzenzense” from monster anime hitYour Name., and even crossover songs from Hatsune Miku,Touhou Project,Doraemon, and Pikotaro, the “Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen” guy. Local and online two-player sessions will be supported, as well.
The party piece, though, is a special bundle edition that includes a bespoke Taiko Drum controller to bash on. I can’t wait for some tween to use it to completeBloodbornewith in their free time.
