crimsonidol38 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 How did I miss this news while I was on Gematsu a few minutes ago? Nonetheless: Great news to hear that the game will have english subtitles in the asian release. I really enjoyed my time with the Vita-version, even though I suck quite hard at rhythm games. Biggest problem for me is the quest mode as I don't understand the menus and both my Vitas are not on a CFW-capable version. Will buy it for sure. And if anyone wants to know the confirmed tracks so far: http://taikotime.blogspot.de/2017/06/taiko-no-tatsujin-session-de-dodon-ga.html Yay, another DECO*27-tune.

I was putting the Japanese version on pre-order yesterday but I held off to see if other sites were going to list it (AmiAmi already sold out in under a couple of hours) Nin-Nin and Play-Aisa are around the same price after postage . Now I am not sure what version to get. I think the English one will be a good option as like you mentioned at times the quest mode on the vita went way over my head, took a lot of trial and error to get all the trophies. The Idolm@ster Taiko games for the vita were also fun but a slight grind post game to get some of the trophies. As for the list of songs.... It has pen pineapple apple pen on it.............. Yep sold..... in all seriousness they do a good job covering a wide range of music so I can't wait to play this one.

starcrunch061 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) This game is a no-brainer. I've missed the rhythm game with the jump to PS4. This should fill the need for a while. Edited August 3, 2017 by starcrunch061 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenpai Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) I played the arcade version when I went to Japan and loved it. If this also comes with a drum, count me in. I'm assuming this is the version we're looking for: http://www.play-asia.com/taiko-no-tatsujin-drum-session-english-subs/13/70bcor Funny, I don't see standalone drum controllers up for sale. Sure hope they do eventually come up, I really don't feel like buying two copies of the game just for the drum. Unless it's just a previously released drum that just so happens to also work with the PS4, in that case, never mind.

thegirlruka Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Has there been any confirmation about the game working with the DS4 in the same way you could use the face buttons for V Version? I'd rather play it with an actual controller than a drum controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be correct, I keep holding off putting it on pre order becasue I hope someone else has a listing for the English/Asia version with either a bundle or sells the drum on its self. But if each version gets their own trophy list I will end up buying both anyway 7 hours ago, kuuhaku said: Has there been any confirmation about the game working with the DS4 in the same way you could use the face buttons for V Version? I'd rather play it with an actual controller than a drum controller. The drum is more of a fan thing. Similar to Project diva Hori release a controller for it but its not needed. You can buy the game on its own without the drum so it would be a poor marketing move if the drum was the only controller that would work.

LunchCannon54 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Given its inclusion in Yakuza 5 and how easy it would be to adapt to the English market I'm surprised this series hasn't been released in the west. Maybe they see the failure of uitar Hero and Rock Band as a deterrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A game on the PS2 was given an English release but it had English pop like Madonna, Britney Spears, Smash Mouth and so on. The staple Japanese music was there but only a small amount.

To be honest, a rhythm game with Western songs doesn't really have much appeal over me. I want that weeby flavor If you can't bring the games over due to licensing issues, then at least make Asian versions with English subtitles. We get the games, they get the money. Win-win. (They should make this for every game, actually). 5 hours ago, fisty123 said: Play-Aisa now has a listing up to buy the drum on its own. Could you please post a link? I can't seem to find it.

From my understanding and going on past titles no. Normally they have both a Chinese version and then another version for Chinese/English. I could be wrong but looking at Play-Asia at this stage they have Japanese, Chinese , Chinese/English versions listed. However at this stage the Chinese/English version has not opened for pre-orders yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
