Namco Taiko Blog (27 December 2012)- Wrapping up for 2012

It's been a long, long year with many new changes to Taiko no Tatsujin and the way we play the rhythm game (well, not really) and today, in this final blog entry for the year, the team shares a super secret spy mission taking place in the depths of the Future Lab!

On a day in December 2012....

"Everyone in the Future Lab is in the middle of year-end cleaning...now's my chance to take a look at the super secret information!"

"...just going in by stealth, without the need for cardboard boxes or hidden blades..." (references to Metal Gear Solid and Assassin's Creed)

...

"...so this is the Taiko Team's room."

*click*

"Hoho, such neatly arranged tables, it's going to be easy for me to find whatever I need, they're going to regret this..."

"Oh, it's the new arcade from their revealings (Katsu-Don or the March 2013 update? Not sure.)...Oh, it's ****, let's try this"

'*** ta-don!'

"This is interesting, let's take a few pictures of this"

*badum*

"You must be a Taiko expert"

"W-who's that behind me?"

"Taking pictures is forbidden here..."

"This guy...straight into my brain...but it's too late, you can't do anything about it now hahaha...."

"You don't understand, do you?"

*failed*

...

So, what does Etou's mission ultimately reveal? Three mashed up screenshots!




This new mode is called ****, and it will not be revealed until they say so! The rainbow colored thing next to....whatever's in the center is probably random song select, but that's just a guess. What is the second shot though? It's a brand new background menu with three columns...is this a Taiko dojo, or something else? The third shot seems to suggest that a condition has to be cleared in this (blue box).

Whatever it is, only time will tell! And so ends the final blog entry for this year, and the team will be taking a much needed break from now until January 7, 2013, and the next blog update will be on the 10th of next month. See you then, and Happy New Year to all donders!
