pikaby asks: Expectations in the new year?

Last year was a high-riding year for Taiko, wasn't it? Two new console Taiko games, both of which were very substantial, a major HD arcade update with more than just a facelift, and continued support for downloadable songs for PSP all the way to a bang at the end of the year...and so much other stuff happened we're still reeling from all of it!

So, what can we expect in Taiko from this year? The HD arcade is going to have another major firmware patch in March 2013, but the details regarding that are still sketchy...as is the case for the console Taiko games of this year. What would we see for Taiko no Tatsujin in this year? More collabs? Games on new consoles? More online support?

A Taiko no Tatsujin for the Nintendo Wii U could be on the cards as the domain name was registered last year, and the saga is almost guaranteed to continue along the 3DS, but Namco could surprise us and release something for either PS3 or Vita as well. As for collabs, with Namco being close to Sega in 2011 and last year, who knows, we might be able to see a collab with Sega's new rhythm game, Maimai, and see Maimai original songs on Taiko and vice versa (dancing to Saitama 2000 in front of Sega's washing machine, anyone?)

What do you think?
