Namco Taiko Blog (18 August 2014): Kimidori joins rhythm game collab!


Summer holiday is over for the Taiko Team, and they seem eager to post this instead of on the usual Thursdays. It's a breaking piece of news; Taiko no Tatsujin Kimidori will be part of a massive collaboration known as the Nationwide Rhythm Game Festival (天下一音ゲ祭), abbreviated to AOU.

It's something like the Game Music Triangle, except on a much larger scale; the AOU involves:
  • One song from each of their respective rhythm games crossing over into other games (something GMT failed to address)
  • Composers from each of their respective game publishers making one new song for each respective rhythm game in the collab
The collab starts September 19th, 2014. More will be explained over time, but having songs crossed over from other rhythm games into Taiko, and exporting songs from Taiko into other rhythm games..finally, that is happening!
