Twitter Snippets: Japan Confirms Video Game is Art? At least Taiko is involved.

In a unexpected twist, Taiko no Tatsujin is featured in a exhibition at The National Art Centre, Tokyo in Roppongi titled Manga*Anime*Games from Japan (ニッポンのマンガ*アニメ*ゲーム), opening today up to August 31. Among other iconic games in Japanese culture is a whole stack of past Taiko no Tatsujin console boxes, a little set up of Wii U Tokumori and a cabinet of Murasaki ver.

And yes, before you ask, the Wii U2 and Murasaki on either side are playable! (subject to exhibitor's arrangements)
