Arcade Taiko ta-don!

Taiko no Tatsujin began its life from the arcades. All the machines are made up of one screen in the middle with two drums on the left and right, to support two players. There are two speakers on both sides, so there is no disparity in offset for either player. The first arcade version, and the pioneer of the series, shipped in the year 2001, followed by many, many updates.

Originally Taiko no Tatsujin operated off the much simpler Namco System 10 arcade system board, which basically speaking, had the processing power of the PlayStation1. When Taiko no Tatsujin was first released on a console it retained the old engine, resulting in the first few PS2 Taiko games having PS1 standard graphics and sound.

At the 7th arcade version Namco gave Taiko no Tatsujin a complete overhaul, upgrading the arcade machines to the current, newer system board, Namco System 246, a board based off PS2 technology, and upgraded again to another new format after the 14th iteration to the newer Namco System 357, based off  Playstation 3. In 2020, the arcade version was once again upgraded to the BNA1 LITE board.
