Mario songs in Taiko no Tatsujin isn't terribly new (there have been two different medley remixes of the 1985 original Super Mario Bros.), but this looks really special for some reason.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii, composed from the ground up with the Wii in mind! This song is making its debut in the 3rd Taiko no Tatsujin Wii game. Namco has thrown a lot of weight behind the Wii Taiko games seeing as both the first and second game did so well in sales, but this just pushes it to the next level! One of the best selling Wii games of all time is being used as a song here in one of my most favorite rhythm games! I am so stoked...
By the way, Taiko no Tatsujin has never had any 3D models in its games before. Until now. Mario is awesome.
As for the Taiko Wii 3 minigames, we'll do an extensive feature on them when we have a chance to test the game or get more info on them. Screenshots coming soon!
