Namco Taiko Blog (27 December 2010)- Special collaboration within rhythm games!

Coming in January 2011, Music GunGun 2 (ミュージックガンガン!2) is a succesfull mixture within light-gun action and rhythm games, where the players have to shoot several targets with a lever, always according to the song's groove! The changeling soundtrack contains over 100 songs, from J-Pop/Anime favourites to some Taito custom creations, up to touch the soundtrack of several videogames (like Super Mario Bros). If you wanna know more about the game, you can check Music GunGun 2's official site.

From the end of January 2011, the game's tracklist is going to be bigger. As we have already found several songs from Taito games through the Taiko arcades, even the Space Invaders software house wanted to tribute Namco with one of their most popular tunes. See below if you can recognize it:


That's it. Saitama 2000, one fo the highlander Taiko tracks, is going to freak new arcades with its techno rhythms! Even the usual gameplay will change a bit from the regular schemes:




Funny, isn't it? Most of the gaming situation will easily reconnect to our drumming games. It even appears a Don smile during the bonus time!
