Taiko 10th Anniversary 3rd big news!


Well that was fast. End the suspense and find out what it is!

It's...a Taiko-themed expansion to Namco Bandai's online avatar/virtual life game, Banafest (バナフェス). Never heard of it? Think of any virtual life game you've played that features customizable avatars, towns, shopping for clothes, furniture and interacting with people and you've pretty much nailed it down. The only difference is who makes it.


This was shown on the Donder page linking everyone to the promotional page of Banafest, while the official blog is currently silent (expect an update on this on Thursday).


The promotion comes in the form of a whole town with a grand festival theme and Taiko's art assets dotted everywhere. With this comes Taiko-themed furniture and the chance to win more rare items.

This might be good news to a small margin of non-Japanese Taiko fans who play this online MMO religiously, which is a grand total of zero people. Another disappointing showing.
