The World Hobby Fair is on and Taiko PSP DX is invited...players who have been there have had an early chance to test the game! The rumors I'm going to post today are coming from the Japanese imageboard 2ch, where one of its members has already seen a copy of the game at the World Hobby Fair, and had a chance to play it early. Screenshots are prohibited at the event, so there are none.
Even if they're still unconfirmed, remember that all these are spoilers. If you don't mind ruining the surprise for yourself before launch day, click Read More!
1) 7 of the 9 unlockable songs are revealed, and most of them are old songs. Note: Happy & Peace is not a new song, it made its debut on Taiko Anime Special.
Happy & Peace
Dodododo-Donderful! (ドドドドドンだフル！)
Jigoku no Taiko Jiten (地獄の太鼓事典)
Buru-chan no Oya 2 (ブルちゃんのおや2)
Hyakki Yakou (百鬼夜行)
Kissa Rain (喫茶レイン)
BE THE ACE
... so, anything new this time? Some of these revivals are also featured in other recent console games (especially the Wii ones). Where are the REAL surprises?
2) It looks like that Ura mode is finally coming into portable Taiko. We already know 4 of the probable releases (Black Rose Apostle, Etude Op.10-4, Rotter Tarmination, Rumble Ranbu), but what else will see another pattern restyle? And there will be Ura modes for all the difficulties, like on Wii?
3) The Taiko PSP DX game of the World Hobby Fair didn't have Oni mode unlocked, but the Muzukashii star ratings of most of the new Namco Original songs are leaked. Canadea will be 8*, Wanya World is 6* and Ao no Senritsu is 7*. Also White Rose Insanity is 6*, which is lower than most people expect.
4) According to unconfirmed rumors, the total songlist of Taiko PSP DX (discounting downloads) is even larger than initially advertisednot 70, but 80 songs in total. Is it true?
5) You can forget rumor 2, it's confirmed that complete difficulty sets will be supported on Ura. All four difficulties, Kantan, Futsuu, Muzukashii and Oni will have an alternate notechart, and separately selected as a second song, just like Wii.
6) Also confirmed are the obvious presence of Black Rose Apostle and Etude Op.10-4's Ura modes. One more is rumored to be in, and is one of PSP DX's new song, Hatsune Miku no Gekishou.
