You may notice a few changes made to the site's layout in time for the 1st anniversary, and I'll talk about these in a bit more detail later, but right now, let's play a game.
Lokamp and I thought of two different ways for you to test your knowledge on Taiko no Tatsujin. First up is a text quiz where you just try to answer all ten questions. The second quiz is to guess the name of the song by looking at the note patterns in the screenshot. Sound tough to you? It's not a challenge for nothing! And we have a small prize for anyone who wants to try these too! One for each quiz! To avoid spoiling the challenge, send us the answers by email (either me or Lokamp) instead of commenting below. The comments are used here for discussion only~
