BUT IT'S EPIC JUST LOOKING AT THE BOTTOM PART!
Of course the first thing that people will immediately notice is the songlist of Taiko Arcade HD right at the bottom, but we'll get to that later (or just scroll down if you're impatient).
First up, the live showing of the Taiko Tournament 2011 finals on Japanese television!
It runs on September 17th, from 1pm to 4.30pm Japanese time (GMT+9). A special guest will be the actress that appeared in the PSP DX advert and the overall promoter of the 10th anniversary of Taiko no Tatsujin, Rina Koike (小池里奈)
Or! You can watch the online live stream here on that day!
Next up, screenshots and details of New Taiko no Tatsujin!
As expected, the numerical series is no longer with us, we're beginning a new era once again. The song selection screen looks a lot better now!
Like in Taiko 12 to 14, you select the genre first then move on to the songs inside it. The number of songs per genre is now shown here. The green one right next to J-Pop is the How to Play segment, which is there because the difficulty selection screen is, once again, completely different!
It no longer looks like this anymore! Taking a page from Taiko no Tatsujin Wii, player 1 and player 2 can decide whether they want to battle head-to-head for scores or free play on their own difficulty settings. As usual, 10 hits on the right rim of the drum on this screen will make the Oni difficulty appear. Note: I have a feeling the difficulty settings are all on test mode......there is no way Densetsu no Matsuri is a 5* Oni!
Images on this blog on how to unlock Oni will include these new pictures soon.
Don-chan and Kat-chan's mouths are a little wide though, don't you think? Anyway, the next detail they want to bring you to are the costumes.
They're the same stuff you've been seeing on console versions, only now the feature is finally in the arcade and they are unlocked and kept by means of your Banapassport.
And finally, what you've al been waiting for! The songlist!! 新 means it's a new song. A lot of this are already in the preliminary songlist with a few other surprises!

Page source message is like an appreciation letter from the Taiko Team, and they're saying that they're just as anxious and excited about the reveal of Arcade HD as we are, and asks us to try the machine firsthand at the expo. Um.....anyone here from Japan?
