"Angel Dream? Again? Seriously?"
Avid players of Taiko no Tatsujin and people who buy every console version Taiko will feel this frustration and even more so recently. Songs that you loved and played to death before on a previous version is going to also be in the very next Taiko game you buy. How does that make you feel?
A few repeats are justified; the Angel Dream example above was repeated from the first Wii Taiko in the second so Ura difficulty could be added, but then it happened again in Taiko Wii: Ketteiban. And if you own a 3DS or a PSP be prepared to see even more of that song. Far from the small songlists of yesteryear, the growing size of the number of songs in a single console Taiko basically forces Namco to have at least a few repeat songs, but are they justified? Especially if they're back-to-back repeats?
Personally I'm fine with repeats being on different consoles as it ensures people who don't have one console will be able to play their favorite songs on another, but repeats within Taiko games of the same console have never been heard of until PSP and Wii. Again, this can be attributed to the huge size of their song libraries. For the back-to-back repeat songs I actually don't play them. Yep, I don't play them, unless I really feel like it. Why play them when I can do so on the version just prior to it, unless there are some new features being added? Two to three games of cooldown is fine, if they're good songs, but isn't it a bit overkill to milk the most popular songs literally everywhere just because we voted for it in popularity polls?
How do you feel about songs that are repeatedly included in console Taiko?
