Footage of the goings-on in any gaming convention in Japan is hard to come by, but a reader in Japan named Sai Youcho sent this picture to me from the venue by email showing new Taiko toys to be released March this year.
The largest one on top is a light-up drum toy, where you hit the faces that light-up according to the song, and there are 15 in all! This will be released in late March.
The one on the bottom left is a drumroll game controlled with buttons and meant for two players. Challenge another family member to see who can drumroll the most times! The one on the bottom right, on the other hand, is some sort of balancing game where you stack plastic chips on top of a round Don-chan. Both come out in late April.
Thanks to Sai for the picture!
