Taiko Wii U2 Update Post

Are we gonna go for it? Choo-choo goes the hype train for Wii U2!

Last update: Nov 20 | No of updates: 26 | No. of songs: 106/100 | Wii U2 Song List
Key: Red = series debut; Blue = console debut

26. More difficulty changes!

• Jigoku no Daiou Oni down to 9* from 10* (new set 4/6/7/9)
• Future Lab Oni down to 8* from 9* (new set 3/5/7/8)

25. We also forgot to report the video for Taiko Tokumori's theme song, Morimori☆Tokumori Rhythm♪ (600 notes on Oni). NOW we are positively sure there aren't any other new songs and/or videos to talk about on launch day!

24. Apparently we missed Mirai e no Kagi. Now we don't. 103+3/100

23. With the Oni video -muted for copyright issues- of Sekai no Owari's Honoo to Mori no Carnival (352 notes), we have finished to cover all the brand-new songs brought by this console Taiko game. The songlist page will be updated soon with all the unlockable tunes, with the addition to the related Unlock page for all the content.

22. Video collection blast! HQ recordings are blooming for almost all the new leftover songs on this game, including the freshly-released Day 1 DLC content. Enjoy!

• Do You Want to Build a Snowman (1/1/3/7), the second song from Frozen that is also available as free DLC for Taiko 3DS 2 users (don't forget today's songpack release as well!). 247 notes and lots of cluster trickery!
• HERO -Main Theme- (3/4/6/8), the new Variety song for the game. 445 notes on Oni!
• Monster Hunter 4G Medley (?/?/?/9), the latest Medley entry for Capcom's beast-slaying franchise. Being the highest-rated Oni mode among the medleys, it's also one of the most filled with notes, counting 758.
• Chouren~Obsession~ (?/?/?/7), the only new launch Namco Original of the game and also the 8th entry for the Kikyoku song series. 445 notes
• Ura Oni mode of Chouren~Obsession~. Rated 8*, different scrolling speeds and trick tempo-alterated clusters spice up the difficulty ratio a little bit. 553 notes.

21. From the Youtube user who uploaded the Sunset Runaway video, here's a 5-minute clip that shows each and every song unlockable through the Mekadon Gacha machines. Watch out though, as not every roll will necessarily result in a song unlock!

20. First HQ video of the Oni mode of Sunset Runaway, Taiko Tokumori's new Game Music track from Critical Velocity. 610 notes.

19. Turkish March Ura Oni video on Youtube for the Youku-ularly impaired. 832 notes!

18. A video on Youku (think it one of China's YouTube equivalents) of the 9★ Turkish March Ura. Streams galore of lengths once only native to Sotsu Omeshiki and Dokadoka, now on a 9★, but the patterns are not complex and are very true to the piano. (Personally I think it might have a 2P because of the awkward nothingness in the middle but hey no game in hand to prove. -tetsu)

17. More on Sunset Runaway, with the help of this shot from Guraloid Room: the source game is Critical Velocity (I wonder when we last heard this name). No free sample is available (flags of DMCA, not gonna risk it for now) but it is being sold on the iTunes as part of the game's OST (Track 1).

16. First Oni video of Labrador Retriever, the latest AKB48 song on Taiko games. 426 notes.

15. From the same Youtube user we also get the first video of Go Go Kitchen's Ura Oni mode. And for those who are curious of the spelling change for the song on this blog, here's why: now the song features its lyrics for the first time in a home console Taiko game! As the revealed lyrics feature actions and items more kitchen-related, Go Go Kitchen will be the name we're going for, instead of Go Go Kicchin.

Anyway, 940 notes for this Hakuchou no Mizuumi-like Ura Oni challenge. Watch out for those speed-ups!

14. Early bird copies of the game are spreading faster and faster! Another pre-release user has posted a video on Youtube about the starting songlist of the game, revealing great part of the rating changes in effect for both old and new songs (highlighted in bold):

• Honoo to Mori no Carnival is rated 3/4/6/7
• Labrador Retriever is rated 3/4/5/7
