[NSwitch] - Taiko Switch Tidbits from World Hobby Fair Summer '18


With the Taiko Switch game being available in its first public outing, some Taiko troopers came out to report on the new game's more spicy song list details. So far, howevern, the best we could find as a more credible evidence is this picture, highlighting the star ratings of the game's theme song, Furifuri♪ Norinori♪.

Not only that, it appears that a brand new Game Music track is also brewing from a distance (with that distance being the top corner of the snapshot): the oddly-titled TD - 28619029byte remix -. This title is eerily reminiscent to the title of the remix tracks that were featured in Namco's pre-2000s arcade racing game Techno Drive, but its numerical title doesn't match any of the three pre-existing tracks from said racing game... what could it mean?

Post updates (24/06/18) after the jump.


From another Twitter user, we (allegedly) come to know that the Oni modes for the leftover launch Namco Originals in the game are all rated as 8-star modes, except for Tonde Mite (トンデ・ミテ) which has a 9-star Oni instead.

UPDATE (24/06/18) - New details about the starting song list's content has been reported by another Twitter user, included in the tweet below. Below the tweet is the list of the newly-revealed content:
