[NSwitch] - Righteously Attributing the Hit Video to Our Reader (oh and genre-specific loading screen too)



Now that we have some off time among all the news from the previous week, let's talk about this video that many gaming press are using but talk about in almost no level of rigor.

The video is actually from a June 27 (last Wednesday) post from the official Weibo (think Twitter for mainland China) of BNEI of Hong Kong, with the video hosted on Miaopai (think Periscope for mainland China). This specific video is ripped by Nabix from the Taiko no Tatsujin Discord so that people not having access to those two Chinese sites can still check the video. Thanks dude.

Now that the attribution is done, let's actually talk about the video itself. No, not the mediocre-at-best gameplay on Orpheus in the Underworld Overture (which you won't want to count how many releases it has been on), but the genre-specific loading screen like this obviously classical music-inspired design for this Classical tune. Yup, apparently you can randomly use Taiko bachis for everything now.
