We received a response, and as of right now, Bandai Namco US (@BandaiNamcoUS) has no plans on bringing the drum controller for both Taiko no Tatsujin console versions to North America and Europe https://t.co/xTRLwSLWkz pic.twitter.com/BwLQzODojG— bemanistyle (@bemanistyle) 28 luglio 2018
It appears that Western players will have to struggle quite a bit in order to have their own Taiko-authentic home gameplay experience, at least according to this shared bit of information from general rhythm gaming website Bemanistyle's Twitter profile.
Upon contacting the representatives of the Bandai Namco USA branch's Twitter account, said website's curators have shared what they've been told in return circa the TaTaCon/Taiko drum controller peripheral situation for the Western Taiko releases: as of now, there are no plans to bring the respective Taiko drum peripherals to both the Taiko games. Both the American and European releases will be affected by this situation.
It's highly likely for the localized games to have most (if not all) of the features from the Japanese/General Asia versions of the game, so that those who are willing to use the related Taiko peripherals will have to import them from the Eastern retailers.
