[PS4/NSwitch - West] - Keeping Up With the Taikos, US Edition



As we're ending yet another newsless week on the Taiko side, here's a disclaimer from us about what we can usually gather about the DLC situation up until this ending month for the US versions of the home console Taiko titles.

In comparison to the EU versions, sadly, there's not that much of a big deal about Taiko-related DLC communications to share on Bandai Namco social media platforms, unlike what the European branches of the very same company are still continuing to do. For that reason, we can only rely on video footage from other players to see if other DLCs have been released, until we gear ourselves of the consoles required for the respective games to scout the song DLCs available in the games. In the case of the PS4 game, for example, there's no DLC pack deal unlike the JP/EU versions, meaning that you'll have to browse the in-game DLC song list to see which songs are available and when.

Given the timely release of additional content with the General Asia Taiko games on both the PS4 and Nintendo Switch games, we are sorry to state that we won't be properly able to scout any timely changes for the US versions as they pop up; unless proper notifications/Youtube videos will appear online to confirm the DLC content like the one above (and considering the positive precedent of extra songs appearing at the same time as the General Asia versions), we'll give it a given that the PS4/NS DLC contents and release dates will match the ones on US ones, with the exceptions of the Donder Pack pre-purchase bonuses (Infinite Rebellion, Taiko Drum Monster and Dangan Notes) and the Corocoro 40th Anniversary Song.

Let's hope that the official public Bandai Namco feeds in the US are more lively, in the future...
