We have to reference that early-March Taiko Switch rumor post one last time, as the last bits of its forseen contents are about to be released at long last!
Starting on May 16th after a software update, all Taiko Switch players will be able to enjoy the Don Katsu Fight (ドンカツファイト) mode, a 2-player competitive brawl to test which player has the most accurate drumming performance... No matter what the opponent might use against him!
Once that a song has been chosen (any available song is elelgible to choose from!), the two players will try to drain the opponent's life gauge a-la Taiko boss fight scenario, with the most accurate hitter of the couple gaining the upper hand. The special Item Note from the Wii Taiko games is also making a comeback on this mode, either granting fight perks to the player who hits it or distracting his/her opponent by screen-covering action of many kinds!
In a nutshell, this is the same multiplayer mode setting to the Wii games' Powerup Battle mode, with the main differences being the reduced max number of players and the possibility to pick different modes for each players. More screens are available on the Taiko Switch website as well!
In order to celebrate this mode's release, its brand-new Namco Original theme song will be made available for everyone to download for free, from update day (May 16th) to August 7th. After the end of the promotional period, the song will become a standalone paid DLC song.
New Song: May 16th, 2019
