Twitter Snippets (December 9 2019): One Collab Down and Another Up

A mix bag of collaboration related news come from the official @taiko_team handle:

For the Japanese arcade goer community, note that the Kamen Rider Zi-O tie-in will soon end, when the "Heisei Kamen Rider 20 Series Commemoration" (平成仮面ライダー20作記念) title and the Kamen Rider Zi-O & Geiz (仮面ライダージオウ&ゲイツ) full-body outfit will stop being dispensed from playing Over "Quartzer" from December 11 2019 00:00 onwards. Those who already obtained the set can continue to use them though.

Meanwhile on the Nintendo Switch, the fishing simulation title Fishing Spirits Nintendo Switch Version adds a Taiko no Tatsujin Rod (太鼓の達人ロッド) after the December 9 update, which adds don and kat sound effects and a special Don-chan summons.

If you've been counting, that is the third piece of news we are hearing from the trio of Taiko no Tatsujin Nintendo Switch Version, Ninja Box and Fishing Spirits Nintendo Switch Version:
If you are guessing that the three Switch titles are going on a massive triple collaboration, you would be correct (example press release via Famitsu.com). The other known parts of this collab-tour include:
  • Ninja Don-chan coming to Ninja Box with fireworks attack
  • Taiko no Tatsujin and Fishing Spirits appearing in the Ninja Box web anime episode on December 16 (trailer)
  • Ninja Box characters fish-able in Fishing Spirits
