[AC0 Asia] Asians, Don-chan Will Make a Man Out of You: Green ver. 2.0 Asia ver. Ranking Dojo Update


We again have intel that operators across greater Asia have received notification for the next firmware update to Taiko no Tatsujin Green ver. 2.0 Asia ver., including the above tweet and a sneak-peek post from Taiwanese importer Sume. The main outfacing point of the update is the addition of the Kurouto, Meijin, Choujin and Tatsujin trials to the Ranking Dojo (title pun explanation: found in all four trials' titles, 人 is the kanji for "man"), surprisingly only one week after their induction in the Japanese version.

While the Donder community has yet to get their hands on the update, we can speculate that the trials would probably be the same as Ranking Dojo 2020 in Japan (except Nijiiro/Green version differences), and each of the four brand-new tracks introduced here will be unlocked by clearing the trial before their appearance:
Addendum: Hands-on experience from Asian Donders reveals that the four songs are NOT unlockable from Asian Ranking Dojo.

Meanwhile, greater-Asian Donders would likely be overjoyed to hear that this update paves the way for an eventual "Taiko no Tatsujin Mar. 2021 Ver. Kit (Asia)" with some background PC board firmware update. This has been the first time we hear about the new kit since the industry presentation back in September 2020.
