[NS2] Demo Out for Japan and A First Taste of Taiko Music Pass


Released today (2022/08/18) on the Japanese Nintendo eShop is the demo version of Taiko no Tatsujin Donder Festival/Rhythm Festival. While you have to use a Japanese Nintendo Account to download, the demo can run in full English depending on your console language

The demo version will feature a very condensed cut of the full game, while giving enough for you to try out most modes and menus. You will be able to:
  • Gain Taiko Power up to Taiko Level 10, which brings you to Chapter 2-3 in the story and unlocking Hoshikuzu Struck
  • Play Performance Game, Donkatsu Toy Battle and Improvement Support with three songs (except William Tell Overture)
  • Play Don-chan Band with William Tell Overture
  • Purchase and dress up with a small handful of outfit items
Yes, you heard us right: there are unlockable songs, even in the demo! This strongly suggests that the full game will likely have more songs scattered in the story to be unlocked, bumping up the track list size to [REDACTED] even before DLC and Taiko Music Pass. our sources tell us it is 86

The story element runs not unlike Cytus II or Deemo: You gain Taiko Points by just playing in the game, and filling up the Taiko Power bar raises your Taiko Level and grants a charge on Kumo-kyun's denden taiko (stores up to 5). The charges moves Don-chan forward in the Rewards Map to unlock cutscenes, new items stocked to the shop or Don Coins to shop with. Certain cutscenes may have mandatory performances (Mainichi ga Donderful in Chapter 1, and Hoshikuzu Struck Futsuu in Chapter 2-3) and song unlocks (Hoshikuzu Struck in Chapter 2-3).

Speaking of Taiko Music Pass, the official site for NS2 is also updated with a partial list of 330 tracks to be available through the subscription service. While with some pretty significant overlap with the NS1 lineup, the currently revealed list also features some oldies-but-goodies not seen after early-3rd generation, as well as recent picks newly breaking arcade exclusivity.
