Namco Taiko Blog (June 1st, 2023) - No Ordinary Pre-Summer Nijiiro Update



With the heat rising up and No.11 stocking up with his 500 dl x6 daily water supply, here's an update notice that is sure to make you feel as hydrated as drinking three liters of water twice!

March 2020/Nijiiro ver. New Songs

Addendum (2023/06/06): Asia ver. Facebook fan page announcement

It's one big day for arcade Taikos, not for once for what Japan is having as a debutant! For the first time since the PS Vita General Asia DLC catalogues, there's going to be some foreign exclusivity on the song front with one Malaysian love pop song making its playable debut. Sure not the first thing our own blog founder ever expected to read about our beloved drumming series one day, is it not?!

Ranking Dojo 2023, a Better Sneak Peek
More tiles have been filled from the upcoming "Road to 10-Dan 2023" Ranking Dojo infographic we got last month, now with genre slots reveals as well as actual song titles inbetween. The diamond-marked spots for the "weighted around player clear ratio" seats are still anyone's guess, but all answers will be laid over when these main courses set will go live next month, on June 10th!

Like the last time, we also redirect you to DragonRatTiger's social feed for a quick translation of the newly-revealed song tiles, as well as one for a visual reminder from the Taiko Team to be orderly and polite with your game center music gaming needs, also from today's blog entry.


It's also important to mention how the whole Ranking Dojo mode will go offline in preparation of the new Main courses' implementation, starting with the upcoming software update of June 6th bringing the aforementioned newsongs. From now on, you'll also be able to tell in advance when RD mode is unavailable, thanks to a button on the no-credits-inside Attract mode's main splash screen, as seen below.

Seasonal Rewards Shop Update: Summer '23
Together with this year's new RD Main Course revamp, the new seasonal tunes for the Rewards Shop will also barge in! Four items will be available this time around, with three of them getting revealed today as fortuitous arcade revivals and/or firsts: Dodododo-Donderful!, Warera Muteki no Dokon Gang and Yumeutstsu Catharsis from the latest Nintendo Switch game.

No.11 teases how performing a Donderf-something related feat on the semi-eponymous old classic from the 4th Taiko arcade will net something nice to the most daring, but let's see when the time comes for its implementation!

In addition to the seasonal new items, three songs from previous Ranking Dojo upper-echelons will be available for everyone on the default song list. No need for a Banapassport-based unlock anymore to face any of these troublesome trials!

Recommended Summer Songs Folder Release

Last in line for today is the introduction of a new custom folder to let Donders prepare for the incoming seasonal heat with a fine selection of Summer-y songs. For newcomers, it surely beats juggling through the available options to cruise over the thousand-fold Nijiiro song tally, doesn't it?
