First Video: Nintendo Switch Version's June 2021 DLC Newcomers

 

A lot of standalone first-timers loom around the Nintendo Switch's ever-growing DLC catalog, starting with this peppy return from YOASOBI with its chained-up cluster sections that offer some leeway for brief handswitching frag

But of course, I wager you're more eager to see what Western-flavored shade of Taiko gameplay lies after the jump the most...

Song of the Week! 5 June 2021

 

You know what's next and so do we: a look back to the roaring sounds of Eurobeat music! Venture forth and hear something more about the surroundings of a track whose genre in Taiko was formerly a Variety exclusive...

Namco Taiko Blog (June 4th, 2021) - Taiko de Time Travel pt.4: 90's Super Eurobeat

 

Etou of the Taiko Team really outdid himself this time around by advancing the latest Namco Original song serialization to a month's beginning in contrast to the former entries getting on the latter end instead!

As in the past, an official blog entry was made to introduce the track with its creators, so that we can start talking about it on this very post while saving the rest of the currently-palpable trivia to our next Song of the Week feature later in the day.

With the previous Taiko de Time Travel entry added pretty late into the month to coincide with the Summer 2021 Rewards Shop, this month's entry (1990's Super Eurobeat featuring Tatsh) came surprisingly early. The track, made in collaboration with virtual singer musica and rapper Parc Manther (of Nanshiki Globe fame), will join Nijiiro ver. tomorrow (2021/06/05). The accompanying post with interviews with the three is also on the Namco Taiko Blog.

Meanwhile, in response to Donders' and Producers' widespread requests (especially from the unfortunately pandemic-stricken locales), the ongoing Idolm@ster 15th Anniversary Collab will be extended for three more weeks to 2021/06/30, instead of the original end of next Monday (2021/06/07).

[NS1] A First out of the Mouse's Vault: Nintendo Switch Version's June 2021 DLC

Possibly one of the best DLC drops for Taiko no Tatsujin Nintendo Switch Version in terms of proportion of debuts, all 7 tracks for the month are at least console debuts, and more than half are series debuts.

While Taiko no Tatsujin has not been a stranger to Disney's animation influences, it is the first time where their live-action arm becomes playable. Also a first, BEASTAR's latest opening theme also opts to have the name of the single as the in-game subtitle.

Individual DLC Tracks: 2021/06/10 (150 yen+tax each)
