[NS2] Running Engines, Ogres and Ghosts Alike: April 2023 Taiko Music Pass Updates

Still not breaking the streak of introducing at least one series-debut track every month since October 2022, April 2023's update to the Taiko Music Pass subscription of Taiko no Tatsujin Donderful Festival features a J-POP pick just breaking 100 million YouTube views, one of the most formidable classical composition remixed, and the amalgamation of the oldest and the newest in Namco gaming history.

[PsVita] - V Version's Gradual Digital Death

We've had our own share of fun at the game center, but there's one past Taiko game that hasn't seen the best of days during this just-ended March: the fan-favorite V Version.

Near the start of the month, on March 8th, the base game has been delisted from the PlayStation Store, meaning that now only those who previously bought the game's digital version can still re-download it, for the time being. This piece of news -displayed on top of this post- came from V Version's website, but there has also been a mass removal of the game's downloadable contents, occuring near the month's end with -again- no pinpointed time of removal or forewarning.

With ALL DLC packs getting removed, now PsVita users have only the chance to purchase a small portion of the game's extra-song catalog as single downloads, for the price of 150 Yen (+ taxes) per song. All the applicable tracks have been listed on this page for a quicker browsing. Again, for now re-downloads of former song packs for former buyers are still allowed.

Sonority Scouts - Prankfully Yours, 2023 Edition

While Taiko no Tatsujin is having its jolly ole fun spoofing high school romancing games (and possibly that soul-drenching pop'n music Lapistoria), the general music gaming scenario has been more active than last year on their shenanigans assets, be it for returning or brand-new April Fools-a-holic aficionados everywhere.

So what are we waiting for!?
