Next week is going to be an eventful one for the latest Taiko console entry, as the Nintendo Switch game is going to receive the already-hinted-at eSports Tournament (eスポーツトーナメント) mode next week on July 19th, as a free update to the game!

The day after isn't a content-slouching matter either, as a handful of DLC tracks will be added to the game's roster. See you after the jump for those!

First Video: JOIN THE PAC -Taiko no Tatsujin Ver.-

GV	JOIN THE PAC -Taiko no Tatsujin Ver.- 　　Pac-Man 40th Anniversary Official Theme Music JOIN THE PAC -太鼓の達人 Ver.- 　　パックマン40周年公式テーマ楽曲	★3	★3	★6	★9 (606)	-

The pizza-inspired-looks Namco mascot is back into Taiko gaming, with a custom cut of the song that is being used for the historical franchise's 40th birthday. Aside from the incrementa scrolling speed gimmick that permeates its Oni mode, however, it makes for one of the weakest modern 9* candidates to date with quite the old-school notechart backing it up.

Note for title hunters: Full Combo title is "JOIN THE PAC".

Song of the Week! 8 August 2020

We're at the 8th day of the 8th month... Time for a suiting 8* Oni song feature, pronto!

Song of the Week! 2 August 2020

So Lokamp has been out this Saturday due to technical issues with the computer, as also pointed out in our Discord server's news channel. Instead of leaving you guys hanging for too long, I'm gonna slip in with another part of the "unfinished Classical Series Showcase" I have mentioned the last time Lokamp was out.
