Taiko No Tasujin 2 coming to DS, howls of delight ensue photo

Okay. I am going to try to give you, kind readers, the most objective version of this news as possible while I run around my house screaming with happiness naked, having flung all my garments out the window in a fit of furious delight. Taiko No Tasujin is returning to the DS sometime this year. While we have very little information beyond these new scans, it looks like the game will come packaged with its customary drumsticks.

A good look at the scans from Jeux France reveal the Taiko drums moving around on what looks like a world map and interacting with the trainer from the first game. If we can expect the same as we have from the first title, a fantastic soundtrack should be announced soon enough to accompany the game's relelase.

I'll be keeping you posted on any upcoming details of this release, whether you want to know them or not. I also may or may not arrive at your front door to sing them to you in my anteater costume.

What Neonie said. I liked what I played at MAGfest with Cowzilla cause I had no idea what was going on (PS2 version), and then I was thrown into a rousing match of street ping pong and turnip eating.

That and I don't really feel like drumming to American pop music.

That picture reminds me of you, Colette, except now it reminds me of you, running around naked.

@Cow & Rock

So button bashing also helps navigate menus? I got to play it the first day, but the second and third I couldn't get from the title screen to the actual game =(, I guess it must have been all those marshmallows I ate. (Yeah, the vodka had nothing to do with it).

Anyway, I'm gonna order this and both Ouendans from Play Asia as my bday gift =).

Apologies guys, I should have been clearer but I was REALLY EXCITED. All Japanese music and language.

I never even heard of #1.

Anything is better then the Pony Pet type stuff we've been getting recently, though.

What? WHY HAVEN'T I HEARD OF THIS??!?11

As you can see, I take a mild interest in this game.

I think Dtoid should provide Colette with a 24 hour webcam, ahem.

Creepiness aside... :3 :3 :3 !

The original was quite awesome, but moving around on a map? Story? Oof, that doesn't sound exactly import friendly.

That's going to look comical, seeing four people going head-to-head in this, tapping away at their DSs with little drumsticks!
