Yeah, you heard me. I'm excited about anything Taiko no Tatsujin-related (as you may have noticed from my c-blog header), but hearing that the Wii would soon be getting a Taiko title made my day today. The title was spied in Namco-Bandai's 2008 Financial Summary Report, and although all it says is that the game is scheduled to come out in 2008, that's all I need to know.
The game is unnamed right now, but here's to hoping we find out more details as the year rolls by. If I could use two Wiimotes as drumsticks ... lord, the applications are endless. I have no idea if it will see an American release, but even if not, I can dash to a friend's house and play it on his modded Wii (I would never allow such a thing in my own house, of course.)

@Droll
Yes it is. The American track list was a little questionable but actually had most of the good stuff from the comparative Japanese version (ie classical songs, Namco songs, etc). It's really fucking fun IMO.
Even if it was, there is no way Nintendo would endorse shaking the things at 35Hz.
