NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCS»
On the Playstation 2 and in the arcades, rhythm
gamers played Taiko no Tatsujin with a pair of
drumsticks and a drum. Since the NDS can't support
such a control scheme or contrivance, Namco does the
next best thing for the touch-sensitive NDS -
virtual taiko. The touch screen features a familiar
looking drum which may be tapped upon with your
greasy, buttered fingers but Namco has a better way.
Two stylus drumsticks are included with every copy
of the game which are used to tap on the touch screen
and beat your way to success. One pen is colored
blue for the blue drum cues and the other is colored red
for the red drum cues. The play mechanics are the
same as the big Taiko games and a familiar cast of
characters return such as Unagi, Ika, Toramai, Meka Don,
and Wadatetuo.

NCS Game Notes
» It's okay to use the two bonus touch pens to
play the game but we found that grabbing the NDS
and tapping with both thumbs was somewhat easier
to handle. If you lay the NDS flat on a table, then
the use of the two touch pens is perfect. If you have to hold the NDS at the same
time as the pens, then the gaming sessions gets
unwieldy.
» The colors of the Taiko protagonist's
face, barrel body, and trim color
can be changed and adorned with accessories. The
only accessory available at the outset is a
headband/bandana which goes on top of Taiko's
head. A total of 34 other on-head accessories may
be unlocked along with 35 on-the-barrel
accessories including a fish-body costume, a
dog-body costume, an inner tube, and one where a
baby Taiko stands on top of Don's body.
» The default NDS cues and button controls are as
follows:
Red Face Cue / Hit the d-pad or any of the face
buttons
Blue Face Cue / Hit the L or R trigger
Two additional control settings may be selected which disables the
triggers but uses a combination of the d-pad and
face buttons to trigger the red and blue cues.
When a Taiko with a balloon attached appears, hit
the A button as quickly as possible to blow it up.
» The game starts tracking your consecutive hits
after 10 of them are strung together. Short songs
contain 52 cues while long ones can have 119 and
over.
» If playing the game with the touch pens, the
blue cue can be satisfied by hitting anywhere on
the screen outside of the drum. A big red Taiko
cue requires that you hit the enter of the drum.
