Update 23/09/2022: With Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival now available, I’ve updated the track list below with the official English titles used in the game, as well as adding some of the extra songs that can be unlocked within the game.
Original post:
Earlier today, Bandai Namco shared a new trailer for Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival for Nintendo Switch, confirming an October 14 release date for Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, and revealing the Taiko Drum Set edition of the game that includes a drum controller. At the same time, the game’s official Japanese Taiko no Tatsujin website shared the full song list for Rhythm Festival, which you can find below.
Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival includes 76 songs out of the box, with a few more unlocked by playing through the game’s story mode. There’s also the option of subscribing to a Taiko Music Pass for access to a catalogue of more than 500 further songs (and monthly updates to add more). The standard edition of the game includes a seven day trial of the pass, and there will also be a Digital Deluxe edition that includes 90 days access. Finally, standalone DLC song packs will be available, too.
Looking for song lists for Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n Fun and Drum Session? You’ll find them here.
Taiko no Tatsujin has been kicking around for more than 20 years, since its arcade debut in 2001, with numerous other games and spinoffs in that time. It hasn’t always had great traction in the West, but Bandai Namco’s been getting behind it a lot more in recent years, with Drum ‘n Fun, Drum Session, and Rhythmic Adventure Pack all getting worldwide releases. There’s also a Taiko anime that you can stream for free on YouTube.
