Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun! was finally announced for localization in both Europe and North America. There's a bit of a caveat though. The drum controller that released in Japan isn't going to see an official release for the localization. For those who really want the drum accessory, you can still import the controller from Japan.
If anyone's curious, it's $73 on Play-Asia, and $120 on Amazon. I was hoping it would be cheaper. Guess I'll give the game a shot with just the joy-cons, and consider getting the drum after that.
You can get it on Amazon Japan man, just make a Japanese account and click the English site option. It accepts US credit cards and the shipping is pretty quick.
Not saying I don't believe you but where's the source? The Polygon website I think said the Drum wasn't going to be bundled in like the Playstation game was.
Such as the Polygon post, this one on GoNintendo does not cite any source to back up that claim...
" We heard back from Bandai Namco, and as of now, there is no set plan to bring the drum controller to North America.
The game will have a physical release in America on both platforms, but it will be digital-only in Europe."

The joy-cons are quite difficult to use with any sort of precision unfortunately. Hopefully there will be a patch for the controllers.
