Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure Pack launches today on Nintendo Switch, new trailer

Leading video game and interactive entertainment developer and publisher BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. today announced that TAIKO NO TATSUJIN™: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK, a two-games-in-one package for the Nintendo Switch®, is now available for the first time in the Americas.

Developed by Tokyo-based DOKIDOKI GROOVEWORKS Inc., TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK officially brings two never-released-in-the-west Taiko no Tatsujin titles (Taiko no Tatsujin Rhythmic Adventure 1 & 2) to players outside of Japan; delivering a one-of-a-kind experience to the cult-classic Japanese rhythm game. TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK presents a unique storyline as players set out on two different Role-Playing-Game (RPG) adventures taking them through different periods in history, and into the future, to battle over 250 different monsters, bosses, and enemy drums.

Players will need to hone their rhythmic drum playing skills in order to beat enemies. Completing challenging rhythmic combos deals more damage to enemy characters, leading to their defeat. However, old enemies can become future allies as players are able to invite vanquished foes to join their party to take on even more powerful enemies and bosses. Fans of the series are also able to enjoy classic Taiko no Tatsujin gameplay in TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK’s Rhythm Game Mode, which features over 130 songs and six entirely new tracks, including “Charles” by balloon (featuring flower) and “Gurenge” by LiSA, the opening theme from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

“We’re thrilled to bring the musical whimsy of the TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK to audiences in the Americas, allowing them to experience the truly unique adventure that has made the Taiko no Tatsujin series such a fan-favorite in Japan,” said Abelina Villegas, Associate Brand Manager for BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “The marriage of its drumming-based rhythm challenges and RPG adventure is sure to make TAIKO NO TATSUJIN: RHYTHMIC ADVENTURE PACK fun for the whole family as we head into the holiday season.”
